In March 2024, Jasmin Paris made history as the first woman to finish the Barkley Marathons, touching the yellow gate with just 1:39 to spare. "The Finisher" follows her three-year journey, featuring insights from legends like Lazarus Lake, Jared Campbell, Courtney Dauwalter, and more. #bm100

If, like me, you're new to this platform, have you considered joining @thegreenrunners.bsky.social? We have 3,000+ members (including Jasmin, Paris, Kilian Jornet, John Kelly) and none of us are perfect, but we do care. The bigger we are the more we can do. Thank you 💚🙏

Number of loop 1 finishers in under 12 hours: 2025: 6 2024: 20 2023: 30 2022: 28 2021: 12 (covid, US only) 2019: 23 2018: 14 2017: 17 2016: 27 2015: 19 One of these things is not like the other 😬 #BM100

What a despicable human being.

It will be interesting to understand how much sleep deprivation plays a part this year. I imagine a latter start means runners have been awake much longer before starting.

After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but my understanding is for #BM100 to start today the conch must blown within the next 23 minutes.

How We Speak Out is one of our pillars and here’s a way our UK members can use their voice 👇🏻 Please give Stop Rosebank a follow and consider contacting your MP / MSP.

We are excited to announce details of our next Nottingham Local Meet-Up on 29 March. Details in alt-text, including sustainable travel options 🚆 🚍 We can’t wait to see you! 💚

All the Barkley Marathons excitement has me feeling very nostalgic for the single best race experience of my life at the Barkley Fall Classic. It's very sad, but when I watch any footage of runners climbing or descending @ratjaw.bsky.social I think "I've conquered that hill."

Why would anyone willingly choose to spend New Year on the Cam High Road?! 🤯

We are in it for the long run. 💚 this article. If you want to know more about who we are and what we do then stop scrolling and click on the link 🔗 Thank you 🙏🏻 Advnture. www.advnture.com/features/gre...

This really quite poor England team is being made to look like world beaters by a dreadfully poor Wales team. It's so sad to see a mighty rugby nation fall so dramatically from grace. #6Nations2025

Today, over 400 Olympians joined the call for a high-carbon advertising ban. 👏 In a show of unprecedented climate leadership, athletes called on the incoming IOC President to "set a standard" that would eliminate polluting sponsors from the Olympics. 👇

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”. The man is a fraud.

When I'm not running silly distances, I teach people to dispatch, operate, and drive trains. Today, I met with fellow L&D colleagues from across the rail industry to share best practice. The venue at the Steam Museum for the Great Western Railway wasn't too shabby.

The Mango Mussolini's tarrifs on Canada should give him something to chat about when he meets their monarch.

What would a trauma-informed analysis of the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting look like? I think it would pay attention to body language. It would consider what was happening biologically. Here's my THREAD tracking changes over the 50 mins. Here's the link I'm working with: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEOv...

So very saddened to hear that another good person has died. Tim McKenna @timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social died in January. I only encountered Tim in the last couple of years or so. His cycling trips were an inspiration. I will miss his photos of places and bikes and food.

Disgraceful reporting from BBC News suggesting President Zelensky had antagonised and disrespected the Donald and his stooge. They treated a man who has shown real leadership of his country with utter contempt. Shame on the BBC for pandering to the far right fascists.

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

9 years ago 😱 running the Trent Meadows course of the East Midlands XC league. That course was basically 5 miles of calf deep river water. Great fun!

Sportswashing really grinds our gears 😡 Great to see Action FC calling out FIFA’s sponsorship agreement with Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil company Aramco ⚽️ 🛢️ Aramco is one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel producers. Its impact on the environment is huge🔥 Please take a look at their petition.

If you live in Oxford you can take adult (& kids!) bikes which are in decent condition to @asylumwelcome.bsky.social on Magdalen Rd and their Sanctuary Wheels project will make sure they go to refugees who need them.

@raynorwinn.bsky.social has done it again. What an utterly inspiring adventure. Just brilliant! #Landlines

A cold dry morning for this month's Green Runners Nottingham meet-up. Caren, Jon, Matt J, Meagan, Matt N & Kev enjoyed a run at Colwick parkrun. 🏃‍♀️ They travelled to Colwick by running, cycling, or train. 🚲🚆 Post run they picked litter before warming up with coffee. ☕️ #LocalMeetUp #HowWeTravel

@oli-hague.bsky.social Your hospitality gets a 5 star review.

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

In the afternoon, we snooze 💤

Home after a morning watching the boy Bowen play football. The sidelines of sports pitches are officially the coldest places on earth.❄️ In a bid to warm up the parents went on a half time hot drink run. Some interesting cake options available in the café.

Great to see @melcoate.bsky.social & @superkev79.bsky.social rocking their Green Runners badge out in the wilds of Nottinghamshire.

If you live in the UK you may be outraged by the proposal to expand Heathrow Airport & frustrated by the drive for growth at the expense of the climate & our futures. ✈️❌ Why not let your MP know how you feel #HowWeSpeakOut. 📣 @wearepossible.bsky.social have made this easy for you!
