Puma Fast R Nitro Elite 3
It's very frustrating that this shoe seems to be unavailable in a UK Size 10, apart from on Spiv resale platforms.
If anyone knows of anyone looking to get rid of a pair, ideally unused but would consider used, let me know below.

The 9th anniversary of my one and only Ultra. Multiple laps of a trail near Dover to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.
The race started at 7.30am after a prayer from an army chaplain and the blowing of a whistle to send us on our way. Very evocative.
Pleased to clock under 10m/m for a second place finish.

All checked in and ready for tomorrow's Pulsford 10K. Will I manage a Sub 40 this time? Let's see.
If you're out on course supporting and see this kit with me inside it, if you could film a clip that would be great.

Regular viewers of our channel will know that we like to throw in a few interesting history facts into our running content. We have also decided to start a channel devoted to walking and running historic trails and paths. This is the first video on that channel. It may be of interest to some of you, but if it's purely running content you're after please ignore!
But we thought it might appeal to some of you.

I'm racing a 5K later today. In 4 minds which shoes to wear for it, so you lot can decide.
(If it's a meh performance I know where to point the finger) 😉

Thank you to everyone who has joined us on our running YouTube journey over the past couple of years. It's been a lot of fun.
For a 3,000 subscriber special we'll be running the British Masters Indoor 3000m Championship in Sheffield on Sunday.
Actually we had entered the race a while ago, but it's serendipitous that the 3,000 subscribers up the same weekend!

Many thanks to everyone who has joined us on our YouTube journey over the past couple of years.
So for a 3,000 subscriber special we're both running in the British Masters 3,000m indoor championships in Sheffield on Sunday.
We'd actually entered the race a while ago, but it's serendipitous that we reach 3,000 subs the same weekend!

Hi folks,
We've been thinking having seen some Q&A videos lately that we would offer the same. So, do you have any questions you would like us to answer on video? We'd love to answer them in an upcoming video. #keeponkeepingon 👍

Road Racing returns to Barnsley on Sunday.
50 years after Barnsley became the centre of the first mass participation running boom @therunningmaninblue has set up a brand new event for 2024.
Quite a nostalgia trip for me as a previous version of the Barnsley 10k was my first ever race back in 1999. Then in 2004 me and a friend set up a replacement Barnsley 10k which ran for over a decade.
So a new chapter about to be written in this famous part of UK running history.
