@scottroots @Strava That’s great. I need to keep track or else it gets out of hand with snacks etc.
Have really enjoyed my off season after spring races with a weeks all inclusive and a boys weekend away.
A bit of normality will help.

@millsy262 @Strava I’ve managed to drop 6kg in 8 weeks, averaging 2400 cals a day (I don’t track gels etc when running)
English
Gonna be that guy for another week, let’s see them @Strava weekly charts people!!!
They reset tomorrow, so go hard!!

@pkmckay147 @Yo553rHugh35 @SYS_04_ @tumekoivisto @lucyjaynewhite1 Just came to say the same to see quite a few others had beaten me to it!

Harry Maguire, who is English and Northern Irish…
… has been demographically replaced in the England World Cup team by an African named ‘Addji Keaninkin Marc-Israel Guéh’ born in Ivory Coast.
What’s the point in a ‘national’ football team if someone who is NOT from that nation can join?
Maguire should play for England. Guéh should play for Ivory Coast. Common sense.
I’m sure Maguire isn’t even allowed to contest this decision because, as his shirt says in the photo below, ‘no room for racism’.

@Holding532 @TrailsAndAlesUK I’m assuming many have no qualified run leaders / insurance etc. often see groups out in the winter with no real pace structure wearing dark clothing, no lights on unlit paths.
English
@TrailsAndAlesUK They get 30-50 people a week as well it's nuts 😂 stealing a living
English
Depends are you going to carry on reporting to the EA?
Bet that poor kid in the Arsenal T-shirt is happy atleast with his team winning the PL.
Donato 🍕@poetwithpace
What do you think? Should run club leaders be paid… instagram.com/reel/DXUWexEDI…

It’s that time of the week before @Strava resets for the week… let’s see those mileage charts!!!
English
@TrailsAndAlesUK @montythemole They look like the first pair of running shoes I ever had (2008) might have to get them out the garage and wear to the pub on Friday evening

@SteAssent Running seems to have loads of unwritten rules that other sports don’t have.
When playing cricket, rugby, golf etc in my younger years it was always about the score and no one got funny about it.
English
This new trend of people saying don't ask me my marathon time ask me instead (bunch of lame questions)
Is fucking lame.
It's a timed event you sausages.
And if I could wave a magic wand and give you the fitness to run a 2:30 marathon, they'd all take it.
Like doing a powerlifting meet and then getting mad when someone asks your total lmao.

@WG_RumblePants @DanielWhitby @IS_Netwrk29 I thought SS was Stuart Surridge too.
Used to have the Jumbo back in the 90s

🚨 NEW BAT SPONSER OF VAIBHAV SURYAVANSHI 🚨
- Vaibhav Suryavanshi was now sponsored by SS (Sareen Sports) for his bat. But according to sources, one of the most popular brands, MRF (Madras Rubber Factory), is now set to sponsor his bat. This is truly a very big deal for Vaibhav Suryavanshi. 🤯

My Vo2max when I ran a 4:01 mile was 67
My Vo2max when I ran 4:05 a few years later: 76
Performance is what matters. Looking at one number in isolation or chasing it is not the answer.
This is why an obsession over any measure is misguided. Performance is holistic.

@mariogrv1982 @BolsaCorredor Wondering what the top case of someone with no athletic development previously becoming a fast marathoner? Is there one?

El atleta Sam Griffiths 🏴 ha protagonizado una de esas historias de #running impactantes.
Hace apenas 3 años pesaba 125 kg y apenas podía completar distancias cortas. Este domingo hizo 2:23:02 en el #LondonMarathon, terminando en la posición 43.

@SteAssent Every day was leg day hauling the extra weight around for a few years. Must have helped somewhere.

@jamescutlan Still got one of these. Still makes the occasional appearance

Who's the first player you think of when you see this Liverpool shirt?

@scottroots I’ve just checked my stats.
Faded by 3 mins in the second half which isn’t great but still gained nearly 900 places overtaking 20% of the people that were in front at halfway.
English
@scottroots You weren’t really trying in the first half.
I thought I’d faded quite badly, for me, but nowhere near as much as some. I’ll have to dive into those stats.
English
London marathon stat based on Men gender position.
At 5k I was in P13513, I lost another 200 places by 10k and crossed in P13719.
By halfway I was in P12536
At mile 26?
P8907.
I overtook over 4,500 people, 80% of them were in the last 15km.
What does that teach us?
English
What's something runners used to say but is now a relic of the past?
I'll go first: "racing flats"
English
@nazdaiquiri @UltraRunner26 @jwlindl I was running around 2:48- 2:51 off that 5k time.
Probably my diesel engine.
English
@UltraRunner26 @jwlindl beg to differ. my 5k PR is 17:45 and marathon is 3:16.
English
Most would struggle to hold it for 400m I know that I can’t
David Dack@DavidDack
I don’t think people really get how different elite marathoners are. A sub-2 marathon is 4:34 pace… for the full 26.2 miles. Most runners could train for years and still not hold that pace for a 10K, let alone a marathon. At that level, it’s not just discipline anymore. It’s talent, genetics, years of training, insane pain tolerance, perfect execution… and honestly, bodies that seem built for this in a way the rest of us just aren’t. Different game entirely.
English
@sanguine61981 @DiBrander @RossMcCaff If he’d said from the outset he was going for 2:40-2:45 people outs have said fair play.
It was the jump from 2-52 to 2-30 target that got the backs up of people who knew the difference in class of these performances. (I’ve run 2:48 & 2:49) for reference
English
@DiBrander @RossMcCaff Twitter is a strange place at the best of times, but this guy getting pelted for only running a 2:45 marathon is right up there. Do you have any clue of the training required to reach a 2:45 marathon?

Hardest Geezer was 15 minutes off his planned time and *still* did the hashtag ad plugging the runna app. So too did a runfluencer who didnt even finish! Is this meant to be good publicity?
Betty@Lizabidobay2
I see the hardest geezer is saying he didn’t get his sub 2:30 marathon time because he nearly shit himself at the 10km mark 🧐
