I'm running a half-marathon Help Barry Glendenning raise money to support Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity

Boring Running News: I ran my first proper 5km today in 37min. A mere 24m (plus change) off WR pace. Keep an eye on your rear-view mirror, Joshua Cheptegei!

It's going well. It was a fine performance this evening but you could have saved yourself a lot of time by typing "11th" instead of "just three points off fourth place".

@23carra.bsky.social Please ask your MNF guest Roberto Martinez why he keeps picking Cristiano Ronaldo when his presence in the Portugal side is clearly detrimental to their chances of winning next year's World Cup.

Absolutely delighted to be at @jonawils.bsky.social's book launch in Balham, making a long mental note of all his lazy journo bias mates who could not be bothered to turn up on his big night.
