Results | Garmin track It took a while to find it, but eventually I tracked down the immaculately well-kempt Tollcross Park, amidst the grim east end of Glasgow. Luckily only about 40 runners turned up, which was about the number of people who could shelter under the tiny bandstand in the pouring rain. I thought I
Garmin track My 6th 10k in 6 weeks. I was fairly sure I could run faster than any of the Polaroids, but ran out of steam slightly towards the end, and ended up running exactly the same time as Clydebank with 36:42. My only plan had been to stay ahead of Paul Carroll until 3km,
Event details | Course elevation profile I got a bit of an adrenaline rush before the race even started, when mucking around on my warm-up it looked like the race was about to start without me. I needed a mad sprint to make sure I was behind the timing mat before the race was underway. This
Results The final race in the Polaroid 10k series. I set off medium fast for the initial procession through Balloch and into the park, the race spearheaded by a line of Shettleston runners who took places 1 to 6. I managed to catch and pass of few runners on the uphill stretch through the park,
Results | Strava track | Photos | More Photos A new Scottish Athletics event consisting of 10km trail race for the women, and just over 14km for the men. The trails would be pretty familiar to anyone who has run the various Leg 4 options of the Burdens over the years. The weather turned out a real
Results | Garmin track | Strava: Chris | Owen Pottered round the Clydebank 10k this evening. About 30ºC cooler than last year. I started off ridiculously slowly, with the aim of catching lots of folk later on, but in fact apart from catching Owen after about 2km, I didn’t really make up many (or any) places.
Results We had 15 runners, and a close finish with the first 3 runners arriving back within 30 seconds. Ian Thurlbeck did enough to win the handicap and hold off the challenge from Peter Harper and Gregor Stewart, who were barrelling down on him at the end. Gregor ran the fastest time of the night
Results | Garmin track | Route A 3-lap route through Drumpellier Country Park. A smaller 5km loop, followed by 2 larger 5 mile laps. I set off with a time of around 1:22 in mind. I stuck with John Duffy and Mike Anderson for a while but eventually got dropped. By the final 5 mile lap,
There was good display of Westies vests with myself, Fiona Hutch and Gaynor Gillespie all in attendance. Once again the race was started by the legendary Lachie Stewart who famously ran the course in 28:10 about 40 years ago. Apparently nobody has got near that time since. Anyhow, I only had the intention of jogging
Activity on Garmin Connect Bitterly cold conditions greeted the runners when they arrived early at Trossachs Pier for the Loch Katrine Running Festival. The full marathon to Stronachlachar and back started at 9am, followed by a half marathon at 9.30am, and finally a 10k at 10am. I opted for the medium-sized half marathon, and set
