In fairness, this is me at the start of most of my races #RaceFace #BattleFever https://t.co/j7FemE1Uc7

I see what you're doing wrong: you're putting the same foot in front of the other each time. Try alternating them. #RunClinic

Sometimes I'm also asked about my 'running technique'. "One foot in front of the other (repeat to finish line)" is mine: what's yours?

Stuck in my head on my long run this morning... #NewMoonOnMonday #FriedEggsThroughTheNight https://t.co/pwO24DRMBt

I may have got a medal and a PB, but the REAL marathon was the friends I made along the way.

I mean it: they were a total drag and a pain.

Probably one of those fads you see in Runners World every month, like barefoot running and chia seeds and taking a shower.

Our coach is always showing off with fancy "innovative" ideas. The latest thing is that slow and steady does *not* win the race. 😏

A great day of pacing and I had a Mickey Mouse balloon too, all at today's @terenure5mile https://t.co/AH4KCgQCEp

@NinaCarinaD Well done! When I got back to the hall I was wondering where all the biscuits had gone! @terenure5mile

[Run and Jump @RunandJumpBlog]

@cblacque @terenure5mile No worries. Come early to avoid the last-minute rush, and enjoy your run.

[Run and Jump @RunandJumpBlog]

@cblacque @terenure5mile Come to race HQ tomorrow morning to swap it.

@NinaCarinaD The no-nonsense attitude of someone gunning for a PB. I like it. #EyesOnThePrize @terenure5mile

I'll be one of the sub-55 pacers at @terenure5mile this Sunday. If you'll be with our pace group or just see us, say hello.

@killianbyrne I was dishing out the medium tops: lots of fittings and trying-on and even phone a friend! @terenure5mile

[Run and Jump @RunandJumpBlog]

@killianbyrne Good to hear: I was giving out the finisher tops out the back, I hope you chose well! @terenure5mile
