The @WomensSport article about my experience with disordered eating at the University of Oregon is now online, link in my bio.

If every country took this approach you'd struggle to get athletes filling the quotas for each event. You wouldn't need heats anymore. I bet some years you'd have straight finals

[Dai Greene @DaiGreene]

1/ The @BritAthletics policy of only taking medalists and top 8 athletes is going to hinder not only an athletes development but also their chance to become full time athletes. I know that their policy standard (for a lot of events) is based on the IAAF standard.

@StephenLondonUK @mattelias400h @jackrbuckner Athletes need a union, our hands are tied and there’s no room for debate

[Phily Bowden @philybowden]

@seddon89x And this is the legacy of the London Games they’re championing

[Eilish McColgan @EilishMccolgan]

World Athletics should allow athletes to run under their flag if a federation turns down their invite...

Otherwise, what's the point in having a ranking system if only SOME federations accept it!?

ICYMI, @philybowden and @AnyaCulling produced some fantastic performances at the Copenhagen Marathon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Bowden finished third in the elite women's race and took over five minutes off her PB to clock 2:29:16 🔥

Culling was eighth with an amazing 2:34:45 💥

Thinking of switching to switching sports.. too late to get into the @WNBA ? 🏀

@OTESportsGB Thanks for helping fuel me!!

[OTE Sports @OTESportsGB]

Ever wondered what a professional runner eats in a day while training for a marathon?

We highly recommend this video by @philybowden . Find out what she eats during her long run and what she has for meals. And most importantly, why!

1/ I don't understand the thought process of this. He should know World Athletics and British Athletics raised their standards a couple of years ago. It's already harder than it's ever been to make a team. Less athletes representing Britain at majors doesn't help the sport grow.

[$€DDØÑ @seddon89x]

LOL. British champs might actually be non existent in a few years. For athletes outside selection where is the motivation to go to a very dull British champs where athletes who have already been selected won’t even compete. British indoors was a prime example of this.

@rob_calgary @YouTube Aha, thanks Rob!

@Readingparkrun @parkrunUK @parkrun @TVParkReading Contrary to @DanielLeadbitt1 face in the thumbnail.. we had a great time - thanks for putting on the parkrun every week! 👻

[Reading parkrun @Readingparkrun]

Was it our imagination or was there really a pumpkin and a ghost running around at @Readingparkrun last week?

Well yes, find out the full story from local athlete Philly Bowden here: https://t.co/2LmmXKSVUC

‼️Females in Sport‼️
Twitter friends, has anyone come across or had anyone provide a workshop to young girls around the topic of “playing sports around your period”? Would be very interested if anyone has any info.

If you can RETWEET that would be great! 😁

@seddon89x Womens Euros ⚽️
Wimbledon
Road Cycling world championships

3 that were free to watch on BBC very recently, how many people were inspired by those performances that can’t afford to see what’s behind a paywall? 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Phily Bowden @philybowden]

@runningelliot @MikeSalt2 @EliudKipchoge Agreed, it dipped in and out a lot, and the one I saw was 40 minutes behind live time so I saw the results early which spoiled the moment

[Phily Bowden @philybowden]

Trying to watch @EliudKipchoge on his way to a world record in Berlin, with no free option to watch it anywhere without a VPN subscription, or paying £30 a month for flotrack. And people wonder why our sport isn’t where it used to be 🙃

[Phily Bowden @philybowden]

@Matthones1 @EliudKipchoge I saw about 20 mins of it for free on YouTube, broken up and about 40 minutes behind the live schedule

[Phily Bowden @philybowden]

@aathorner @EliudKipchoge @FloTrack @runnerspace It’s incredibly expensive though, and like you say, quite a lot of US/NCAA races which to be honest I wouldn’t watch much of! Shame to have to pay so much for the major races, a WR attempt is such a moment in history.. surely they want more people to see that
