My 2024 #running highlights:

1. HM PB 1:29:37
2. 5 km PB 19:33
3. 10 km PB 40:33
4. Completed an Ultra (66.8 km)
5. Seeing unusual wildlife and amazing views

The thing I’m still chasing is 3500 km total for the year. Sidelined with illness this week but back running today. Quite a few kms to go 🥵 and not much time left! Will update if I make it!

@jonny there’s a great article in Science about the guy that’s spent his career trying to answer that very question https://www.science.org/content/article/biologist-aims-solve-cell-s-biggest-mystery-could-it-help-cancer-patients-too

This article cites academia as accounting for 9% of carbon emissions. There needs to be a change in mindset to reduce the carbon footprint of academic research. Air travel is something many academics could cut back on. Can we do this online? Do we need to fly the candidate over? Is attending this conference really necessary? Could you tie together a few visits having flown somewhere? Culture change is needed.
