Tonbridge ACs @lucyreid92 smashes her club half marathon record with 70.29 for 14th in Copenhagen Half Marathon
This is what @parkrunUK is all about!
Loved getting down to the local park run and seeing people of all ages run 5k😊
Whether it’s your 1️⃣st, 1️⃣0️⃣th, 2️⃣5️⃣th, or 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣th run, always finish with a smile on your face!😃
Thank you to all the volunteers at @tonbridgepkrun today👏
Saw this pop up in the group chat and actually couldn’t believe it…
Rumour has it that they reached out to @BritishMilers before entries closed 👀

You’re welcome! @shotputtlinco had the place rocking. Loved seeing him to well 😃
Thanks @crickcastpod for unknowingly capturing me screaming “YOU’RE A FUCKING LEGEND!!” at @shotputtlinco. Really wish I’d tried to convince @TomWalshSP and @JackoGill to give me a hug too though, on reflection 🤣

This is an unpopular opinion 😂
Short and sharp is the way forward and will attract new fans to the sport.
Replying to @Nethaneel
The organisers were quite savvy in releasing tickets in tranches, almost panicking people into buying. It obviously worked, though it put me off completely. I’d prefer to watch a full day of UK trials (rather than a few events in a short-ish session). And British League matches.

These crowds at Commies for athletics have been amazing. We have to find a way to allow this to continue for diamond leagues and trials in the country. No excuses. People want to see the sport. Make it happen!
Frustrating to watch…
Track action disrupting the high jumpers…
I do question the need for a 10,000m race.
The distance means there are athletes at different points on the track whilst the field eventers are also competing. Can’t be easy for the nerves 😬

World 800m finalist, and a PB!!
Job’s not finished…
A PB of 1:46.80 for @SamReardon4 means he joins Hussey in the 800m final 🙌

🤯 This was absolutely remarkable. Thousands stayed with us for two hours in the stadium for the final event, and the noise for this @harrykendall567 clearance was goosebump-inducing. #B2022 @robwalkertv @KatharineMerry
💬"I have never, ever heard a noise like it for a Decathlon Pole Vault clearance ... that is extraordinary!"
Harry Kendall took centre stage at Alexander Stadium today ... and the crowd showed him some love!

This is some serious hype! Love it 😊

So good @harrykendall567 enjoying the Commonwealth Games Decathlon. Tonbridge AC since 2008 as an under 13.
Gutted not to be in the stadium right now but buzzing to be there tonight!
Harry Kendall had the crowd in the palm of his hand 👏
This athletics, this is hype, this is fantastic 💥

Harry Kendall in this deca PV. I've never seen ANYTHING like it and it's absolutely brilliant! 😂

Still can’t believe the state of the Athletics start lists at the Commonwealth Games. Why on earth couldn’t they let @EnglandAthletic take a full team and put on a show - no one wants to see 2 heats/straight finals at a “major” champs. 👎🏼 #CWG2022

A full athletics stadium at the Commonwealth Games shows people want to watch our sport.
Limited participants and empty lanes show how far our sport has regressed.
It's never one person's fault, but someone has to ask the question ... What the f**k is going on 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

“This is awesome!”
Safe to say my 3 y/o loved her first “race” @Great_Run She absolutely smashed it too, pacing herself and running the whole 1.5km without stopping. #proudmum #happiness
