2 of my fave #parkrun companions ran together for the 1st time at Roberts Park #Saltaire in #Bradford this morning - 1 of these 2 is #running the @mcrmarathonmatch #ManchesterMarathon tomorrow so a leisurely outing this morning was perfect

Nothing touches the soul quite like a beautiful piece of music. I reckon we’ve got a child prodigy here 😲

Your instrument, Andy Wright, #running. Pretty good, huh?

Sub Athens for Manchester, and I’ll be following in Spyridon’s footsteps this Sunday, 128 years and 4 days later. Won’t get anywhere near his time though, sadly.

In 1981, 12 young men in Bradford were arrested for preparing to defend their community from fascists. 4 decades on, I spoke to them about their trial & the solidarity that helped secure their freedom. The Bradford 12 case was a pivotal moment in British legal history.🧵 #Defiance

Seven weeks to (very) early retirement and my fastest #parkrun in a while, just over 22 minutes at Huddersfield parkrun
Not bad for an oldie....

There’s always hope ☪️✡️

Amazing news! The legacy of the three #Bradford girls who shook up the world with their immense talent lives on in their place of birth to inspire the next generation.

Such a beautiful, inspiring, uplifting piece. March of the Day - when football came together and marched 178 miles from #Bradford to Liverpool in aid of the #MND community.

The momentum is building. One day, a cure will be found.

Two weeks to go before Wasim Hussain tackles the #ManchesterMarathon so the taper today was 13.5 miles

I've enjoyed the long runs without the pressure of knowing that the #marathon is here, but absolutely confident he'll smash it

#Spen20 ‘24 was one to remember. Exceeded all expectations with 2 hrs 33 on this tough course in the spring sunshine. Even Strava was impressed! A 3 week taper now for Manchester Marathon. Great to share today with Emer, Helen & Andy Wright, #running who popped by at the end to support us 🙌

The humble tombs of the Venerable Bede, ‘the Father of English History’, and St Cuthbert, Anglo Saxon England’s most revered saint, at either side of the imposing and magnificent Durham Cathedral.

Cathedral 16/42.

Our magnificent magnolia is starting to bloom and looked stunning today against the back drop of a beautiful blue sky and Durham Cathedral

Wishing our Chorister School and Durham School community a peaceful Easter break.

What did I know, what did I know
of loves austere and lonely offices?

This was Bradford’s stadium before kick off with Notts County this evening 😳

Empty stadium and terrible pitch 🏟️

You’ve got to feel for those Bradford fans how can a club that size get ran down so much! 🟠 #bcafc

A brilliant book indeed. It reminds me of a quote from the Dalai Lama:

“Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.”

Exactly 4 weeks to go until Manchester Marathon! I’ve had 3 consecutive 90km weeks, inc weekly long runs of 17, 20 & 15 miles, respectively. Thanks to Andy Wright, #running & Emer for their steadfast company on two of those runs. One more high volume week before the taper. #RoadToManchester24

A solid 15 miles #running yesterday as part of my #notmarathontraining plan with Wasim Hussain, Emer and Helen G, then a solid but slower 3.5 Miles with this little fella #BarneytheCockapoo this morning
#ukrunchat #dogsoftwitter #loverunning #cockapoo

Today we want to echo our three core values that are at the heart of all our activity; to be transparent, transform lives and work together 💜

Don't often say this, but BOOM!

I had to give up my place at the #Spen20 this year so this morning we ran the course, just because we could. 20 tough miles #running but delighted to get it done with Emer and Wasim Hussain
