Fire tower and the conditions the runners are dealing with.

Freezing fog and the bone chilling cold these conditions create.

The high moisture content and cold conditions wick away and pretence of warmth from even the best gear

After watching all day the issue is simple: the runners have to go faster than one mile an hour. #BM100

The 2026 Barkley Marathons began with one of the strongest fields ever. The starting field came from 15 Counties as well as 15 States, and included ten women. The course seemed not to care. Over 70% of the field is done. #BM100

Happy Keith Weekend everyone. Also, some fools are running around in the woods for no apparent reason.

Here we go again. Bluesky deciding what users want to see and filtering "liberal" content.

Is there really no chance of a nice social network not run by wankers??

The hallowed "good" race photo, that most elusive of beasts.

Eric has some skill with the camera, made me look like I was an actual runner!

Lovely and weird to briefly be the poster boy for a winter ultra. Highly recommend the Goat if you're up for a challenge.

On today's run I did a sub 4 minute kilometre.

Hardly Bannister, but not too shabby considering.

The last 200m was a grim hang on, blowing out my arse. Seconds really do stretch when you're in the red.

I'm in the Lakeland 100 2026!!

Ballot was entered on my birthday so it's definitely a nice nod from the universe.

First summer ultra in 6 or 7 years too, can't wait.

Who's done it? Any tips?

Anywhere that's wild, pathless and boggy. Something distinctly wrong with me.

Really wish more people in the UK would realise this.

Alas, the structure of our energy market means we are forced to pay the highest daily strike price.

Market reform is urgently needed, and very much achievable for the government.

Contact your MP and demand change!

Last night Anna Troup won the ladies race of Race Across Scotland, finishing 4th overall.

This after outright winning the summer Spine Race in June.

After nearly 3 years out with injury.

Oh, and she's 55 for anyone thinking age makes the slightest difference in ultra events.

Inspirational!

Equally as extraordinary that several others read that bollocks and then published it.

It's the kind of piece you'd expect from the Mail or Sun.

It most likely won't get much recognition, maybe a podcast or 2 but that isn't really Dan's thing.

It's unreal, he took more than 18 hours off Dave Phillips time. Can't quite wrap my head around it.

Yesterday Dan Lawson set a new record for the South West Coast Path.

You may not have heard much about his attempt because he's a low key kinda guy.

630 miles.
Over 35,000 metres of elevation gain.
Blistering heat.
Under 10 days.

Simply incredible.

Hugely impressed by England's test series victory in Argentina. Away from home against a top side, several of our best players with the Lions.

A few lads have possession of those shirts now & should be trusted with them for the Autumn Internationals

Thoughts @squidgerugby.bsky.social ?

Are we approaching the edge of human potential in the Backyard Ultras? Phil Gore can, it seems, run forever.

Wrote a little piece about Backyard Ultras.

Weirdly not surprised to see this article today.

Something has always felt off about the Winns and their stories.

Looking like either Caleb or Chris will be pushing for the win now they've built a steady lead, such a long way still to go so it could easily change.

Kilian though......❀️
