@jesswarnerjuddx Agree completely, it’s hard enough as it is.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@JNETTEKWAKYE Ha ha, millions of Man Utd fans will disagree.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@gwenjorgensen Great to see you back. Exciting for the sport.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@EilishMccolgan @ASICSeurope @PolarGlobal @PolarUK_IRE @lindsaysnews @ChiaCharge @precisionfandh @hbhm_official @ReviveActive I always think it’s those tough sessions you get through that make the difference. Besides, you have to retain your ‘weather heritage’ every now and then!

@AliceKinsella16 People often say it’s the worst position to finish in. But to my mind it’s way better than 5th and so on. You’ve been awesome, well done.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@UKRunChat Who’s run the other 9 something % then?

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

Wise words from the awesome @des_linden

[des_linden @des_linden]

I like the taper. It’s a dress rehearsal for many of the challenges presented in the first 18 miles.

• Containing nervous/excited energy.
• Not hammering on fresh legs.
• Thinking through, but not overthinking, big decisions.
• Dialing in nutrition.

Great opportunity, imo.

@Iwanrunner @RogerBlack400 @Ricco400 @jamiebaulch You were all awesome. It’s a special part of my athletic memories. You always felt in safe hands when you guys were running.

@paulajradcliffe @Alexand46415081 And didn’t she qualify for 2004 Olympics soon after knee surgery too?

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@paulajradcliffe Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to her the day before Chicago in 2003. Delightful lady.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@karagoucher @des_linden Normally I agree with everything you say, but on this occasion,if the run planned works out at 14.35, then so be it.

[Stephanie Bruce @Steph_Rothstein]

.@nycmarathon training block has officially begun. 20 miles yesterday with miles 14-18 push @ 5:35, 5:35, 5:31, 5:39. Working on that marathon effort on heavy tired legs.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@RunJumpStefReid @parkrunUK @rushcliffepr 2mins that’s ridiculous, you are clearly capable of more. V well done.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@KatharineMerry There were many but Olivia Breen’s sheer joy at winning that sprint gold for Wales has to be one of them.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@hannengland @ECMunich2022 @PhilMinshull @seftelevision @EuroAthletics Caught up after a few days away using your full coverage. Thoroughly enjoyed it and thought you were all brilliant. Great work!

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@leemerrien Was there watching and thoroughly enjoyed it. You had a great run.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@chrisohare1500 @JakeSWightman And he credited you with helping him believe it was possible.

[Richard Pickering @runninginmind]

@JennyMeadows800 LOL, some things never change. Good on her.
