@centre_right_ Just re read my message, wow my grammar is shocking! But in all honesty I’m gutted Andy, I moved back to the town and have invested a lot of time, effort and money and see it falling behind other similar areas with every year that passes. Such a shame.

@centre_right_ Should a shame this a missed opportunity yet more shortsighted views in Middlesbrough

@ASNLondon Thanks for helping with the feedback I must admit I’m 50/50 about completing the admin myself it’s only to renew!

[Chris Tomlinson OLY @LongJumpChris]

Judging by my last post on the lengthy and time consuming process it takes to renew your Athletics coaching badge I hope somebody in England athletics picks this up and starts to address this as I clearly am not on my own.

[Chris Tomlinson OLY @LongJumpChris]

Trying to renew my coaching license with England Athletics, they want me to resit another course + full DBS (ok fine) the process is taking weeks. We clearly don’t have enough coaches in the sport and like myself choosing to volunteer my time for free surely will put people off.

For 20yrs I ate,slept and breathed athletics and appreciate everything it gave me. Today will be the first time since 2017 I’ve been in a big athletics stadium #emotional

[Chris Tomlinson OLY @LongJumpChris]

@jaredmdeacon Well that’s one way of looking at it I guess 🤦‍♂️

Update on my relay run…
I managed to tear my left groin after 20m and my right after 40m I still finished and felt like I was towing a caravan. We finished third and I over took a 11yr old that boosted my ego!

@KatharineMerry It’s quite depressing isn’t it 🤣

[Chris Tomlinson OLY @LongJumpChris]
