One of the runners still on loop 1 has a 100 mile PR of just over 15 hours. We are 27 hours into the #BM100.

Time for a Christmas classic

Can anyone explain how they achieved these times without wearing nose strips?

It’s not a flex to go into a race severely undertrained. The training block is the work. The race is the reward.

WHAT was your grandmother's name... I'm looking for a vintage girl's name. Not Betty!

@mudrmdb @DavidDack Aye cause people can't train right. Train & run to your pace shouldn't need to walk.

@DavidDack Jeff Galloway’s run/walk system is popular for a reason.

Real running means no walking? Keep your rules to yourself – I'll take a finish line over your approval any day.

@MKBomann @runliftrunlift Or just don't stop - you won't need a calculation. 😎

@runliftrunlift This just sparked an idea for my Strava to Google Sheets app: automatically calculate resting time for every activity by subtracting moving time from elapsed time.

Some runners have misplaced fears about stopping/taking breaks during runs. I’ve never worried about it. You can’t tell me my run yesterday didn’t meaningfully contribute to my fitness, even though I took several breaks to take pictures, go to the bathroom, etc For a half marathon tempo run or marathon specific long run, sure, you don’t want to stop to take a 15 minute phone call. But for the most part, taking breaks and walking around - especially on long runs - will probably be more beneficial than not.

@tim_roozendaal That's a lie in 🤣🤣

Mate - "Do you want to join me on my long run?" Me: Sure! Mate - "Well I have to work at 10 so we have to be early" Me - How early? Mate - "Around 6:45 am" Me - ☠️☠️ Who needs enemies when you have friends like this.

@theryandreyer Chicago 2:59:18 - 168 avg. Close. Historically poor cadence.

Has anyone ever run a sub-3 marathon with a cadence below 165? I doubt it Cadence is easily #1 thing for new runners to improve Especially former strength guys who move heavy Get to 170 spm minimum

My stretching routine involves me curling down to put my shoes on. Thats about it. 🤷

Mind-blowing discovery 🤯

@firmfitness99 Personally 8 is my sweet spot 😁

Marathon runner? Got time? Run 10. We all need more volume and frequently running this distance re-frames. 10 ain't long. #make10thenew6

@minimalist2021 @JenniferSey Every single year

@JenniferSey Didn’t all males win in the NB categories in the Boston Or New York Marathon a few years ago? 😂

This guy entered the Boston Marathon in the “non binary” category. He didn’t qualify in men’s. “Non binary” uses women’s times. People are mad saying he exploited “non-binary” standards and there’s no evidence he’s “non binary.” Who wants to tell them?

Wake up at 5am to get your workout in before work Turn down the donuts at the office Meal prep your lunch And also Go out with friends on a Friday night for burgers and a beer Indulge in some ice cream with your kiddos Zoom out and see that health is multidimensional You must make sacrifices And You gotta live

The GOAT crosses off another career milestone ✅ Eliud Kipchoge finishes 17th in the 2025 NYC Marathon in 2:14:36, completing the World Marathon Major circuit with first-time finishes in both Sydney and New York this fall. Kipchoge, who won four of the seven majors, turns 41 years old in three days.

@d9monti @irishathletics @jgault13 @Cathal_Dennehy @AthleticsWeekly @WorldAthletics @EuroAthletics @IrishRunnerMag Not to mention how difficult the Dublin course is - its a truely mind blowing run from a 19 yo.

A little more about 19 y/o #AvaCrean who won the @irishathletics marathon title at #DublinMarathon in 2:34:12 PB. She also won the marathon in Limerick on May 4 in 2:43:39, and the Charleville HM on Sept 14 in 1:15:22. On Oct 12 she ran 1:14:06 PB at the Manchester HM.

If you don’t feel like running, then don’t. If you’re not willing to make the time, that’s ok. Just understand that on race day, someone else getting the results you want found a way to get their miles in. That’s the difference. Some runners make it happen no matter what. Others make excuses. It shows on race day. Consistency is everything.

@MichaelDBrandt Yesterday 🤣

When was the last time you ran so hard you bled?

@bbculp @brady_h It's not controversial at all - it's complete sense.

@brady_h That's your most controversial?!

Maybe my most controversial running opinion? If you run a personal best time during a self-timed time trial, that’s great, but it doesn’t count as an official ‘PR.’ Chip-timed race please 🤷🏻‍♂️

@johndsq What's first in series called John?

Incredibly happy to report that my (excellent) local library ordered the latest Mick Herron novel. One of the best series I have ever read.
