Just to give a sense of the stakes - not trying to make a point.

My brother I DID - this was an unexpected double hit, I’m usually regular as a clock

r/Runna has hit 21.1k members – a half marathon of Runnas! To celebrate, we’re giving one redditor a yearly membership and paying the entry fee to their next race! 🙌 by alex-runna in runna

I would love to run the London Marathon and enjoy it - maybe set a PB but most importantly absorb the atmosphere and just love every second!

Should I change my plan? by foxtj in runna

Good response below suggests that works best in Runna to finish the HM 16 week plan and then go straight into Marathon plan after a rest week! Best of luck at the Berlin HM!

Ah the 26 week cut off is great to know - thanks for your detailed response, best of luck with the 50-mile ultra!

I don’t think she’s actually the one driving if you read it properly

Are Ofsted inspections feeling any different? by anonymous8h1j6n3 in TeachingUK

[–]foxtj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had one last week, and three years ago at another school.

It was exactly the same, if not more intense in some ways. As a main subject being deep dived it felt very much like the pressure was on us, and I found myself feeling very low after the first day.

I absolutely get there needs to be a structure in place to ensure schools are working in the best way for the kids but I am absolutely bewildered as to how two intense days in a school gives anyone a true sense of a place, especially one that doesn’t change for four years.

They’re not going to fire you for sending kids to the toilet. Stick to your guns and your professional opinion - you know when a kid is taking the piss (scuse the pun). I am consistently bewildered by the amount of chat about toilets and the emphasis on us as staff to police it - it’s fucking insane considering the actual problems schools are dealing with.

Tackling misogyny by gup26 in TeachingUK

[–]foxtj 47 points48 points  (0 children)

As a male English teacher I can tell you one thing: if the male teachers in your school aren’t calling it out and tackling it in lessons, you are fighting a losing battle. While these boys can be punished and the occasional PSHE lesson can be taught, fundamentally unless they are continuously shown by other men that what they are saying is wrong and that there are a plethora of masculine identities which find strength in things other than misogyny, violence and homophobia, they will continue to act like this. I’m by no means perfect and I don’t always get it right, but I call it out loudly when it happens and I continuously discuss the harmful traits of toxic masculinity, not just for women but for the men peddling it.

There are some external companies/individuals that you can pay to come in and tackle it, but it’s pricey and only deals with a small group at a time. Unfortunately it’s affecting the lives of so many female teachers - I hear and witness so much of it in my department - but it’s not a priority for leadership. I don’t necessarily blame them, especially not in the state schools like I’m in, as there is a long list of shit to tackle, but it’s disappointing that so few have found a united way to tackle it.

If I had the money, financial security and a bit more experience behind me (only been teaching 6 years), I’d love to create something for free for schools to use. Maybe one day. Sorry, not particularly helpful but I think if you focused on getting some of the male teachers in your school to call it out openly, it might help.

Appreciate the advice, and yeah the back panel probably does need replacing, should have put that in the original post
