Football as a form of entertainment is much better without VAR, but as a business and a personal passion, you want to get (most of) the decisions right. DR Worcs. #BBCFootball

@stravasupport is there an issue with athlete search? It seems to have disappeared from my dashboard. #strava

It's a sad indictment of @SkySportsNews that Taylor Swift gets more airtime than the late Kelvin Kiptum #RIP #athleticsisasport #marathon #legend

Where is van der Maxwell when you need him?#bbccricket Doug

Can we just go back to 45 min of fast-flowing action and if the ref makes a mistake, then we can all have a good moan after. The forensic analysis of every single action is killing Premier League football as a spectator sport. Doug. #BBCFootball

@UKRunChat @irongirl41 Thanks all #ukrunchat

[Dr Doug Richards @drichards48]

@irongirl41 @UKRunChat For me a DNS is worse. I just feel really guilty afterwards and wish I had been stronger mentally #ukrunchat

[Dr Doug Richards @drichards48]

@irongirl41 @UKRunChat I've been very lucky over the years with injuries so have struggled to cope with the latest setback. Initially tried to rush back too quick but now listening to the wise words of my physio and, finally, making some progress #ukrunchat

[Dr Doug Richards @drichards48]

@irongirl41 @UKRunChat I have three local 10k races earmarked for later in the year #ukrunchat

[Dr Doug Richards @drichards48]

@irongirl41 @UKRunChat Not great so far with injury/health issues but the good thing is that it can only get better!! #ukrunchat

[Dr Doug Richards @drichards48]

@UKRunChat @irongirl41 Yes, the last week has been a bit hectic, but all good. Have already had to order some more !! #ukrunchat
