Had a fabulous time at the Highland Fling. The weather the was relentless, the last mile endless, but that haggis at the end... https://t.co/0ZzBbNXYuk

@RunPrimal @centurionrunner Great work Carl!

If we take such dire pains, it is not for the result but because that is the only way to keep going on this wretched planet. [24.5.66]

@davidshortridge Thanks!

@RunPrimal Great work Carl!

Wow. Just wow. You'd get less for... well, something that actually hurt someone or did some damage https://t.co/0dU2R9mXzU

@katehelencarter I'm too forgiving!

Yesterday on Primrose Hill: someone apparently VLOGGING while doing a hill rep. Park rangers should ban such behaviour. The worst thing: he was overtaking me at the time. (He did only do 3 reps though.)

@Fly_Norwegian Look, I'm sure you're aware of your own failings, but PLEASE, if the 19:15 from JFK to Gatwick is going to be cancelled, tell us NOW, not at 2am. Already an hour delayed. Where's the plane? Does it exist? Can't do another night on the floor.

[Sam Humphrey @SamRunsLDN]

@Fly_Norwegian Was this tweet and my direct message hours ago not worth responding to? I can honestly say I've never spend a more unpleasant 24 hours. I haven't slept. No hotel. No communication at all. And now I just have to hope the 19:15 to Gatwick isn't another lie.

[Sam Humphrey @SamRunsLDN]

@Fly_Norwegian I have received no response to my message. In any case, can you please confirm whether there will actually be a flight at 19:15 to Gatwick? There aren't any Norwegian staff at the airport, which is weird to say the least. Chaos reigns here - and noone is around to sort it out.

[Sam Humphrey @SamRunsLDN]

@Fly_Norwegian I've now been in JFK for over 12 hours. My 23:00 flight was rescheduled for 16:00, then rescheduled again for 19:15. No hotel. Zero communication. Cold floor to sleep on. And seemingly noone from Norwegian in sight. You do have staff, don't you?
