Bank holiday trail run at Chatleherlaut Country Park ☀️ Been wanting to do this one for a while — just me, the trees & the birdsong 🌿 8.57km | 5:18/km pace with some tough hills. Loved it! #RunSky #TrailRunning #BankHolidayRun #UKRunning #TrailRunner #Running #GetOutside

Bank holiday + heatwave = perfect excuse to head to Gullane Beach! ☀️ Not a cloud in sight, just sun, sand and sea. We’ve been coming here since last year and it never disappoints — this year was no exception! 🌊🏖️ #BankHoliday #GullaneBeach #Scotland #Heatwave #VisitScotland

4 days of rain finally broke! 🌤️ Hit the roads but the humidity nearly finished me off 😅 Legs said yes, lungs said NO. Still managed 11.33km @ 5:10/km with a sub-25 5K in the mix. Tough one but I'll take it! 💪 #Running #5K #RunningCommunity #RunSky

I will be a First Minister for all of Scotland.

Just had a meeting with a colleague who dropped this gem on change: “It’s better to run towards something than away from something.” Such a powerful reminder when facing the unknown. What are YOU running towards? 🏃‍♂️✨ #Mindset #Change #Growth​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mixing runs with yoga keeps things fresh & aids recovery. Two rainy days = perfect excuse for a Yin class — really digging deep into those muscles! Feeling sore but restored in ways I didn’t know possible. Reminder: rest is just as important as the miles. 🧘‍♂️🏃 #Running #Yoga #Recovery​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Immigration makes Britain great not the other way round

Fascinating list which perfectly illustrates the problem with these things. Only one of the top 22 was written in my lifetime - and I'm nearly 60. It's more a list of received wisdom of things people were told they should read when they were at school or university.

From babies to teenagers, watching them grow is bittersweet. But knowing you’ve raised them to stand on their own two feet and face the world? That’s the greatest reward of parenthood. 🌍❤️ #Parenting #ProudParent #EmptyNest #LetThemFly

Not all weeks are created equal. 🌤️✨ This one? 53.3km done. New 10K PB smashed — 48:47 ⚡ Finished with 13.45km @ 4:57/km this morning. Weekend, I'm ready for you. 💪 #Running #RunSky #PB

Sorry what !!!!!

What a morning. 🏃 Knocked out 13.37 km at a 4:56/km pace — and buried a new 10K PB in the process: 49:08, shaving off 8 whole seconds. Small margins, big feelings. Progress is progress and I’ll take it. 🔥 #Running #PB #PersonalBest #10K #RunningCommunity #MorningRun #RoadRunning #Runsky

Woke up this morning inspired for my second run of the week, only to step outside and get absolutely drenched. No run today, but I swapped it for a yoga session and stretched muscles I forgot existed. Sometimes when one door closes, another opens. #runsky #yoga #fitness

After another lazy weekend, I kicked off the week with 13.26km at a steady 5:09/km pace💪 Right back into my usual rhythm, which feels great. Decided this is going to be a week of longer runs — consistency and compounding progress as always. 🏃‍♂️ #Running #RunLife #Strava #Consistency #LongRun #RunSky

Just finished The Diving Pool by Yoko Ogawa and loved it. Ordinary moments made quietly unsettling, where something always feels slightly off beneath the surface. A brilliant intro to her writing. #BookSky #Books #Reading

After hearing the Book Club podcast with Dominic Sandbrook and Tabitha Stanmore, I revisited Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Years later, I feel like I’m finally understanding the book and its characters properly. Like stepping into a whole new world. #BookSky #Books #Reading #KazuoIshiguro

I will build a Scotland where everyone feels seen, where everyone feels at home, and where everyone is able to contribute to Scotland’s story.

Charlize Theron on the Night Her Mother Killed Her Father in Self-Defense Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country. Nobody takes it seriously.
