22 minutes dead (in both senses!) at Horton @parkrunUK in #Bradford this morning on the hilly course with almost no shade. Sometimes I ask myself, why!!? @roberttownruns @WasimHu07846812 #loveparkrun #parkrun

Set out to run 17 miles this morning but common sense intervened about 14 miles in and, as I had nowhere else to be today, I took the smart decision to walk a mile before #running the rest of the way home. 17 miles is 17 miles!!

Out early this morning before the heatwave, #running a sub 2 hour half marathon before breakfast (it was still about 24c) #loverunning #alwaysmarathontraining

Great first morning of my holibobs in the #ScottishBorders #running @LochendPark #parkrun in 22:32, tricky technical course, great volunteers, thanks for making me and #BarneytheCockapoo very welcome! @parkrunUK #loveparkrun

Tough session this morning, #running 14 miles on the back of yesterdays flat out #parkrun, covered some of the #Spen20 route in reverse #loverunning #notmarathontraining

Absolutely bust a gut to try for sub 21 today at @Huddsparkrun #parkrun, was position 44 out of 906, but cruelly my official time was 21:00 despite only being 25 secs behind the 20 min pacer! Still, decent effort from an old guy in the heat! #loveparkrun @parkrunUK #running

Absolutely glorious day to go #running early doors, a nice 11 miles took my weekly total beyond 30. Plus, we did some dot watching, following our friend Emer completing the @CTMarathon #CapeTownMarathon in a fantastic 4:09 😀👏

Placed 51 @Huddsparkrun this morning (#running 21:14) out of 800+, first time out for my £12 (yes £12!!) @shoptemu fake @Nike #alphafly shoes, never had bouncy cheat shoes before! I'll be trying them again next week @parkrunUK #parkrun #loveparkrun #loverunning

First significant post @LondonMarathon run, pleased to support my legendary #running buddy Emer Dudley today before she represents #TeamGB in her age category at the @CTMarathon #CapetownMarathon next weekend. #loverunning #ukrunchat @UKRunChat

Using that @LondonMarathon training block fitness to #run my fastest #parkrun for a long time, 21:23 at @Huddsparkrun, resplendent in my #LondonMarathon shirt! #loveparkrun @parkrunUK #ukrunchat #loverunning

I wrote a #blog post about my fantastic @LondonMarathon #LondonMarathon experience #loverunning #ukrunchat #runchat #running ifyoucloseyoureyes.com/post/…

After 15 years of rejections I finally (via my beloved #running club) got to take on the @LondonMarathon ❤️ #LondonMarathon #loverunning #ukrunchat @roberttownruns

Wow. @LondonMarathon #LondonMarathon was just amazing, just the best #running experience ever. Time wasn't important anything occasion, it was all about the vibe #loverunning

Right #LondonMarathon let's go!!! @LondonMarathon #wave6

Looking forward to this #LondonMarathon 😀 @LondonMarathon #loverunning #running #ukrunchat @roberttownruns

Last significant run before the @LondonMarathon, delighted with 14 miles at around 4 hour #marathon pace, I even tried to emulate my race day routine by getting up, eating, and #running at the same times I will next weekend! 😀 #ukrunchat #LondonMarathon #marathontraining

Last run of the week, and the last of four 40 mile weeks, now tapering for @LondonMarathon 14 days to go, never felt more ready after a #marathontraining block. It'll be my 10th #marathon but my first #LondonMarathon #loverunning #London #running @roberttownruns

Counting down the days to @LondonMarathon and grinding out the miles, #running 9 this morning at just under planned #marathon pace with another 10km planned this evening with @roberttownruns #LondonMarathon #marathontraining #loverunning #18daystogo

Like 1,000's of others this weekend, it's the last, toughest and longest #marathontraining run. 22.5 miles with a negative split, after 8 miles the previous day. Delighted with the effort, @LondonMarathon should be a breeze after the last 3 weeks!! #running #loverunning
