It's been a great couple of days so far at #perfnow, only one talk to go! The speakers are at the top of their game, as are our MCs, clocks and geography not withstanding. My little brain is overflowing.

#perfnow question for Ines: Most of the focus (including reporting) seems to be origin or network, less on Scope 3 emissions. Do you see that improving?

Question for Tammy, lots of people are using ChatGPT for research but also now execute tasks, and it's typically not quick. Do you think we sometimes emphasise speed over usefulness? #perfnow

We're on holiday in Plockton, on the west coast of Scotland. It's been a great week with a couple of runs so far. I'm still getting over a really bad cold, but apart from that loving life! #trailrunning youtube.com/shorts/s5k3Q...

Storm Amy forced a change of plans for this weekend, so instead of heading to the West Highland Way I decided to do a long (and slow) local route. Furthest I've run for 9 weeks and I could tell by the end! #trailrunning

Beautiful day here in Fife, Scotland. Felt great to have a Type 1 fun run, before a full day of DIY. #trailrunning #running

We're just back from Chamonix, my first time in 18 years and first time with trail running shoes. And I'm happy to say I'm fitter now than I was 18 years ago. #trailrunning #running #chamonix youtu.be/399mSeALY-E

Chamonix has been everything I'd hoped for, amazing trails and fitness increase without breaking myself. Nice little run in the forest with 508m of ascent. #trailrunning

First (and biggest) run of the holidays, 1281m of ascent. Up to Plan de l'Aiguille, along the Grande Balcony Nord to Montenvers, and back to the campsite. #trailrunning
