Ben Hobson

Philippe Gilbert saying "piss" is today's tour highlight.

The team van seemingly being jump started in the background of the winner's interviews is the most quintessentially British racing scene thing that could have happened.

Fascinating read, great running.

I’m sick for the third time in a month. It’s impossible to prepare for a race when you have small/young kids. A complaint and a fact.

My eldest sends voice notes now on our phones and whenever he wants to add a comment to the one he’s just sent he says, “GPS” instead of P.S. and I couldn’t love it more.

@katehelencarter They were getting a bowl. They weren't even near the tap. That's a very cruel punishment.

I just got told I "pushed in" to get water in the shared work kitchen and I'm ready for another lockdown now.

@JoeWelstead Old skool blue doesn't count...

@BenHobson 😭

Very much at the point now where if you have blue tick, it's a warning,

@houseofcardinal Hope you're doing ok Justin.

Again, it’s a thank you to the #NHS for their continued care & acute intervention. In a system under remarkable strain I’ve been made to feel safe when I was truly terrified We cannot afford to lose this vital resource & the gov do not care #fuckthetories #SupportTheStrikes

@smythy9 @katehelencarter I need to do a video with all the theatre of these videos, but with a nice bubble bath at the end.

@katehelencarter @BenHobson Can relate 😂🙌

Just to check, people still get into WARM baths, right? Insta would suggest it's now ice baths or nothing.

@Prakky @unrealJoJenkins I think you might want @BenLeighHobson - I haven't written a book, sadly, but with a name like Ben Hobson I imagine it's the best book ever.

@unrealJoJenkins @BenHobson Is he Aussie? I started out remarking on an Aussie debut thriller list…

@unrealJoJenkins Hallo! Seems you and I are two of the thriller writers in the 2023 publication club. 😁 Know about others?

Chris woke up at 6am to talk to us (he lives in Hawaii) and was able to speak eloquently and with passion, where as at 6am I can barely communicate, so that makes this even better!

If you listen to the RW podcast (thanks!), we're getting close to the 200th episode, so here's a question for you - who haven't we had on that you think we should chat too?

My timeline this morning really highlighting the astounding ridiculousness of the conversation around bikes and cyclists at the moment. 25% are a slip away from murder (the knowingly did it) and what does that mean? 2 year driving ban and unpaid work. FFS.

@rich_mitch @j0n05 @andywaterman Ah my bad, probably is the pace 1, got ahead of myself. There’s a few new releases coming so lose track of the numbers. Not to peddle our wares, but here’s the review on RW - runnersworld.com/uk/gear/tech/a… - if you haven’t seen it.

@j0n05 @rich_mitch I can’t remember off the top of my head if you can add routes to the coros/kiprun, that’s the only thing perhaps worth considering, but the coros training hub app/interface is pretty decent too, so it’s generally a decent UX.

@rich_mitch @BenHobson I've got the Coros version and it's ace. Battery life is superb. Would definitely get the Decathlon one if I were in the market today.

Doing a lot of trawling amazon for prime running deals in this sale thing and these gore-tex salomon speedcross 4 for about £70 is decent - amazon.co.uk/dp/B017SR0BB0/- if you need some new trail shoes for winter.
