A bicycle rickshaw outside the theatre, dropping people off. It is parked next to a red post box in front of the theatre. A black cab can be seen in the background. Lots of London icons here!

Run Forever Available to pre-order from 24 February. Is it inevitable that our running performance slides as we get into our forties and beyond? Or are there things we can do to slow or pause the decline and harn...

If you wish, you can pre-order my next running book from today. It's about how to be the best runner we can be as we age. Thank you! www.adventurebooks.com/collections/...

John Kelly With a week to process Barkley, here are my main thoughts. 1. I'm not going anywhere. I couldn't, even if I wanted to. I have over a decade of running #bm100, but over two centuries of those...

Every time John Kelly writes about running, I want to take off into the woods. Some great reflections as always, a week removed from the Barkley.

I'm excited to follow him at Western States and beyond. Can't believe a Barkley/Spine/Penine Way legend did it all without strength training πŸ˜‚ #bm100

That’s very true all round. I’m dogged by a couple of chronic conditions but equally feel luckily compared with many!

Congratulations on the incredibly strong and positive ways you use your voice. You are a wonderful person and someone I’m proud to call a friend. x

Bloody hell :(

This is despite wearing a mask for the entirety of my shifts and working principally in my own dedicated clinic room. Truly fed up of winter bugs now…
