My Mount to Coast shoes are still in excellent shape after at least 500 to 600 miles

‘There’s no finish line on being creative’: How running inspired Harry Styles to write epics like ‘Aperture’ Clocking miles is the secret to great tunes, it seems – and the science linking running and creativity proves it

To celebrate securing an exclusive conversation on running, life and art between Harry Styles and Haruki Murakami, Runner's World magazine have resurrected an article I wrote for them in 2024 about the relationship between running and creativity www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/...

This is getting silly - another athlete plans to take the Enhanced Games money but NOT take drugs - or so he says. Are the Enhanced Games really cool with that? I can see the money is tempting for the athletes, but it doesn't seem the smartest career choice if you're not doping

Melania Trump is chairing a UN Security Council meeting.

I'm not joking.

The US currently holds the presidency of the council and that's who Trump chose as chair.

A stroll in the park(run) My first hard run of the year and the only thing I could be sure of was that I'd have a moment of panic at some point

Pretty happy to run my fastest ever parkrun this morning, and my fastest 5K in 11 years … 17:46

This just about sums up the (ridiculous) reaction of the Tories and Reform (and the Sun, Telegraph, Mail etc) to the Green party's victory in the Gorton and Denton by election ...

Vegetarians have ‘substantially lower risk’ of five types of cancer Study shows lower risk for multiple myeloma as well as pancreatic, prostate, breast and kidney cancers

They repeatedly try to catch him out ... and repeatedly fail

Waking up to some good news for a change is a nice feeling. There is still some hope, some humanity out there …

They didn't have these "run stations" when I was last in Japan, but they sound cool, and I imagine really make exploring Tokyo on the run much more feasible ...

We’ll be back soon for sure, but for now we have our Run Across Dartmoor in a Day in May, our Chamonix retreat in September, and our South-West Coast Path adventure in November. Check out thewayoftherunner.com for more details or to sign up.

Go the extra mile: how to cut costs if you’re running a marathon

Amazing effort @ultradamo.bsky.social … sounds like it was an even tougher challenge than ever this year. Which is saying something. For the 26th time in 40 years there are no finishers!

He'll have some ice-fresh stories to tell ... assuming he's still alive #BM100

So Damian Hall is doing a retreat with me on Dartmoor starting this coming Friday. Then I see this ...
