#twopointsixchallenge complete but how many throws did it take to run 2.6 miles? To win Team GB kit, donate to Ron Pickering Fund if you can. Extra prize for the correct guess of no. of throws (one guess is only 1 out, most have been over-optimistic of my current form!)🤪🚀🏃🏻‍♀️Draw tomo🥳

.Goldie Sayers is not far off raising £2000 following her 2.6-mile run and throw for Ron Pickering Fund. Read about it here ➡️ athleticsweekly.com/athletics-news… #TwoPointSixChallenge

So, the results are in...it took 208 throws to run 2.6 miles. There were definitely a few done left-handed to pace myself! 😅Thanks to all who donated to Ron Pickering Fund so we can support the next generation of athletes… instagram.com/p/B_fex64HZit/…

Happy Olympic Day. Such an honour to have competed at three Olympic Games for Team GB Competing is obviously the best but the parade post 2012 plus the ceremonies will always be highlights. Happy memories 😊 Jonnie Peacock Robbie Grabarz

Goosebumps. Only Dame Jess Ennis-Hill can even begin to understand the pressure Cathy Freeman was under in Sydney. Sport unifies 🙌🏻🙌🏻.

The True Athlete Project Oonagh Cousins Goldie Sayers UK Sport Women in Sport British Rowing Sport England Cambridge University Mentoring is a skill. A valuable and rare skill. It is also an essential skill for success, however success is defined. It requires a huge skill set, unknown by the vast majority of “I’m a mentor”. For the record, Goldie Sayers is very rare, she is absolutely a mentor. V good 2.

Surely there must be a willing sponsor out there? An important milestone for many athletes. For many the first step, for others the pinnacle. English Schools also identifies potential stars not already in the club system ( for example, Adam Gemili). athleticsweekly.com/blog/sos-save-…

CAS have sighted ‘irreparable harm’ to a minor if Valieva is not allowed to compete. What about the ‘irreparable harm’ to those athletes who have been training twice as long who will be denied their moment on the podium? #BeijingWinterOlympics2022

Great to be back in an actual stadium watching world class athletics Wanda Diamond League Alexander stadium never looked so good 🤩. A fitting tribute for Robbie Grabarz 2012 silver medal upgrade too 🙌🏻
