Set a treadmill at 21kph ( max most will go to) and try to run for 30 seconds on it. That's what he did for 1 hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds. The peak of human physical achievement. Insane, absolutely insane.

I've just been on Times Radio talking about the govt's curriculum review. - really good Progress 8 is staying the same and coursework isn't coming back! - teaching to spot misinformation - this is a great aim but we know how hard it is to teach critical thinking in the abstract - need to see what the programmes of study will look like. See Willingham here for challenges of teaching critical thinking aft.org/sites/default/files/… One thing I didn't mention - the new Y8 tests - again, need to see what these will look like & if they will support or detract the work high attaining schools have been doing in KS3

Day 1 at the @Diamond_League final in Zurich - great city, great friends and some promising performances in the stadium which bodes well a couple weeks ahead of the World Championships - @WATokyo25 - in Tokyo - the first in our new strategy to end each season with a World Championship.
