New Year’s Day saw my Fell Race debut (jury still out on if there will be a repeat appearance). 400m of ascent was plenty for me to be getting on with. Hope I am able to overcome the other challenges that 2026 will offer is similarly good spirits.

Another year another Round the Walls completed. Only 1 missed in 24 years (2004) beginning to feel like a tradition! 🤣

My weekend in two T-shirts. Mixing the pleasure of welcome new @DerbyUni students and racing in the British Masters T&T champs.

My first British Masters Pentathlon Champs. Pleased to have finished 7th overall and to have racked up a number of age-group PBs. Roll-on the T&F champs in 2 weeks.

I seem to have done a thing today. Next stop British Masters Pentathlon in two week (where I do not anticipate and such prizes).

Proud coach but prouder parent moment. Both daughters making it to the England Senior Athletics champs. Elder running a cracking 400m and younger coming away with gold in the U23 100m (Silver in the Senior).

No better way to spend the summer solstice than welcoming guests to our @DerbyUni Open Day at in inspirational Markeaton Street campus.

Fantastic to be able to celebrate the successes of our amazing #BLCFE2025 students tonight in Buxton.

Excited to be making my @DerbyBookFest debut today, interviewing Paul Sinton-Hewitt the man behind @parkrunUK. Whilst nervous about my first appearance I know I will be safe with the parkrun community who make everyone feel welcome.

After BUCS last weekend, the last two days have been Cheshire County Champs. Officiating, competing and more ‘dad’ing.

[Neil Fowler @NeilFowler23]

Few more years ago to get back to my appearances in the steeplechase.

[Neil Fowler @NeilFowler23]

May Bank Holiday can only mean BUCS outdoor athletics championships. Three days of coaching, ‘dad’ing and supporting the @DerbyUni students taking part.

[Neil Fowler @NeilFowler23]

Excited to have ‘dad’ interest in this morning’s 100m final.

An enjoyable jaunt around the streets of Derby yesterday in the @DCCTOfficial 10k. Hopefully lots of money raised to support their work across the city.
