Paul Tonkinson

@F1shyBob Yup. Everyone wanted to take him on .

@PaulTonkinson Were kids winding him up? "Your dad couldn't even beat Muhammad Ali"

Used to go to school with his son. Lots of scraps !

Awww….so kind. BUY THIS BOOK !!!

@steven23gall @RunComPod Scorchio Treadmill in Italy for me !!

Boiling bank holiday bonus run along the riverside this morning. Factor 30 needed before 9.00 am @RunComPod 🏃‍♂️🥵☀️🏃‍♂️

@gaslighter @Alexandr4Denman @mikestockmusic This incident happened years ago and yes, change carriage. Swallow pride for a second, live longer.

@Alexandr4Denman @mikestockmusic Never, I repeat never get into an argument on an empty train with a stranger that looks like this. In fact, just move carriages quietly and smoothly.

This is CCTV photo of Lee Pomeroy a dad that's was travelling from Guilford to London with his 14 year old son , a row broke out with the other one pictured sitting down David Pencille when he blocked the aisle moments later Pencille stabbed Lee in front of his son 18 times in a frenzied attack and left him to bleed out and die at Horsley station in front of horrified passengers , this was one day before the dads 52nd birthday . Of course Pencille tried to deny the murder and said it was self defence but thankfully justice served as the jury all agreed to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 28 years , all very well but it doesn't bring the loving father and husband back in my mind .Very sad and proves our country is no longer safe for anyone

WIN a copy of @PaulTonkinson’s new book Running Through Sand along with a Beginner Trail Bundle from Harrier Trail Running worth £85. Join Paul as he takes on the toughest footrace on Earth, the Marathon des Sables. While training for the event, calves explode, tendons pop, knees disintegrate. Years come and go, time seems to be running out as the race seems an impossible dream and then, in 2024 when fitness is finally achieved, a freak accident. Paul is run over by dogs, hospitalised, all hope is lost… Spring 2025, the planets align. Tonkinson snags entry to MDS, two months till race time. It’s on – the last hurrah. Get the gear down from the attic, apply the toe jelly and find that mandatory whistle. With such little time to train, he can’t compete any more that’s for sure. So the question is more basic: can he possibly finish? Along with the book, kickstart your own trail running journey with the Beginner Trail Bundle from Harrier Trail Running. Equipped with essential gear like a race vest, soft bottles, and a mini first aid kit, this bundle has everything you need to take on the trails. By entering you agree that your email address will be added to both the UKRunChat and Bloomsbury databases. We will have one winner who will be chosen at random on Sunday June 28th.

@Clare1744 De Zerbi plus investment. Next year will be a lot better.

Finding it very hard to celebrate back-to-back 17ths, Henry.. 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Hosang @CunhaSZZN Know its end of season but i’ve been impressed with Utd last two games. Enjoyed football more and appreciated Carrick prioritising strong finish. Picking best 11. I wish Mount could stay fit.

@PaulTonkinson @CunhaSZZN Expected points is based on xG performance and is less noisy when making long term predictions than actual points.

Good finish to the season. My start of season prediction = 65 expected points. Finishing expected points per Understat - 64.45. Projected expected points at 5th Jan - 62.7 for a those that are interested. “All I have is correct opinions.”

@Hosang @CunhaSZZN Sorry. Whats difference between expected points - actual points ?

@CunhaSZZN @PaulTonkinson Can you actually read? I predicted 65 expected points in August. We got… 64.4 expected points.

@RealTimVine Outrageous !!!!

Bruno Fernandes 21 assists accounted for 30.4% of Manchester United goals. Henry's 20? 23.5% KDB's 20? 19.6% Özil's 19? 29.2% Cesc's 18? 24.7% Lampard's 18? 25.0% KDB's 18? 22.5% Salah's 18? 20.9% This was the greatest season of individual playmaking in Premier League history.

@boydie71 Cheers ! Glad you enjoyed it

@PaulTonkinson loved the book Paul. Congratulations. #running #mds #sand

@AnnemarieDray Agreed Thanks for your reasonable yet passionate takes Optimistic for next season but then - i always am !!!

Lovely end to the season. So much joy and hope restored. Champions league football and Carrickball to look forward to. Thanks for all the chat on here all season. 🥰

History won't give a shit about the people who can't handle Bruno Fernandes breaking the PL record for Assists. What history will remember? Bruno Fernandes. Footballer of the Year. Player of the Season. Players' Player of the Year. And there's nothing anyone can do about it.

The most assist in a single season, from the best player in the premier league History made 🇾🇪

@Hosang Carraghers weird. In game analysis quite good but classless / clueless re history / opinions.

City won the league with Mancini so there’s one single reason.

Published this week and just finished it. A terrific read - yes, the Marathon de Sables but also deep on running, challenges, age, motivation and life. Recommended. Good work @PaulTonkinson

@WightmanGeoff Very kind of you Geoff. Glad you enjoyed it.

@StevenF97366380 All planned to boost sales

@PaulTonkinson I think it's no coincidence this sudden heatwave arrives as "running through sand" hits the shelves. It gives us mere mortals the chance to sit outside reading, pretending we can relate to the heat you where up against 🥵🥵😂😂
