Looking for some inspiration for marathon training - a visit to Karl Marx is just the ticket!

Loving a bit of running in freezing Berlin. Trying not to fall over since I forgot my EHIC card!

The Thames from Rotherhithe to Cannon Street at dawn this morning…

Brexit making the headlines.

I know it’s February and it’s England but come on weather do us a favour and cheer up a bit.

London Marathon 2025 - I’m in and running for Sarcoma UK in support of a colleague who’s had a desperate battle for the last 5 years. I’m privileged to team with 100 Sarcoma UK runners with incredible stories of bravery, resilience and, sadly, loss. 2025tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/leslie-ne...

A chilly and wild night out in the Surrey hills - a great annual event.

Ten miles around South London this morning - nippy and beautiful in places like Norwood Park.

Winter sun in Bath.

Winter tyres only in Eryri! (Not my Landy btw)

SNOWdonia being beautiful and challenging at times this morning.

2024, a year we'll never forget 💖💙🌶

On BBC Radio 4 at 0900 on New Year’s Day, there’s a special programme commemorating 100 years of the Shipping Forecast, still produced by the @metoffice.bsky.social on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency

Little jaunt down the Waterlink Way to Beckenham Place Park this morning. Tree in the background mimicking my running form 😤

A Christmas tree at the Blenheim light show.

Super long run - Evenlode valley, Cornbury and Blenheim estates to Woodstock to celebrate the solstice. Weather typically drizzly and windy.

Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind summary by Coauthor.studio: Our focus must be on accelerating grid infrastructure development through clear policy frameworks and innovative implementation approaches. The climate clock is ticking - we need action, not just ambition.

Bought my 14-yr old a nuclear radiation detector for Christmas. Very much looking forward to finding out which of my precious belongings are ‘hot’. Wartime sighting compass and air speed indicator prime suspects…

If there's ever a favour to ask, this is it: Outside journalism I volunteer with a youth club that does amazing things keeping kids out of trouble, despite constant funding cuts. Every donation this week is doubled and if you can give ANYTHING, I'd be so grateful. donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

This festive pub in Aberdeen has a special place in my heart. Sadly didn’t survive COVID but might live again. 🤞

“I want to give a 10 and then one more” - Motsi goes fully Spinal Tap. 🤟

A bit less wind on Sunday for a run up Icomb hill, but -8c with wind chill and the damage has already been done. Fresh!

It’s up - no complaints this year, it’s a really lovely tree. We can still be friends with Norway.

It’s a few weeks old but I still think about that tree in Dulwich Park. No gentle surrender to winter for me.

Catford #parkrun 272 saw 195 finishers it was dull overhead and relatively firm underfoot for late autumn. There were 16 1st timers, with 2 doing their first ever parkrun. As always a massive thank you to the 32 volunteers who made it happen. www.parkrun.org.uk/catford/resu...

Don’t underestimate the problem I have with colleagues that arrange ‘important’ 8am meetings and then reschedule with 30mins notice.

Saying it here and now - I'm going to run 1,000 miles in 2024 - because I really need to pull my finger out!

Slow. Clap.

I notice tourists still persisting with bobble hats in London. You don't need climatereanalyzer.org/clim/t2_dail... to work out the climate is changing, but it does illustrate it pretty graphically.
