Attention runners of the far north! I need some advice on footwear for doing a marathon in Arctic Finland next February. Could be -20C with windchill. I’ve never run in much snow before so this is new territory. Advice welcome😀 #running #trailrunning

Bloody hell😱 #ultramarathon training gone wrong: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgrzgpld152o

Race photos have dropped from last weekend's Hoppit. Here's one of the few in which I am not pulling strange faces, have my eyes shut, am grimacing because I badly need a poo, or am otherwise being photobombed by other runners. #HampshireHoppit #trailrunning #marathon #running

Not today Work😀

Ideas please (retoots welcome) for uses for an old iPhone 6. Obviously the iOS is no longer supported but what can I usefully do with the phone?🤷‍♂️. Maybe as a gps device if any of the mapping apps function ok with such old iOS? Or just as an emergency phone when I’m out running? Ideas welcome 😀 @nprofile1q... might have some thoughts for a techy project?

Humbled by all your support for my recent ultramarathon across England. Thanks to you all, and my buddies on the trail, I got the job done. I really recommend the race. The route is beautiful, challenging and the race organisation and care for runners was excellent. It makes me understand just how much fitter @nprofile1q... is than me when he completed it much faster last year in horrific weather. We had near wall to wall sunshine, though also three nights where temperatures dropped as far as -5C🥶

Yesterday was brutal. Bitterly cold start before dawn and straight into a big climb with an exposed summit and a sketchy descent with lots of slipping on the frost. Today….starts before dawn with a big climb🤦🏻 Super tired but basically in reasonable shape otherwise. Not too much running happening though. This is a grind. #NorthernTraverse #ultramarathon #trailrunning

18 miles, 3000 feet of EG in the Black Mountains today with my wife. Perfect conditions for a trail run. Mostly stayed upright😂 Started with a hike up and 10km along Hatterall Ridge following Offa’s Dyke long distance footpath. Spectacular scenery. #running #TrailRunning

I’ve been getting “weight-weenie” on my kit for this weekend’s planned #trailrunning circumnavigation of the Isle of Wight with @npub1e7yu7.... Saved 75g by taking my smaller headtorch, a few grammes trimming 5cm off my toothbrush, and 55g leaving out a stick pack of Tailwind. Promptly added this all back in with a vegan Firepot dehydrated evening meal but at least that’s >500 kCal. Expect final pack weight around 7.2kg including 1 litre of water. Which is heavy😬 #fastpacking #ultrarunning
