#salesforcefishtank

We’ve been a bit spoilt when it comes to group photos at @run.dem.crew - that man at the front, @simonrphoto has often ran with a hulking camera backpack with his ‘I’m not messing about’ camera. Wielding the thing in a way that leaves me impressed and thankful for such a sharp, pristinely captured moment of a run. So @shahussain and his phone was always going to be up against it 😆 Thanks Sha, for the best shot I’ve got from tonight. I hope it’ll suffice and convey some of the atmosphere of our run, and help illustrate my words. I didn’t make it to RDC last week - so tonight felt like something of a return! Great to catch up with friends, I’ve been training alone a fair bit, and going up and down hills a lot, doing what I can to prepare for the @marathondumontblanc 90km in just over 2 weeks time. I’m not juggling as well as I want to. As ever, Instagram is the first to suffer, and I’m sorry for it - but a rushed, heartless post is even worse than no post. I’m interested in more than keeping a posting schedule. I end up missing the very real sense of community and interaction from you though, and decided to forgo sleep in order to check in and share... something. Highlights from tonight: Talking goals with @jackcajack , hamstring rehab with @wardle_man , the loss of the great #salesforcefishtank with @denisyong , wearing flipflops on a tuesday night in LDN with @josip.runs , discussing worked glutes, sugar, and optimal body composition for runners with @shahussain , chasing hot airballoons in a Land Rover in India for weeks, travel writing and trips of a lifetime with Pistol Pete, quizzing @ond3rd on where/how he got his hands on that priceless @nbrorunning vest, @izzymilburn03 on her sufficiently epic FKT plan... that’s without the countless smiles, hugs from friends I didn’t have time to catch up with. I could go on and on. It’s easy when you’re surrounded by such interesting, inspiring people, and that’s without knowing six of the faces here. I wonder what their stories are and how we all ended up together. I can’t help my relentless curiosity, but I’m way out of time and in need of a haircut. And sleep.
