I started learning bass guitar this year and I’ve done exactly what I did with guitar 20 odd years ago. Got to an ok level where I can play some stuff and stopped learning/progressing. Need to keep pushing myself this time.

After spending most of the year recovering from a hip injury I’m now back running and getting stuck into a Marathon training plan. Hoping running an 80/20 plan will help prevent further injuries. https://t.co/nPphhg5OiN

@DeeringRob Thanks for all the episodes Rob. RTRH introduced me to lots of new music that would normally pass me by (some of Buddy’s recs became real favourites). It will be missed.

@MrDaveFoy I look forward to seeing the “Build with Bricks by Fave Doy” course on Udemy for $2

Spread the word; all aboard the Running Commentary train! Available wherever you get your podcasts - pass it on.

First day of 2024 I’ve not run. New puppy vomiting everywhere after his vaccination made sure of that. Glad that ‘run every day’ has been broken nice and early.

[Darren Read @readio]

@DeeringRob Certainly not cold and dark on my run today as we head towards summer. Still, great tunes to get me round.

[Darren Read @readio]

Lovely surprise video message from @idlesband Joe on my Spotify 2023 wrap. Really looking forward to the new album, and hope to see them back in Oz again.

[Darren Read @readio]

So my Spotify listening location is Brighton, UK. Never been but heard the Marathon is ok...

[Darren Read @readio]

@ispypaulspies Haha, almost every time. Deep down though you know the item will be complete rubbish.

@DeeringRob Hearing Pink Floyd gave me the urge to do a dusk trail run through the woods, accompanied by The Dark Side of the Moon.

[Darren Read @readio]

@DeeringRob Happy Birthday Rob. Looking forward to watching your show over the Christmas break.

[Darren Read @readio]

Loved listening to the Q+A episode of @RunComPod on todays run. With that intro jingle could it be anything but brilliant. Bring on the parkrun musical 😂

[Darren Read @readio]

The ‘go to’ steady 10-miler this weekend. Never fails to make me feel better. @RunComPod

[Darren Read @readio]

@DeeringRob Took it out for a run today, a great listen. 3 points [Deleted answers - no spoilers!], including one of my all time fav films.

[Darren Read @readio]

Swallowed at least 300 flies on todays run. Does that mean I'm no longer a vegan?

[Darren Read @readio]

Finally made it back to parkrun. Although the 8am start is a struggle, it makes complete sense. It’s already 28c out there. ☀️@RunComPod

[Darren Read @readio]

It's only Wednesday and already I'm talking myself up to do Parkrun this weekend. I've intended to do it for the past 4 weeks but every Saturday morning I just can't get myself out of bed and out the door.

[Darren Read @readio]

@DeeringRob Also, agree on the new Beatles track. It's great but it would have been interesting if they had done more with it, thinking 'A day in the life'.

[Darren Read @readio]

@DeeringRob I was close on the Ashra year. I guessed 78, which was led by the fact I wrongly thought it was Kraftwerk...It's a great song from a band I'd not heard of before.
