Happy Friday Blue-Skiers. 💙 First post since landing yesterday & making the slow migration over. A TV/unscripted documentaries bod with a broad church of interests but I also like to post about #running #parkrun #ukrunchat #runchat #runner

What does a train load of hobbling, hungry runners post Nice to Cannes marathon not need on the way home?
Their train to break down that's what...! 😩😩

Finished Nice to Cannes Marathon 🇫🇷! Beautiful course. I was on form up to 30k hitting pace & then they decide the throw in the hills + the heat 🥵. No PB but a respectable 03:44:22 🧡 #NiceCannesMarathon #raceday #running

Bonjour Nice - here we are finally. The training has been long, and hard but I hope to see you soon Cannes! 🇫🇷 #NiceCannesMarathon #raceday #marathon #running

It's midday in France & so far I've had two poached eggs on a bagel, one omlette, one coffee, lot of water and then these bad boys.... carb loading pre-marathon. What's not to love?! 🤩 #NiceCannesMarathon #running #ukrunchat

Hmm. Well. My Paris marathon in April was my first ever marathon at 3:42:08...so anything under that would be amazing.

Emma Goddard @goddardem.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks Ben, fingers crossed. Been doing the strength/loading physio exercises but will see ...nice route though so hoping I'll have some distraction! 🤞

The day before the big one. 5k shakeout run done and dusted. Time to pray my hamstrings play ball tomorrow... 🏃🏻‍♀️🙏 #NiceCannesMarathon #running #ukrunchat #marathon

Missed the weather window yesterday & so intervals session was pushed to this morning before the 40mph winds set in again! Nice run though 5 x 5mins @HM pace. Finally feel like my form is coming back just in time for Nice-Cannes marathon Nov 9th...😬🤩🏃🏻‍♀️ #running #marathon #ukrunchat #training

Whilst US tech bros like Nvidia visit with Trump to push AI infrastructure into the UK - little consideration or mention of their massive draining data centres expanding ever outwards & the effect on an already overheated world...the climate is now so far down the pecking order, it's frightening.

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’

Broadcaster to dedicate Wednesday night schedule to unpicking US president’s false or misleading statements More than 100 of Donald Trump’s inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in what it described as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”. The US president is expected to arrive in the UK on Tuesday night. He will enjoy a huge amount of special treatment as ministers attempt to preserve the special relationship, including a ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle for Trump and his wife, Melania.

A big well done!🤩

To those with dormant accounts still on Twitter/X - with Musk supporting and generally stirring up things at yesterday's far-right march, I'd say now is a good time to deactivate and delete forever...

Brilliant piece by Ian Dunt ...👇

..."Outside the station were the fascists. A small army of them, nearly every one holding a flag they do not understand and a symbol they do not deserve to stand under. A great swell of entitlement, and hatred, and cultivated victimhood"

Ian Dunt @iandunt.bsky.social · Sep 14

The far-right is in its pomp. We will have to fight for our values like never before.

The actual group moving most strongly to Reform are male Gen X-ers. We need more articles on how to deal with them.

Duncan Robinson @duncanrobinson.bsky.social · Sep 14

Shot, chaser

Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

Yes, extraordinary... I am still astounded by nearly 900 peaceful protesters arrested last week and how many arrests yesterday in Tommy R's hate filled protest... 24. What message does it send?

Emma Goddard @goddardem.bsky.social · Sep 9

It was not enjoyable. If any consolation I was way off any PB... still that is why we race, right?! 🤪

Powerful new Banksy mural on the Royal Courts of Justice building shows a judge hitting a protester lying on the ground with his gavel, with blood splattering the placard.

Thank you... I'm still in recovery mode! Hope you had a good race!

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer.
This thread explains why.
1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power.
