@TheJoeySwoll I bet the other guy could beat him in a foot race. Everyone has different fitness goals and perceptions of what fitness is and looks like.

Leave people alone at the gym! #MYOB

@fesshole I feel like this was uploaded on the wrong account @anon_opin

Taught 9yrs at state school. Took job at private school after personal trauma hoping for easier working life. Money not as good, avg teacher NOT better than state, aggregate working hours far exceed state - but kids much nicer and I'm much happier.

@taggartvanetten But they have a proven gel storage system. Aka a pock……don’t say it, don’t say it!

@oxfordteddy @InvisibleJim1 @pmberry2007 @MeltedBastard @IBLRG @TPT_National Yeah, that’s for Saturdays 🤟

People of Sheffield and Leeds: Rishi Sunak says he will quadruple the number of trains between Sheffield and Leeds. As there are currently five per hour each way, that will mean 20 trains per hour: one every three minutes. Rail boffins: can you help me understand how that works?

@InvisibleJim1 @oxfordteddy @pmberry2007 @MeltedBastard @IBLRG @TPT_National Bang goes my Sunday long run, then.

@oxfordteddy @pmberry2007 @MeltedBastard @IBLRG This would mean losing the @TPT_National ?

@RichardAScott @Femi_Sorry Why do all the Eton educated, former bankers end up as politicians?

@timeshighered @bamaengineering @C21U @peteludovice Interesting stuff, but a bit of a stretch to refer to a 45 year old film as popular culture. I doubt most of my students would get the Star Wars reference. My humour is rarely their humour!

Humour is a versatile teaching tool, @bamaengineering and @C21U’s @peteludovice explains on #THECampus. It’s fun, it makes a lecturer approachable, helps make complex concepts relatable, shifts cognitive load, and encourages innovation in the classroom bit.ly/3ESHMdx

@80percentvegan Well, that’s all thems instacoaches out of business now, then.

Well there we are. About as vague as it gets

@AthleticsGBR Wait til you see Yulimar Rojas in a sack race!

@chrismjoneschef Tbf yeah, it does remind me of school sports day 😁

The finishing tape. Seems to have been reintroduced in Eugene across all track events, Inc sprints and is purely for advertising reasons. No need for it at all and imo there is a possibility of entanglement.

@James_Athletics Sam Tanner beating the previous world best and coming in 11th…

One of the greatest middle distance races ever?

@JamesBSumner @JAllen20 £88.9671 per hour? Erm…just a tad over £170k a year, then. Not bad for mid career! 🤣

@JAllen20 News to me if true. Would let me in for quite a lot of back pay.

Not the least of this week's tasks is to get my employer to explain why it deducted exactly £5515.96 from my August payslip, using language clearer than "Strike 62.00 -88.9671". Suggestions of what that means welcome: I'll give a prize of *checks wallet* nothing for the best one

Noah Lyles has had just about enough of US sports teams calling themselves world champions.

@BalogunTiana @SpaceDaddiesNFT @XRPMythBuster @InternetH0F It’s 20

@SpaceDaddiesNFT @XRPMythBuster @InternetH0F It's 19, not 18.

@paddy_martin_ Great advice and really impressive. Time on feet-consistency-recovery. Every…damn…week. Might not get you to 2.24 but will definitely get you faster that you ever though you could be.

This time last year I had never run a marathon and was 41 years old. I had only run 2 half marathons. Now I've run a 2.24.31 Marathon at 42 years old. Here's my 7 tips for becoming a faster runner quicker.

@JujuliaGrace @13sarahmurphy I’m curious, would a surgeons productivity metric be how many patients they operate on, or how many they actually save/treat/help?Typical Tory mindset where productivity/income is the sole measurement of success, no recognition of quality/value/worth etc.

MPs have had ten pay rises since 2010… How’s everyone feeling about their productivity? theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

@CharlieRadUK @academicswrite Scopus AI will solve this problem for students, though.

I did a thing this term where I told my students they were allowed to use ChatGPT. The catch was, they had to tell me about it in a reflection when they handed in their paper. This is a thread about how it all went.

@mrjosereyes @UKRunChat Pretty sure I’ve seen 1500m races like that before!

The cycling sprint is most bizarre thing in this #WorldCycling Championship. A three lap race where the riders basically crawl along watching each other for half the race - then belt it. They should do this in the running 1500m. #ukbikechat #ukrunchat

@runroblarun @TheDoctorFPL @hardestgeezer 🤣 nailed it. Prob loads of tribe Chiefs knocking about in Clifton 9’s #tradingforsafepassage

@chrismjoneschef @TheDoctorFPL @hardestgeezer Man doesn't need Alphaflys... Surprised not barefoot. Probably is. I reckon he only puts the Hokas on for photos. 💪

#ProjectAfrica Day 107: 60km Gonna be honest the last few days have probably been some of the toughest of my life. On day 102 I was separated from the boys & the support van after some impassable roads in the planned route. In an attempt to find the boys at a village on the plan B route, I stumbled into a rural settlement where the chief told me I must give him money. I had none. So that went down well. Pretty soon I found myself surrounded by lots of game blokes with machetes. Was escorted out the village into the bush. Mind was racing. I’ve heard the horror stories. Thought I might be about to become one. Emptied my bag to show I had nothing but a half eaten biscuit. Gave it to them, and ran. Spent the next few hours bushwhacking through overgrown jungle paths. Trying to stay off any tracks until I was far away. Made it to the village on the plan B route to find the road was also impassable for the support van again. Exhausted and dehydrated, I started heading back to the last known place with passable roads when 2 blokes pulled up on a motorbike. They spoke no English but tried to communicate I must come with them to get back to my friends. As you can imagine, I was extremely reluctant. I also had no money, food, water, signal, data, or knowledge of where the boys were. Was growing increasingly concerned that I wouldn’t find any of these things before sunset. So I decided my best bet was to trust that the boys had sent these guys to bring me to them. What happened next was a 7 hour motorbike ride deeper into the jungle. In my head I thought this was it. Me. The self proclaimed hardest geezer. About to get held in a Congo gulag before being ripped apart limb by limb and eaten. So yeah. That was some going. Eventually I rolled into a village late in the evening where I was taken into a hut, and lots of men argued about what to do with me and talked about how much money I owe them (still had none). Then the acting chief who spoke small amounts of English came, and we managed to iron things out. Get French speaking Harry on the phone, and find that this was a misunderstanding. The boys spent the next couple days trying to get together a rescue plan through some of the worst roads I’ve ever seen. Bring some money for these people, and get me back. We made it out. And travelled back to the start point of day 102, where I ran 60km today on our new route. My head ain’t fully there right now. But we move the same way as always, forward🫡

@runroblarun @TheDoctorFPL @hardestgeezer And the shoes Rob, he’s get it done quicker in Alphaflys 🤷🏼‍♂️

@TheDoctorFPL @hardestgeezer Yeh, would be better trebling.
