How I spent my weekend 👇🏻
Running, talking, micro blogging, eating..
The Green Runners’ Gathering - I was relaxing post parkrun when an insect landed on my top. Instantly recognised it as a species I’ve wanted to see for a long time: Xanthostigma xanthostigma - Snakefly!
Amazing looking fly.

The Gathering - Darren Evans bringing the sustainable running tips. Brilliant session this afternoon demonstrating how to make homemade electrolytes & energy gels & then how to make running repairs to our daps.
Sweet & salty; stitches & glue

The Gathering - photos from Sunday’s 25km trail run.
The gang took a loop out to Matlock via poppy fields and trig points.

As the first full week of the 2026 World Cup begins, labour advocates and researchers are warning extreme heat is putting workers at risk.

The Gathering - every gathering needs food. And boy did we eat well. Big shout out to Dan for organising the menus, sourcing the ingredients and marshalling the kitchen gang.
Every meal was plant-based, playing a significant role in keeping our CO2e emissions down.

The Gathering - something for everyone this morning with 8km, 20km & 25km distances.
Woods, glades, buttercup filled meadows, shaded canal, a trig point and a few hills for good measure.
Smiling faces, conversation pace.
Green running 💚
This looks wonderful!

It could top 90F in several cities hosting World Cup games – and workers could pay the price with their health
The Gathering - We’ll reflect on what happens next over the coming weeks, but for now here’s a run down of what happened in Derbyshire at the weekend.

The Gathering - tonight’s fireside chat focused on mindful running, finding your intrinsic why, how to keep going when the going gets tough, a crazy “sprint” at the Barkleys and the power of having a good chat with yourself.
Jasmin Paris, Elis Parry and Jeev Singh kept the conversation flowing.
