Your Five Minutes

Running the Bog anti-clockwise   A Run Through the History of Rithets Bog... Five-sentence summary Carlos takes his e-bike to Rithets Bog for a five-kilometre run, with a detour to collect some maple firewood and a small accounting matter with his wood supplier to straighten out along the way. He explains his latest smartwatch experiment, wearing it around his ankle on the bike to capture more acc...

Carlos takes the Running Jackal’s usual Wednesday episode and turns it into a Your Five Minutes submission, walking along the picturesque laneway towards Arbutus Cove in Gordon Head. Enjoying the sunshine after a night of heavy rain, he admires the distant bulk carrier and storm clouds gathering over Washington State. Hoping to continue along the beach at low tide, he discovers that a rocky outcro...

Solo run clockwise on a newly scoped out route, Ms. J did an anti-clockwise variant of the route. One of my last runs in France takes me along the ridge above Cordes-sur-Ciel, following a route that Norma and I first explored together on foot before I turned it into another solo Jackal adventure. Up on the ridge I discover the local parachute-drop field, complete with windsock, and start wondering...

Carlos is running solo in Cordes-sur-Ciel, while Ms. J walks the same route for half an hour before turning back. The plan is simple: she walks, Carlos runs a little farther, and eventually they meet back up. Along the way, Carlos talks about the hills, the views, jet lag, sleep, and trying something a little different with his podcasting. He’s also recording this one with his friend Kevin and the...

Description:- Today's trail run climbed to its highest point on the Blenkinsop Trail before dropping down the steep, technical descent and looping home via the flatter Lochside Trail. The rocky downhill demanded patience rather than speed, but the Garry oak meadows, sweeping views, and dry summer landscape made every careful step worthwhile. A herd of Longhorn cattle waiting by the gate provided t...

An audio update of "The Roman Ramblers" Huge congratulations, Pablo, Tony and Bill — you did it! Carlisle to Newcastle is no small feat, especially if a 6-hour slog in 25-degree sun was a daily event. Glad Vindolanda gave you a proper break, it really is worth it.

Day one of Pablo, Bill, and Tony's trek across the UK got underway beside a vast tidal estuary, where mudflats stretched toward the horizon beneath a calm grey sky. Their journey officially began at the shelter bearing the inscription, "Wallsend, 84 miles. Good luck go with you" — a fitting send-off for the miles, memories, and challenges that lie ahead. As they followed the coastal path, the land...
