@stevemagness In a bio of Seb Coe, I remember him having said that he quite looked forward to races, because they weren’t as tough as some of his training sessions. And there was no social media back then… 🤔

@AthleticsWeekly I think that if someone had said when Steve Jones ran 2:08 in Chicago that in 40 years from that point a female athlete would be within 2 minutes of his finishing time, they’d think you were talking science fiction?? @Jason_AW

@AndyBurnhamGM @IanTowler @BeeNetwork But the London cap in itself is too high. The New York system is capped at equivalent to £26 for 7 days

Dear #aleveleconomics teachers. Obviously a lot of play on words in hair salon sector, but this place in North London truly is “a cut above”!! You can borrow this when doing monopolistic competition…

#aleveleconomics I’m sure I can make something out of this when looking at the division of labour, specialisation & productivity!! #incredible

@Jason_AW Yes, if I was a younger me at Loughborough today, I would probably have pictures of Ingebrigtsen on my wall. 3:54 mile pace for that 3k!!

Classic example of #aleveleconomics price discrimination at the Carrefour in the 🚂 Gare du Nord in Paris. Three bottles of Evian. 50cl = €1.50, 1L = €1.99 & 1.5L = €0.82
