Some reflections on the challenges of oncology leadership in a system where support roles are reducing, many of us work below our skillset & ambition outpaces delivery capacity. When do we stop pretending everything is possible? We can't keep saying yes. lucygossage.com/we-cant-keep...

With the UK trail racing scene in disarray maybe getting FKTed is the answer? I spoke to @lucygossage.bsky.social about her epic South West Coast Path FKT open.substack.com/pub/runningm...

Why Lucy Gossage loves getting totally FKT
And are they the future of the ultra running scene?

Dr @lucygossage.bsky.social was the first keynote at our 2025 Retreat. Oncologist, professional Ironman champion, and founder of 5K Your Way, Dr Gossage also did her PhD at @cruk-ci.bsky.social. Recalling this time, she said "completing a PhD and training for an Ironman are remarkably similar!"

A turning point in cancer care. The CHALLENGE trial shows exercise after cancer treatment reduces recurrence by 28% and mortality by 37%. If this were a drug, we’d prescribe it tomorrow. It’s time we prescribe movement. 📝 Read my latest blog: lucygossage.com/exercise-is-... #exerciseismedicine

The first phase 3 RCT proving exercise reduces risk of cancer recurrence & is better than many drugs.This should be a gamechanger & trigger funding to support people to be active in a way that works for them. It def supports what we do at Move Against Cancer! www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Exercise ‘better than drugs’ to stop cancer returning after treatment, trial finds
First clear evidence that structured exercise regime reduces risk of dying by a third, can stop tumours coming back or a new cancer developing

We’ve all just had the immense privilege of watching her do exactly that. As anyone who saw her live updates from the course will attest, she’s just blazed a trail of positivity 268 miles long...

Coming back in 2025 wasn’t an easy choice at all, it would mean facing into an immensely hurtful episode in her life, but as she wrote in a recent blog success this year would mean “drawing a line under the chaos of the last year and reclaiming my memories of the Spine for myself”…

50 km I really didn’t feel like today. A good reminder of how tough the Spine is! Definitely not a confidence boosting day but I’ve learnt from triathlon that the days that feel a slog in training are often the ones that count in the race. Pic from a sheltered pit stop! #spinerace #ultrarunning
