New book! ‘Parkrun: An Organised Running Revolution’- this is the first book to take an in-depth, evidence-based look at parkrun - the free, weekly, timed 5km run on a Saturday morning - and to explore the reasons for its astonishing global success tinyurl.com/2p9b7rje

Save river swimming at Grantchester Meadows, Cambridge from Kings College ban - if an army of “flower-crowned laughing swimmers” is needed to defy this, count us in waterandwild.blogspot.com/20…

There's an increasing correlation between flipping states and Queer Eye filming locations. Georgia and Pennsylvania (probably) - take a bow fab 5.

Air temperatures could reach record highs this weekend, but sea temperatures are still as low as 13 degrees C around some parts of our coast - cold enough to cause cold water shock. If you get into trouble in the water during the #heatwave, stay calm and #FloatToLive.
