@sweatystartup This is actually backwards. Most of the benefits for easy runs show up significantly once you start accumulating about 45-60min.

Running more than 5 miles at one time is not healthy.
Lift some weights. Spend some time doing something else.
Massive diminishing returns and I think half the people who do it are addicted to the endorphins.

Don’t know what’s been going on with the @Tesco delivery driver recruitment lately, but they’re top class 👍🏻

@chrisrobwill Hughie Fury will be 43-8 at 26 years old and win a world title belt in 3 years time to the day. Save the tweet.

Crazy discussion in the House of Lords around women’s sport. @Baronessjenkin highlighted a UN study published in August calculated: "By March this year over 600 female athletes in more than 400 events were defeated by trans-identifying males who took a total of 890 medals."

This whole situation has been a farce. Medical results now being questioned. This seems like a pivotal moment for women’s sport.

🚨HAPPENING NOW🚨 The International Boxing Association is holding a press conference in Paris to address the issues surrounding Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting. Dr. Ioannis Filippatos, the former Chair of IBA Medical Committee and an OB/GYN with three decades of experience, has spoken. He has confirmed that neither Lin nor Khelif are biological females, and has slammed the IOC for using passports as a system for determining gender. "Medicine is knowledge, it is not opinion ... One passport can give to us the opportunity to be men, and, tomorrow when I go back to Athens, I can go to my government and change my name from Ioannis to Ionnia. That means I am a woman tomorrow? Please. The nature and the biological world do not change."

@david_biddulph @smithmaestro @LondonPortAuth Teddington to Richmond seal and Kew to Putney seal are different seals.

"Thames swimming race cancelled over sewage fears."
It's been going since 1890 and now it's cancelled.
I'm being serious. Do the boards of @Ofwat and the @EnvAgency have absolutely no self-awareness at all?
It's time for change. It's time to go.

It’s a complete disgrace. There has to be accountability. This is daily. Who is actually listening to this @thameswater @LondonPortAuth @LBC

📽️Footage just sent in of the Thames at Putney this morning‼️🤢 The Thames has been turned into a toxic soup of sewage - courtesy of @thameswater, complete regulatory failure and shameful inaction from government. 📷©@BritishRowing @Feargal_Sharkey @SteveBackshall @jaowallace

River conditions on the Tideway the worst I have seen in over 20yrs. Consist raw sewage every day now.
Boats covered in sewage after training.
Videos are just a small glimpse. Dead wildlife & human sickness incoming. @thameswater @BritishRowing @SteveBackshall @BBCLondonNews

@Eyeswideopen69 Very sad. Terrible. But I don’t believe that this summarises anything.

Brianna Ghey’s father:
“Being a father of a transgender child was a difficult thing to deal with, but even though I grieved the son I lost, I was proud to gain another beautiful daughter.”
And there we have it.
It isn’t difficult to understand.
Nothing to be scared of.

A pleasure to meet @ChrisRobshaw as he collected a cheque from the Royal Oak #westmolesey for his charity @KerslakeRobshaw

Not @FoursHead fault, as their hands are tied by @LondonPortAuth but this was very predictable… Red flag for a few hours then back to yellow 🤦🏼♂️
English
Gutted ☹️
We’ve been monitoring the stream upriver and even on Wed we were OK.
Sorry to all the volunteers, coaches and supporters, but especially the competitors - we know you train to race and giving you a great race is what we are all about. Roll on #2024

RACE CANCELLED 🚨 With great sadness, we have had to take the decision to cancel the 2023 race due to river conditions. Please read more here: fourshead.org/2023/11/04/202…

@vetfourshead @richardphelpsie It’s going to be a long winter if the current river state is deemed red flag!
English
@vetfourshead @richardphelpsie Completely understand that. Just wondering why red flag surge levels are currently reduced by PLA? It’s currently at previous yellow status. Do the PLA need to communicate their updated river status levels or is this something already agreed?
