The Great Olympic lie: untold story of Winter Games’ huge environmental impact Rivers drained dry to create artificial snow, a forest cut down for the bobsleigh track – IOC’s claims to prioritise sustainability at Milano Cortina exposed

Sustainability is the great lie of the 2026 Winter Olympics.🤥

The word ‘sustainability’ featured over a hundred times in Milan’s bid proposal but these Games were just another example of green lip service in elite sport.🧵

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 😂 #bm100

Some great video & vlog footage over on Instagram from Allie Bailey @ab_runs who is crew & partner of @ultradamo.bsky.social

I’ll let you all have fun watching, spotting and confirming names on the list.

Interview: Damian Hall & the Barkley Marathons III Podcast Episode · Centurion Running Podcast · 17 February · 1 sec

Great pod to listen to on this morning’s run.

My run contained no briars, no fog, no vert, no books, no sleep deprivation, no bare foot running, no nicknames (that I know).

In awe of @ultradamo.bsky.social a the #BM100.

Dartmoor was misty and wild this weekend for our Way of the Runner retreat with Damian Hall, who joined us fresh from scrambling around the infamous Barkley Marathons course just a few days earlier - he still had Barkley mud on his shoes.

1/3 "The most important thing we can do is to make climate breakdown a normal conversation." 🗣️

@ultradamo.bsky.social believes #HowWeSpeakOut is our most powerful tool. It’s about progress, not perfection, and using our collective voice to demand change. 🌍

Oilympics: The Games on Thin Ice - Greenpeace International Fossil fuel companies are greenwashing their image by sponsoring big sporting events to hide their destruction. Don’t let them get away with it.

I just watched a powerful new Greenpeace film exposing how Eni – one of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies – is using the Winter Olympics and Paralympics to greenwash its climate damage. Watch and share the film, and add your name: act.gp/4k1d4CM

🚬Milan has some of the most polluted air in Europe. Yet the Winter Olympics are promoting the same pollution the city is trying to curb with its strict smoking bans.

Please help take the National Emergency Briefing across the country by donating to our People's Emergency Briefing film crowdfunder, if you can.

We are facing an extremely serious threat. There is much we can do, but action will not happen until the public is informed.

Please ask your MP to sign the Parliamentary Call for a televised emergency briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis. #NEB2025
www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

We’ve already reached this weekend's £10,000 match funding target. Thank you for the incredible support!

Donations are still open, and every contribution now goes directly towards completing the People’s Emergency Briefing film and getting it out into communities across the UK.

Your podcast covers so many emerging issues in the UK.

The National Emergency Briefing shows the impact of Climate Change on every aspect of UK society.

Please have an episode with @mikebernerslee.bsky.social

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social unfortunately couldn’t make the National Emergency Briefing.

Would they consider having @mikebernerslee.bsky.social on #Leading?🙏

Mike chaired the NEB and sets out the threats - and the choices ahead - with exceptional clarity.

Thanks to @ultradamo.bsky.social for the photos.

I've never met this woman.

I was going through my downloads and came across these photos again. Such a great way to start off my running year @adharanand.bsky.social . Finished two 50km and one 50mile race. Only one DNF (did half a hundred miler). But this retreat with the highlight @ultradamo.bsky.social

A great podcast episode in which @ultradamo.bsky.social talks all things Three Solo Challenge in which he attempted to complete the big three rounds solo using public transport to get between the rounds.

An epic demonstration of #GreenRunning 💪🏻💚

Good for you @barryglendenning.bsky.social.
