Roscon 10K, marathon training and other stuff
It's been some time since I've written a post for the website, but it's also been some time since my last race. I've had a few, but nothing noteworthy. I've been training for the Barcelona Marathon at the end of March, so for once I actually…
Bilbao Half Marathon
I've been meaning to write a race report for a while now, but there's been little time since moving here. I've found some gorgeous hills about 15 mins run from the flat so I'm well chuffed! However, last week a friend asked me if I'd join him…
Stirling 10k, 2011

Kilometer 7: Cold conditions, light rain. Bertie Rooster struggles to keep up his 4 minute pace. No sign of Peter to help him out. Difficult to avoid puddles and other runners! Anyway, why would a care free bachelor-about-town undertake…

Glasgow Uni Road Race
ResultsA modest turnout (187 finishers) for this much-altered annual fixture, perhaps on account of its being rescheduled from its usual November slot and the resultant colder and wetter conditions. However, the rain held off long enough for…
Glen Clova Half Marathon
This weekend I ran a race. But I didn’t race a race. I just ran it for the sheer enjoyment of running! Or at least that was my intention. This half marathon isn’t in the p.b. range, so why did I bother traipsing a 260 mile round…
Millport 10-mile Road Race
Results | PhotosThe rain and gale force winds made for challenging conditions at this year's Round Cumbrae 10-miler. My plan before the start was to tuck in with Garscube runners Euan Geddes and John Bell, and shelter for as long as possible.…
Maraton Warszawski
Event website | Results | Brian's splitsI ran my first ever marathon here last year after my Forfar mate and long time running accomplice Steve Connor moved to Warsaw and suggested I combine a social visit with the race. Despite having managed…
