I see what you're doing wrong: you're putting the same foot in front of the other each time. Try alternating them. #RunClinic
Sometimes I'm also asked about my 'running technique'. "One foot in front of the other (repeat to finish line)" is mine: what's yours?

I blame my alter ego, who spent yesterday being nostalgic about the FA Cup Finals of his '80s childhood: xitter.gq/no17bus/status/7340869…
I may have got a medal and a PB, but the REAL marathon was the friends I made along the way. I mean it: they were a total drag and a pain.
Probably one of those fads you see in Runners World every month, like barefoot running and chia seeds and taking a shower.

Our coach is always showing off with fancy "innovative" ideas. The latest thing is that slow and steady does *not* win the race. 😏

Well done! When I got back to the hall I was wondering where all the biscuits had gone! @terenure5mile
No worries. Come early to avoid the last-minute rush, and enjoy your run.

The no-nonsense attitude of someone gunning for a PB. I like it. #EyesOnThePrize @terenure5mile
I'll be one of the sub-55 pacers at @terenure5mile this Sunday. If you'll be with our pace group or just see us, say hello.

I was dishing out the medium tops: lots of fittings and trying-on and even phone a friend! @terenure5mile
Good to hear: I was giving out the finisher tops out the back, I hope you chose well! @terenure5mile

It's not for nothing that I'm known as the Bryan Ferry of the Irish running scene #OneForTheKids youtu.be/c1S-6jN8JHI
