Running Commentary
@RunComPod
Paul Tonkinson and Rob Deering talking about life and comedy, but mostly running. Whilst running.
New episodes! You can now hear us ascending Primrose Hill, reviewing Wimbledon & sharing your fabulous PBs. PLUS if you subscribe as a Fan (HERE: runcompod.supercast.com) you can hear some fun bonuses AND the thrilling incoming ep where we get DRENCHED at Hampstead Heath parkrun.


The run of @richardosman’s House of Games I did is on again tonight and all this week - BBC2, 6pm. Watch! Note how nice it is to see me on TV! Lobby your MP for more of the same!
Incredible achievement. The FIFTH time! Congratulations @GBSticks11; we look forward to your blog… #YourWeekendRuns
Last minute #yourweekendruns entry! My 5th Lakeland 100 finish (105 miles actually!) 31h 20m. Highs and lows, ups-and-downs (literally!), but managed the situation and got it done to join the relatively exclusive #500legends club and collect ‘The Slate’. @RunComPod
Run, rabbit, run. #YourWeekendRuns (Monday)
6 x 4 mins with 30 secs standing recovery to start my working week. Let's hop to it! @RunComPod
#YourWeekendRhumba
@RunComPod not so much running, with a bit more strictly, as we sacrificed a LSR with a load of ballroom dancing this afternoon at the Tower ballroom! 💃🕺 #keepdancing

1 hour 40 today @RunComPod Back down to the Trent and back, geese out in force and, yes the heron was back #yourweekendruns
Very good Simon. #YourWeekendRuns
A weekend of pace! Quickest post-long COVID diagnosis ParkRun (in “Da shoes”) and a quick treadmill 5k on Sunday. Bits and pieces around those two runs making 16 miles for the weekend - productive! @RunComPod #YourWeekendRuns
We know we’re no substitute for Justine. #YourWeekendRuns
After a lovely 2 hour early morning paddle board session in Filey with Justine, finished the week with a steady 5 mile trot with the Running Commentary boys for company 😊🏃♂️ @RunComPod
Durdle Dor! Scene of some classic ‘80s pop videos. #YourWeekendRuns
Sunday easy run. Pic from family day out yesterday. @RunComPod
Congrats and beautiful. #YourWeekendRuns
Proud mum alert: while son trains for NATIONALS next week in the pool (eek!) I’ve had a lovely run round Bath skyline:) Happy Sunday all xxx @RunComPod
Sorry to hear it, but it hasn’t stopped you, eh! #YourWeekendRuns
After suffering with a stomach bug all week, today's planned long run had to be reconsidered. 5k progressively quicker each km was the outcome. Marathon training plan being adapted to accommodate what life throws at me, onwards! @RunComPod
Rob’s drum! Lovely area for a run. #YourWeekendRuns
Always nice to run somewhere new - Bethnal Green to the Olympic Park and back via Victoria Park. Catching up with @runcompod Getting stronger with every run - #yourweekendruns
Seaside miles and smiles. #YourWeekendRuns
Doubling up on Saturday with a lovely evening plod with Justine 😊🏃♂️ @RunComPod
That’s Plean to see. #YourWeekendRuns
First visit to Plean Country Park for parkrun #65. Forgot photo. Lovely day 👍 @RunComPod #thankyoumarshal
Well done GTP. Four seconds? Should’ve… #YourWeekendRuns
@RunComPod First 5k in months. Bronze was gettung round without bottling it for a walk. Silver sub 30. Just missed it but it's in the bank now. Always a great start to day. Happy weekend runcommers!
Did you do it again in the morning, but slower? *waggles eyebrows* #YourWeekendRuns
Nice and easy does it @RunComPod Eased my tired legs in to @parkrunUK 167 at Wollaton Hall taking time to admire the views (and steer clear of the 🦌). #yourweekendruns
Rob followed the pacers at Albert. #YourWeekendRuns
A week of high living in the Lake District weighed heavy at Middlesbrough’s Albert parkrun this morning, but it was a lovely event. Thank you Marshals, volunteers etc.
Thank you pacers! #YourWeekendRuns
Another cracking Sewerby parkrun this morning 😊 Pacing 23 minutes as part of the pacing crew with Mollie Holehouse and Jason Westmoreland (also celebrating his 400th parkrun!) and then scanning barcodes for some of the 358 lovely parkrunners after I’d finished 😊🏃♂️ @RunComPod
More manageable, but sounds intense… #YourWeekendRuns
Back sub 21 at the Newstead Abbey Dash 5k @RunComPod Love this race, quite old school with no medals or shirts - just flat out racing! Fast downhill start then plenty of lumps against a rather nice backdrop! #yourweekendruns
Another 100+ mile event features in #YourWeekendRuns; ‘tis the season to be… [INSERT RELEVANT ADJECTIVE HERE]
