Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Afternoon #RunningPunks. Pre-lunch meeting cancelled, so what’s a boy to do…? Go out for a pacy 10k, that’s what!!! Anticlockwise 10k target smashed. Now I have to get back online for my next meeting 😧 Tunes from Aerosmith - Get A Grip powered me along 🤘 2221
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Happy VRC day #RunningPunks. Out for an IRL run club with the Dengie 100 Runners for a misty Sunday Social. Really good to be running with a couple of guys at a similar pace, spurring each other on. Very nearly hit a sub-50 on the anticlockwise loop. Beautiful Garbage for tunes there and back🤘 0141
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Morning #RunningPunks. After the two-week Carnival takeover, the park is ours again for BoC #ParkRun. 🎉 Managed to spot someone I know with a great consistent pace and did my best to keep up. Random shuffle on ParkRun playlist making excellent choices today 🤘 0351
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Beautiful out there yet again this morning. The usual loop again today but anticlockwise. It’s going to take a while to get a sub-50 10k in that direction as the uphills are insidiously shallower, but it’ll get there. Positive tunes from Frank Turner - Be More Kind 🤘 0221
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. I actually stuck to my plan for just a gentle and short run for a change. Quite nice and cool out there but pretty misty and humid. Throwback tunes from Life Sex & Death - The Silent Majority 🤘 0182
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Afternoon #RunningPunks. Unenthusiastic and unmotivated are evidently the necessary ingredients for me at the moment. Set off half-hearted but just let the tunes of Enter Shikari boost me along. Wet and grim, but it just added to the manic glory of it. 🤘 1191
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Felt tired and unmotivated so I originally planned for a short jaunt, but I just got caught up in the glorious sweep of The Cure - Songs Of A Lost World and just went with it… And with all that relaxation came the pace that I’ve been stressing that I’d never get back again🤘 0161
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Chose a flat there-and-back-again route this morning to see if I could up the pace a bit. Turns out yes I can but only for the first half. Too hard and fast too early meant a slog on the return leg. Good tunes though from The Wildhearts - 30 Year Itch 🤘 0201
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Cheers Doc. Gradually getting back on form - I was knocking out way faster pace at the start of the year but then knackered my knee. Nearly recovered hopefully… 🤞 010
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Not quite there yet for a sub-50 10k, but feeling solid and comfortable, and getting closer to it. Tunes from The Fratellis - Here We Stand 🤘 1241
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Unfortunately, we get ousted a few times each year. No ParkRun next week either 111
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. No BoC ParkRun this weekend or next due to the Carnival Fairground taking over Riverside Park - the fact that the ParkRun route around it being totally clear is irrelevant apparently. So, alternative 5k around the town instead with Therapy? - Semi Detached in the ears🤘 1251
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Evening #RunningPunks. Hills session with the Dengie 100 crowd. Probably the last time we can manage to do the cliff in the evenings as sunset’s now about 7pm. A bit of blues from Gary Moore on the way there and back, but just a bit of chat and a LOT of panting during the session itself 🤘 0191
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Evening #RunningPunks. Between a weekend of pirate shenanigans then several full days in the office, I’ve had to neglect running a bit so I was glad to get out tonight and treat myself to the last of the evening sky, reflections on the river, and a random selection of Ginger Wildheart’s GASS tunes 🤘 0181
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. My plan to switch up my route was hampered early on when I found the usual rail crossing padlocked. Ended up taking a shorter route down to the river front and discovered yesterday’s relentless downpour has made the paths “fun”. Tunes from Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid 🤘 0171
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Shorter and easier than usual this morning as I intend to go to the Dengie 100 intervals session tonight. Stunning and beautiful morning out there. Trashy fun tunes from Bruce Dickinson - Tattooed Millionaire 🤘 0151
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Apparently I wasn’t on the rota for marshalling BoC #ParkRun today. Really didn’t think I was in the right mindset for running it, but I was in the right kit, so… Turns out that relaxing in the middle of the pack made me go faster than I have done since the start of the year 🤘 0201
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Well, a big river about five miles from the sea, Doc, but close enough 😉 000
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Unexpectedly tough run - strong gusty headwinds on the southward and eastward sections were really sapping, plus I got bad cramp in the back of my knee while giving way to wheelbarrows of cement. Cool tunes though from Enter Shikari - The Mindsweep 🤘 1221
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Maybe we’re just lucky over our way. I am competitive and I like to be as fast as I can when I’m running on the course, but we always have some walkers and I have never really heard too many complaints. Hope you manage to get back into a routine with it 🤞 110
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 02/09/2026😁 Fair enough. I am just being hopeful that other people are cheerful like me. 110
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I volunteer reasonably regularly at my local ParkRun and I doubt most volunteers would mind at all. We’re there to support all taking part whatever their speed. Don’t worry about it. 110
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Comfortable and easy pace today, so fairly mellow tunes from Ginger Wildheart - The Pessimist’s Companion and a bit of Ghost In The Tanglewood 🤘 091
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Decided it was time to try for a bit more distance and I was assuming I could probably manage about 7 or 8 miles, but managed nearly 11 before my body wanted to stop. Then my mind started bullying my body about how it was only a couple more miles for a HM, so we slogged on 🤘 0151
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Morning #RunningPunks. A Pirate Picnic is taking over the park today so BoC ParkRun is officially cancelled. Decided to get in an unofficial ParkRun early instead. Plus a gentler run home to finish off the joys of Moron Police - Pachinko 🤘 0221
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Evening #RunningPunks. Hills session with the Dengie 100 Runners, although “hill” is a bit of a misnomer for a 300m slight incline. Still, the aim was to try and sustain steady pace uphill and down, which largely looked like it worked. Old school metal from Helloween on the way there and back. 🤘 0311
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 27/08/2026She is indeed brilliant. Many years ago, she not only replied to a young fan (my daughter) asking whether she’d consider having deaf characters in her stories, but chose to consult with her in developing the characters in Deeplight. Formative for my daughter at a time of struggle with hearing loss. 010
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Evening #RunningPunks. Completely random run tonight. Initially planned a short run with some sprintervals but then had so much fun with shouty nonsense from The Wildhearts, Super$hit 666, and The Scratch that I just did whatever felt good. Sprints, runs, jogs, even some walks, whatever worked 🤘 0350
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Generally, albums that I know well, largely rock and metal from the late 80s onwards. Knowing what tracks keeps me motivated, sometimes giving me a boost when I anticipate a particularly good one. 010
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Wow! I may now disappear down a rabbit-hole of research about Edinburgh in WW2… 010
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Cheers Doc! But I am lamenting the fact that this was my regular 10k pace at the start of the year yet I am struggling to sustain that on a 5k now. I’m on the road to recovery but I’m impatient 😉 120
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Finally back to BoC #ParkRun. Badly out of practice, but really good to catch up with a load of the regulars. Random shuffle on the playlist threw out some gems 🤘 1321
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Morning #RunningPunks. A whole week since my last run 😧 I am definitely slipping, but in fairness it’s been a weird busy week. Excellent tunes from Eureka Machines, although I can’t help feeling their track Professional Crastinator was a subtle dig at my current running form 🤘 0161
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Considering the heat is already rising uncomfortably at 9am, I decided tonight’s run club hill sessions are a no-no, so I decided to do my regular clockwise loop. Stupidly forgot to hit Start on Strava so did the first half even happen…? The mighty Enter Shikari for tunes 🤘 0110
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Morning #RunningPunks. A real treat today getting the ferry with the Dengie 100 Runners across the Crouch to do a loop around the Wallasea Island nature reserve. So strange to see the hometown from a different perspective after running around it probably 1000 times. Plus post-run hydration🤘 0221
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Evening #RunningPunks. Back for a Dengie 100 hills session again. Thoroughly enjoyed that one. Got my pacing just about right and even managed an increasing pace on the way home assisted by a random shuffle of the ParkRun playlist 🤘 0141
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Got out while it was still cool enough to enjoy it. The Wildhearts self-titled for tunes, ahead of next week’s gig!!! 🤘 1181
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Evening #RunningPunks. Wasn’t finished in time for the Thursday night hills session with the D100 Runners, so just went for a random trundle. Random selection of Ginger Wildheart tunes pumping through my ears 🤘 0231
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Most of my running is on home turf in south east Essex, but I do occasionally do some routes up around Sudbury, particularly the section down from Long Melford to Sudbury and back again. Some gorgeous paths there following the old rail lines. 011
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Mixing up routes again for a bit of variety. Left knee got a bit twingey, so eased up in the final third. The ankle-breaker rutted riverpath probably didn’t help. Fierce tunes from The Scratch - Pull Like A Dog 🤘 1171
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Evening #RunningPunks. Out for another hills session with the Dengie 100 Runners. Loads more joined us this evening, perhaps a record turnout for the hills. Went a bit further and found it harder tonight, but got it done! 🤘 0251
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Could only find a garden version of the RP heron this morning but I spot an egret. Powered along by early 90s metal this morning from The Almighty and Judas Priest 🤘 081
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Morning #RunningPunks. Finally back out for a Dengie 100 Sunday Social. Can’t remember when I last managed to make it to one of these. Really good to run with others at their pace. A bit of solo run time to the meet-up and back allowed me some time to indulge some Enter Shikari - Lose Yourself 🤘 0151
Jamie P @e3jtp.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I was advised by a teammate to make sure I had a fresh set of running clothes for every lap, which gave a good excuse for bringing a range of running tops. Deliberately saved this one for my final lap as it’s the running top I am proudest to wear. Needs to be seen and understood more 🤘 010
