@Strickomaster leadership, being an actual leader outside of education prior to joining teaching, was far better prep for headship than sitting in a room doing an NPQ has ever been. Also, I did that and then also “served the time” before school leadership.

@Strickomaster Good point. Can’t say I disagree with this - is it really that common by the way, I don’t get the feeling it is but I’m just coming at this from a Primary perspective, not in the loop with Secondary. What I was trying to say, is that I have found that in terms of preparation fo

@Strickomaster 100% agree on this - but I don’t see why someone with a bank of other sector experience couldn’t make that progression quicker than you’ve suggested. I’m not suggesting you’re not correct in leadership having credibility, just intrigued why the 5/6 year time seems to be an issue?

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@Strickomaster Really? Leadership is leadership surely? How different is leading a team in a school to leading a team in a business? Customers, staff, stakeholders- from my experience, stepping out of education to experience life outside of the “institution” can be a huge asset.

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@Strickomaster What was your experience prior to education? I’m more concerned about the lack of experience outside of education that the vast amount of senior leaders have?

@FloTrack @EliudKipchoge Why no commentary on your live broadcast?

@mk_marathon Thanks

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

Hi @mk_marathon - I’m unable to get to the MK runner to collect my race number this week - what time will the desk be open on race day to collect, I can’t seem to find this in the marathon guide? Thanks

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@KeefJohnstone @mk_marathon Hi, how would you describe the MK marathon having run it before, one to realistically aim for a PB? Thanks 👍🏻

Having to explain to your son every day that #Godzilla probably won’t turn up at #Tokyo2020 even though he “lives in Japan” 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

@cockram_natasha @UKRunChat I’ve gone with the rule of “until I can see the carbon plate” with these- gotta get the 💴 worth! 😬

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@MissL_Y6 Got to agree with the “on the floor” crew...

You do end up with another issue though...
kicking the bloody things over (and half of the time it’s me!!) 😡🤣🙈 watch out for the metal ones- weigh a tonne!!!!

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@hcarruthers26 Really enjoyed this 👍🏻😃🏃🏻‍♂️

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@brassoteach For what it’s worth, I think it depends on the pace that you run... I tend to go to 24 miles in a marathon build but would run that in around 2:50-55, regardless of distance, if you go over 3 hours in training you’re seriously fatigued and don’t get any real training benefit...👍🏻

@deputygrocott The Dictionary Game : never had a class not love it!!

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@Nicola_M_N_ @timbrog Awesome work, actually the next piece of work on my long to do list!! If I could steal your questions that would be amazing? 😬

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@timoftheyard Wouldn’t bother... it’s shocking!!

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@AthleticsWeekly How can you tell... I can’t see anything 🤣

[James Cassidy @jamescass49]

@GoCiaran @TeamTotal_ATH What impact do you feel the spikes have on that, is it the same type of thing with pulling up better after using the Vaporfly? Cheers
