@Scienceofsport Thanks for this! I'm not across timing of altitiude exposure literature so when MSM started talking about the challenges, my first thought was 'I wonder what Ross Tucker has to say on this' 😂 open up X and this pops up perfectly

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@zbitter I wonder how long it takes before a brand takes a, say, 2.03 marathoner and sells the idea of trying to break new ground in ultras? Probably talking 100km road before crazy races like this though!

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@woman4444 @mara_yamauchi Ok... so what I want to know is how you feel parkrun should handle this? This is not something that can be policed from HQ on the day. So you want local volunteers to confirm biological sex? It will kill the public health benefits for all as parkruns would close

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@woman4444 @mara_yamauchi Given that it's not a race, in what way does it affect women? And how frequently?
I am 110% behind protecting the female category in sport, but this is more about public health than performance. Nobody wins or loses anything

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@SheTheDee1971 @StevoLaughton @_ConnieShaw Because people are trying their best? These two people likely shook hands and enjoyed the 'mini battle' Do better

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@JossJo_1989 @NotThatHughes Nobody loses anything when there is nothing to lose! You get your own time. You feel proud and you go crab a coffee without giving a crap where you finished overall

@SophRiver @BrawnJourno @WingsScotland The times of the individual, not of others!

[Steph Brawn @BrawnJourno]

As a weekly parkrunner, I could not careless about a trans person running with me. It is not a competitive event, it is a way of getting people out every Saturday morning to be active in an inclusive environment.

This is just bonkers.

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@MarkJohnsonTw @eoine_oc @benbloomsport And winning what exactly?

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@sharrond62 @jwhitey98 Nobody is stealing anything from anyone at parkrun! Nobody has anything that can be lost - just their own sense of achievement.
Please reconsider your stance on this as it's damaging the more important message around protecting the biological female category in ELITE sport.

@be_gdh @ProfTimNoakes That ship sailed, returned, reloaded and sailed again many years ago 😂

@AlistairHaimes @ProfTimNoakes Korir out there running 2.50s whilst chewing on High5 and Gu gels 😂

@EvanDunfee If you can walk that fast, would Nike welcome you? Or tolerate you? 😁

They’re putting numbers on the arms of Palestinians. Remind you of anything?

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@Martina @SusanAn46750383 The timeframe makes it worse! It simply highlights to those that this aggression started on Oct 7th, that there is a long history of senseless racist murders in the region

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@StephenSeiler Cam is clearly 'gifted', but on top of that he is very mature both physically and emotionally. He's 100% bought into his training as he has arugably been driving the approach even more than his coach! Once you see how he carries himself, his performances don't shock me.

🚨🇬🇧 BREAKING: British surgeon gives HORRIFYING testimony to the UK Parliament.

He describes how IDF drones arrive right after airstrikes in Gaza, targeting and shooting the injured, including children, right on the spot.

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

@Obstrepero21153 @fansvfavourites @AthleticsImages @AthleticsWeekly Whilst I don't disagree with the decision, it's important to remember that athletes with DSD are not cheating. They have not taken anything and sadly do not fit neatly into either sex category. I really feel for them, but it clearly gives them a physical advantage in female races

[Mark Windsor @markrunsaround]

The courage of people like this 🙌

[Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve]

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba

I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film

As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes

It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.

But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken
