@Brady_H @krobits Do you wake up early / cortisol jumping currently ?

@krobits Too early to say.

A few nutrition changes/experiments I’m running lately: • Eat 3/4 of the day’s calories before dinner Target right now is 3,500–3,800/day, so ~2,400–2,800 pre-dinner. Places more calories around am workout and doesn’t leave me “compensating” at night or going to bed too full. • Swap some protein for carbs Naturally I’ll eat way more than 1g/lb body weight, so I’m trying to cut protein intake by 40–70 grams per day by replacing a serving of meat/eggs at a meal with a carb/starch (I’ll still eat >1 g/lb with this approach).

@kvlmason Good work on the VFTL therapy session 👏👏

Omg did everyone but me know that hot cross buns are just tea cakes in disguise

@Brady_H They look cool too 👍🏻

First run in the ASICS Superblast 3 and I’m in love. Huge upgrade from the SB2. Softer but more responsive. So fun to run in that my planned 10 miles turned into a 2-hour long run.

@dannykellywords @JackPittBrooke @jaydmharris Nice words from Danny about your nice words - well done Jack 👏

🔥🔥NEW VFTL🔥🔥 A, GULP, HOME WIN!!! ⚽️ At last, something to cheer. 🙌 Unity, effort, front foot... who knew? 🧨 Simons, Gray, Tel... youth to the fore... 😎 And then A HUGE GAME against Forest. Me @JackPittBrooke @jaydmharris pod.fo/e/3b2417

@dannykellywords Shit Danny - most of us have been touched by this horror at some stage. Good health to you - don’t underestimate the mental aspect as well as physical. Hopefully our team can lighten the challenge. 👊

OK, so there's this... ✊️✊️✊️💊💊💊💚💚💚🔥🔥🔥

@biggytimmkins 👏👏

Twenty years ago today I ran in the 800m final the world championships in Moscow! Here’s a snapshot of one of the most remarkable months in my life (so far)!

@London_W4 You’re a proper influencer I think it’s called 😀🍺📷

And as I sit here on the tube, pondering life, the universe and everything, I find it interesting that I have had 7,000 new followers on here in the last 12 hours. Yes, seven thousand new followers in twelve hours. Has uncle Elon retweeted me and I missed it, or something?

@Brady_H Eat more - 🧐. New career as inspo ✅

Trying to gain 5 lb. Suggestions?

@JackPittBrooke @CharlieFBBaker1 Haha

@RunnersNiche @CharlieFBBaker1

New York, 2008: locked myself out of my apartment and had to sleep on a bench in Madison Square Park. Awoken by a policeman w/ a truncheon and then had to perform my morning ablutions in a Starbucks before heading to the office.

@JackPittBrooke @CharlieFBBaker1 Fell down the stairs drunk early evening at Oxford Circus and puked on myself , cruised the tube asleep , woke and got the night bus the wrong way ended at Heathrow , couldn’t get in , hugged a radiator in coach waiting room to stay alive, headed home puke covered & cold

@CharlieFBBaker1 In 2013 I covered a game at Dortmund and thought I could get a 1am train back. But I misread the timetable and spent the whole night on a metal bench at the tiny station next to the stadium waiting for a train that didn't exist. Nothing showed up until after 5am.

@London_W4 £982.45 at least

It’s guess the price of my basket time. I’ve decided that I’m going to start cooking again and eating healthily, so I’ve come to my local Planet Organic shop to buy the finest of everything. Tofu, beef, mackerel, beautiful different mushrooms, organic pasta, noodles, pesto, sauce and many other vegetables and things. Enough for about five meals. Thought my body could possibly do with a rest from battered sausage and chips.

@Nithya_Shrii Yes

When people get in their 50s and 60s and up, do you start thinking about how many years you have left?? I’m curious

@London_W4 @ChrisWalder4 Another thing a bit of old fashioned education would fix 👊

@ChrisWalder4 Yes she should behave however she wants forever and make other peoples lives that bit more shit. It’s the way forwards.

@roccobailey6 Do it ?

Got 14 miles to run this morning, just woke up and all I can hear is the rain BOUNCING off the floor outside

@London_W4 That’s also a symptom of not being punched in the face 🧐

Can and paper bag. Someone here at One New Change shopping centre by St Paul’s Cathedral, had obviously finished their lunch and just walked off, leaving the rubbish for someone else to clear up. A little snapshot into modern day society. Also, I thought it made an interesting composition.

@Brady_H @katnic22 Dead ?

@katnic22 🤷‍♂️ perhaps. We see I guess. Maybe just need to get in worse shape.

🐸☕️

@London_W4 Fantastic news -congratulations to you, your daughter and precious baby 👏👏

Just had news from the hospital: my eldest daughter has just had a baby. One is now a Grandad. I’ll drink to that! Cheers 🍻

@London_W4 You blocked the 9%?

And so as I prepare to be Prime Minister, I thought it important to let you know my policies. So let’s start with what I shall do on day 1: Abolish income tax. This is a disgusting tax that punishes people who work. The harder you work, the more you’re punished. So from day 1 when I take over, you will pay not one penny of income tax. How can that work, I hear you ask? Well, at the moment, you pay income tax and the government squanders most of it. This way, you choose where to spend your money. Remember, everything you buy is taxed and so this way, you will choose where your taxes go, not the government. Imagine the incredible boost to the economy when millions of working people have so much more money to spend in pubs, in shops and going on holiday. The hardworking people of this country will love the incredible enjoyment they get from spending their own money on what they want and enriching their lives. New businesses will need to be set up to cope with the extra demand in spending. New shops, new pubs. More and more people earning money, spending it and paying tax on what they buy, but enjoying paying the tax because they’re spending it their way. This country will be the top of the happiness tables in the world and that’s right from day 1. I am looking forward to being your Prime Minister and making your lives so much better. Thank you.

@London_W4 How come 8% (currently) didn’t pick you ? Odd. 🤣

Who would you rather have as Prime Minister?

@London_W4 Incredible 👏👏👏

This lady has followed me on here for a few years and last week, she contacted me asking for a photoshoot. Her partner had been given four months to live in November and as they’d never had a photoshoot of the two of them, she wanted to create memories. I went to their home and we spent an hour together getting the shots. It was an absolute pleasure to meet them both and I was so touched that she’d asked me to do the photos for them. This is one of my favourites. You can see the love. So beautiful. I’m very pleased to say that they love the photos too and are happy to let me share this special moment with you on here.
