@NicJaJo I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s such an awful feeling as they are really such a huge part of the family.

@Warrendonnelly It was a warm one. Thankfully I was at the track by 9am but it was getting pretty warm by the end of the session. It really is a beautiful place to run. 😃

@JonFielden A hot one this morning! Lucky enough to spend a few days there, running heaven.

Saturday morning track session. 400s. What a stunning morning for it. #chamonix

@HybridSthenics The scenery is glorious and I love 400s! It’s a great distance - short and quick. 800s are so much tougher for me. Give me 400s any day!

@JonFielden Stunning scenery for an impossible workout😄 I hate the 400s.

Sunday morning trail run. #chamonix

@tomwilliams1974 @d_robinson71 It’s a great race and a stunningly beautiful course. I ran it last year. It’s also quite rolling - Lausanne is not a flat place! - but without being too much. Really well organised. You should really enjoy it (well as much as you can ever enjoy a full gas marathon!!).

Inspired by my good mate @d_robinson71 I've entered Lausanne Marathon (October 25th) with the aim firstly to get fitter, and then qualify in 2026 for Boston in 2027. And perhaps even one last sub three, eventually? To find the training time without compromising elsewhere, I'll be limiting my access to social media (particularly here and Instagram). Will be posting everything on Strava, so hopefully see you there (link to follow this Tweet) ❤️

@millsy262 Well done!

Full stats to follow. That was hard work. For a “down” run there are a lot of uphills! Had a very good first 50 miles. Last bit was a bit of a shuffle home.

@millsy262 @ComradesRace Always go with the fast shoes! Have a great race.

Final checks before setting the alarm for a 2 am bus to the start of @ComradesRace Just need to pack some toilet roll and an Imodium or two. Still undecided on the shoes. Heart is leaning towards the fast ones.

@SMillbery @Shiwon_NZ_Ao It’s definitely an 80s socks kind of vibe.

@Shiwon_NZ_Ao @JonFielden Socks come to mind, odd colours…

Miracles do happen! A race photo where I’m not gurning (or looking faintly disturbed) and I’m actually looking at the camera. 😃🕺🏼

@Shiwon_NZ_Ao Thank you. Fluorescent colours are where it’s at! I just needed pink leg warmers to complete the look.

@JonFielden As a child of the ‘80’s, I salute your colour choices. 🫡

@SashaBirkin Thank you! My race photos are usually awful so this one made a nice change. :-)

@JonFielden Great shot! 📷

@TrissIsHotter That’s definitely doable. Berlin is a great course - as quick as it gets. Three potentially easy wins to boost your time are to get your fuelling sorted, don’t go out too hard and get a good pair of shoes. Obviously consistent training helps as well!

@JonFielden Thanks. That is impressive. I am 46. Ran my first 3:37 last year with 12 weeks and barely knowing what I was doing. Aiming for sub 3:15 in Berlin. Your success gives me hope.

Marathon des Terroirs du Valais - 2:59:32. 13th overall. 1st in AG. 2 road marathons in 4 weeks is hard work, especially after setting a PB (2:56:41) 4 weeks ago. Another sub-three for the collection - seven in two and a half years now. 48 years old when I ran my first one. 😃

@ogeerunner Thanks very much Allan. Road marathons are hard but I’ve really enjoyed running a few of them over the last couple of years. Such a tough distance and so tricky to get right. I need to use what little speed I have while I’ve still got it!!

@JonFielden Bloody fantastic mate. You're rocking those marathons!

@LapChallenge Thanks very much Graeme. Really happy with that result in the circumstances. I definitely need to give my legs a break now though!

@JonFielden Awesome that!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@victoria_stears Thank you! Really happy with that. I could definitely feel the previous marathon in my legs for the last few Ks though!

@Warrendonnelly Thank you very much. Really happy with that. 😃

@JonFielden Brilliant Jon. 👏👏👏

@HikingSchweiz Thank you very much!

@JonFielden Wow, amazing result! Congratulations! 👏👍💪🇨🇭

@TrissIsHotter I’m 51 now. I ran my first marathon in 2008 in four hours fifteen minutes. My first sub-three was 2:58:39 in 2022. Between 2010 and 2022 I only ran 2 road marathons but I ran a few ultras over that period.

@JonFielden How old are you now? And what was your first time?
