After 20 years of travelling to Uganda, it’s been an absolute joy to bring my wife & son to the Pearl at last. The come back against SA for 3-3 last week was among many highlights. Sincere thanks to everyone for the amazing hospitality. This is a very special country. Asanti Sana

.⁦@RwenzoriMarathn⁩ Broken now, but my 50 year old legs dragged me round to 1.46 & top 3 Mzungu I think & my son was allowed to give me my finishers medal. The hospitality, courtesy & reception given to Becky & Arthur has been outstanding on our 1st family holiday here. 👊🏻

A run in the sun around the Shire. So nice to have had 10 nights in my own bed after an incredible Summer for OBS on the Olympics & @Channel4 on the Paras. Just about to rejoin all my snooker mates for Eng Open in Essex & British Open in Cheltenham. Can’t wait to see you all! 👊🏻

⁦.⁦@Paris2024⁩ Take a bow Paris. Take a bow. Absolutely incredible Olympics. Best Athletics at a Games since - and equal to - London 2012. An honour to be in Stade de France every day. But time to down the Stats for 12 days before returning for the Paras. Sleep beckons!

Cannot wait to get on air. This is going to be utterly epic. Multiple World Records over the next 10 days. I honestly believe this is the best assembled global field of Athletes we’ve seen for more than a decade. Let the greatest Athletics show on earth commence.

.@SchoolAthletics English schools is the lifeblood of our Sport. To see the purity of commitment from those kids was superb. I wouldn’t be doing what I am without grassroots Athletics or Snooker. So excited now for Paris. Feel like the 9 year old I was in 84 watching LA! Come on!

.@AthleticsWeekly @SchoolAthletics Always important to remember how & where you started in a sport. Warming up for Paris by giving a day of my time to commentate on Eng Schools. Vital breeding ground for so many of our Greats. @RosieTimlock and I are ready to go. Can’t wait. 👊🏻

Busy couple of months, but always time for a Father & Son Run & Ride, esp today. Wonderful Sunday with the heir. But also sending thoughts to all Dads who woke up this AM with only memories of their little stars taken far too early. PH you are a Lion of a man. One day at a time.x
