Ran my first proper half marathon today, and absolutely loved it. *Such* a fun distance, and I’m chuffed to have snuck under 1:33. Next stop? The sofa: to watch anyone but myself do sports.

@okayjulia I was there, and watched Jamie's session before we had a chat ourselves pitchside. He'd come down on his own volition, with a tonne of ideas, and was FULL of praise for the Roses - whose l/o didn't click on Sunday. An outstanding player + person. I've got zero time for the snark.

Jamie - England men's captain and one of the best throwers in the game - coming in on his day off to support the Red Roses is awesome: why can't we accept that?

On a walk, and just reflecting on how fantastic Lucy Packer was yesterday. Entered a cauldron, and conducted herself with such composure - whilst producing some massive defensive plays. I was really concerned by the late change ahead of kick-off, but she proved me totally wrong

I’m not saying rugby union should necessarily become a summer sport, but I’m currently prepping for Bears-Quins on my balcony in shorts and sunnies, and am planning a 10am Fab. It’s really quite lovely, and certainly beats the usual routine of preparing hand-warmers on my hob.

I love mooching about to podcasts ahead of games, but it was much more in hope than expectation that I searched ‘Italy rugby’ on Spotify this month Cue @ItalianRugbyPod , whose bite-size chats with the team are teeming with personality and anecdotes, and who’ve become a mainstay

As @OttavioArenella posted, it's genuinely lovely it is that @ItalianRugbyPod is starting to shed more of a light on Italian rugby, and this is credit to @Claire_GThomas for her diligence, research and effort put in to further educate herself on the teams she's commentating on.

I was blown away by ⁦ @Glos_PuryWRFC ⁩ last week (as were Saracens…) - by their talismanic captain, their home grown talent, their potent blend of firepower and flair, and just how much *fun* they were having 🎪 Some thoughts for ⁦ @RugbyPass

Mihambo has just jumped 7.30m. Could we please stop talking about Mo Farah now?

A season-defining sort of signing. Sophie De Goede is a human cheat code: this could prove *seismic* for Saracens.

Didn’t think I could be any more excited for the return of @NetballSL this weekend, and then spotted this in the Oxford Circus @NikeUK store... 🔥 A big day for @HertsMavericks , a huge month for @SkyNetball , and a massive year for @EnglandNetball . This sport means business.

All the usual suspects at the top of the 'tackles made' chart for the @Womens6Nations , but how about Helen Nelson (whose defensive work often goes unnoticed) putting in a round-high *four* dominant shots? 100% off the tee, and taking Welsh names for fun. Phwoar.

Say what you like about Karsten Warholm - but the lad won’t die wondering.
