🟢 On May 7th we will be fielding our biggest ever list of candidates. Everyone in Swindon will get a chance to vote Green.
Over the next few days we will be introducing you to all of the people in your local area taking a stand for communities, families and small businesses.
What are people using to get running routes for particular distances?
You told us about the problems with litter in Queen's Park, so we decided to do something about it.
Your views matter, and we're listening.
Here's the Green Team in action!
#Swindon #Litter #GreenMenace
At Swindon Borough Council's budget meeting today, Swindon Green Party will propose to freeze Councillors allowances this year. We propose to use the money this would save to fund more SEND transport.
We've heard so much from SEND families who are struggling.
To buy a garmin or not/ that is the Question! I want to…but do I need to! I have an old Apple Watch that works fine. But I am a regular runner now and trying to track fitness.
What do’u think? To buy or not to?
I have always wondered what racists have against grammar and punctuation! It’s coz it came from the ancient Greeks innit! I am out if breath trying to read this one!
Trying to find modest active wear- like long running tops that don’t cost a fortune is near impossible! There is a market for this. Brands like #Haya #ByNora are too pricey! This one of the reasons we have barriers to fitness for women! Can we change this?
What shoes are u running in? ai have @saucony.bsky.social Guide 18s. Gait analysis said they were best but surprisingly gave me my usual shoe size and when I run after about 3-4k I get pins and needles in my feet. Should it have been bigger size?
This amazing! Thank you!
How often are you doing the strength training and how often are u doing running? Have you seen an improvement?
Been training for a half marathon since Jan & started w/ the couch to 5k. I have built this to 7.5k & then did 10k last month. Now I can barely run 1k without walking some of it as my calfs hurt loads.
Any help on how I stop calf/Shin pain & increase endurance? #RunningPunks
So, did a a 7k run this morning despite a nasty cold & even went up a hill! Did a some walking but mostly run. First 2k was hard. From 3k run without stopping & faster too. What can I do about calve aches & pins & needles in feet?

The level of anxiety & frustration I am feeling whilst reading #IShallNotHate by @AbuelaiIzzeldin is unexpectedly high.
I admire his desire to build bridges but I genuinely ask when he says “suffering on both sides” how can he equate the same for both oppressor and oppressed?
Is the coaching element etc of Runna helping?
Is anyone subscribing to #Strava is it worth it?
#RunningPunks
Yes- I have been told I need to get into working my legs and core. Any particular exercises that may help?
Last Sunday did my 1st 10k- slow and struggled. I have until end of Sept to prep for half marathon. I want speed and endurance. How do I get that. And How do I stop the aches and pains after long run? #RunningPunks
I did my first 10k race over the weekend. It wasn’t fast nor pretty! But it was done! I felt elated! Such races have such a buzz! Now hooked on buying running shoes! Ran in @Saucony but felt a bit of rubbing despite gait analysis for it.
What do u recommend?
10k run done! Bristol was amazing! I thoroughly hated and loved it all at once!
What a vibe!
And I beat my own target and I most definitely wasn’t last! #RunningPunks
#Bristol10k
Its tomorrow. I managed a 5k run yesterday and a 9k walk today- so I am hoping I can get through it just fine. Nerves have kicked in though!
Just started reading 1971- A people’s history of Bangladesh, Pakistan & India.
So far it seems promising- the writer, Anam Zakariya a Pakistani Canadian writer tries to give an honest take from the people of the country & the propagandists are left out of the narrative- should be interesting.
I have just finisjed readinh #LessonsInChemistry by #BonnieGarmus
Though set in the 50/60s where sexism was far more prevalent - the theme of sexism & discrimination remains very much in play today. Reminder: we need to Keep challenging discrimination!
I am meant to be running my first ever 10k this weekend. I have managed to get to 7.5k but have since had a kidney infection and today have a sore throat & cough. I really really want to race! Need to be fit enough to get to that finish line! #RunningPunks #RunningBug
Around about November ‘24, I think it was, when I started the c25k & started taking it serioisly in Jan ‘25 at which point I couldnt even run 60 secs w/o feeling like I would die!
Today I graduated the 9 week course! Today I run over 1 hr 10 mins and did over 7.30km!
#C25k works! #RunningPunks
Many thanks. Will give this a go.
What is fartleks?
I think I have the running bug! Every time I go out I hate it & want to stop in the first min or 2 but I push & when I finish I want to go out again & smash my target! 5k today done in. 47 mins- 1 min faster then my last.
How do I work on my speed? I want distance and speed? #RunningPunks #Running
Why? I have read most of the books on the table and they are eye openers and also ones that make you cry! Why?
Week 9 run 1- i just keep going now until I get tired.
In Jan I could barely stick to 60 sec runs. Now…7k! 7k!
I am very slow. Took me over an hour- but its non stop running! 7k!
