This is a very very very good piece on the Barkley Marathons this year.

This is just part of the minimal insight that I LOVE about this race. What is *happening* in the new section?! What horrors?!

Keith@keithdunn

Jared Campbell @derajslc finished loop five of the #BM100 in 59:30:32. This is his fourth finish. “That new section is brutal. You are a bad man.”

@adharanand @Ultra_Damo Totally. My heart goes out to him. I was rooting so hard. Completely astonishing though.

Adharanand Finn@adharanand·22 Mar

Ah shucks. So close again. Incredible effort @Ultra_Damo

Keith@keithdunn

Damian Hall @Ultra_Damo came in from the wrong direction after not completing loop five of the #BM100.

I would like to thank the Chatterbox team for being so understanding about my run commutes, snack obsession and office-based foam rolling. 🙃 You lot are wonderful.

Chatterbox Audio@ChatterboxHello

What a way to introduce our new in house producer Lydia Thomson! Running 100 miles, coming 3rd out of the female runners and all done in slightly over 23 hrs 🤯 We knew she could do it 💪🏅 Is this the start of the Chatterbox running club? 🤔

@elainefeeney16 Thank you for writing such a gorgeous book! And huge congratulations to you. 💚

I absolutely loved working on #HowToBuildaBoat. We all knew we were handling something really special, so I’m really happy it’s on the Booker Longlist! The audiobook was perfectly cast with @cobbler00 - his performance is a delicate, remarkable thing.

Courtney Dauwalter set the Western States 100 course record of 15:29:34 three weeks ago. Today, she set a course record at the Hardrock 100 in 26:14:08, for a combined time of 41:43:42. This resets the overall record for this double of 42:12:43 (Jeff Browning, 2016). #HR100

Can you tell I really love talking about Medea?

@sohoplace@sohoplacelondon

"Medea is putting on a facade" 😏 As part of our recent #InternationalWomensDay event, @officialnhaynes reflected on why she believes we can all relate to #Medea. Book now 🎟️ sohoplace.org/whats-on/medea

@TheRealCouckje @PieterCoucke @MelansonFinn @keithdunn I would absolutely love this. Fantastic idea. Too much to have channels out on the course too? Mics where the books are?

English

Quinten Coucke@TheRealCouckje·17 Mar

@PieterCoucke @MelansonFinn Agreed, it needs a unique format. Another idea was, put a mic for 60 hours of audiostreaming at the yellow gate. Just imaging all the people home listening to absolute nothing 99% of 60 hours. And they would still do it. #BM100 @keithdunn

@SageCanaday I’m pretty sure part of the reason the field is small is because of the agreement they have with the park - they have to keep impact on the grounds minimal to help preserve it

@adharanand Good q! I can’t decide whether I want John and Damo to extend their fun Pennine Way feud to racing opposite loops, or bring it in together.

Adharanand Finn@adharanand·16 Mar

If all three finish loop 4 together, does that mean two of them will get to do the final loop together, while the other has to go off the opposite way alone? #bm100 Who has the rule book?

Keith@keithdunn

Albert Herrero Casas, John Kelly @RndmForestRunnr, and Damian Hall finished loop three in 32:03:59, 04:01, 04:03, respectively. #BM100

One runner, after finishing his loop and dropping, cooked an egg burrito while showering. Like, took a camp stove and skillet into the shower, cooked the eggs, etc., and ate the tortilla. In the shower. #BM100

Haringey Tree Protectors@JustPlaneNews·15 Şub

Felling began this week on the Parkland Walk. Nesting season starts early in the climate crisis. When will nature be respected instead of concrete? We are not being listened to, asking for nature and wildlife to be put first. @WoodlandTrust @haringeycouncil @CatherineWest1

There’s a woman camping in the tree and a couple of security guards. I think it would be great if anyone can get down there to support her tomorrow.

Dear @RunComPod, as fellow runners on Parkland Walk, might you be willing to help spread the word? The council are trying to cut down the ancient hairy oak at the Stanhope Road entrance. Protestors are there today to stop it - the more people who go and in support, the better. 🙏

@HamandHigh please get down to Parkland Walk - there’s a protest to stop the unnecessary cutting down of an ancient tree known as Hairy Tree. We urgently need to spread the word, this could happen today or tomorrow.
