Crisp, dry morning = perfect running weather. Knocked out 10 km at 5:22/km—foot’s a bit sore so not quite full gas, but happy to get it done. First run of the month! #running #runsky

Weekend wander at Carron Valley Reservoir — wild, vast, stunning. Hard to believe it’s just an hour from Hamilton. #runsky #scotland 🌿

Shout out to #glasgow

Last run of the week ✅ 11.37 km at 5:08/km. Managed to hit my weekly goal (49 km) and finish the month on 176.8 km. Proper spring vibes today—very happy about that. #running #runsky

Wet roads, steady legs. 11.22 km at 5:11/km (~58:09). Consistent pace lately, and the warmer air is starting to feel like spring. Hillier than usual today. #running #runsky

Happy Wednesday / happy hump day. 13.3 km at 5:05/km—turns out I can still move. No rain, but the air was pure cloud. Feeling really good about the progress. #running #runsky

Morning.

Back on the road today after a few days off—and it felt good. 13.12 km at 5:16/km in seriously humid air (big change from the last few weeks). #running #runsky

I stand with Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Today marks the 4th year of the war against Ukraine. Across the country, communities have stepped up. In Fife, LINK Church created a warm, welcoming space where Ukrainians could gather, learn English, share meals, and begin to rebuild their lives. This is the Scotland we believe in.

If it’s going to rain, I’m going to stretch. Mat deployed, hips persuaded, week ahead in sight. #running #runsky #yoga

Woke up planning to go for a run, but the weather had other ideas—so I rolled out the yoga mat and did an hour-long session instead. Absolutely wrecked… didn’t realize it was basically a plank-fest. #yoga #running #runsky

A longer one this morning: 13.10 km at 5:15/km. Steady, consistent, and honestly reassuring. Also—brighter mornings already. Spring’s around the corner, and the running light’s days are numbered. #running #runsky

Started the morning with some yin yoga—slowing down, stretching out, and resetting. A good reminder: your body’s an engine, and it needs both tuning and rest. #yoga #running #runsky

Beautiful sunshine today, so I made the most of it ☀️ 11.80 km in the bag at a 5:15/km pace — not bad at all. Nothing like a run in the sun. #runsky #running

Read and share all over..he nails it

Day off + dry weather = no excuses 🙌 Two loops of Strathclyde Loch done and dusted: 12.19 km at a 5:13/km pace. Strava said I brought the intensity 💪 Feeling sharp, feeling ready. Strong start to the week. #runsky #running

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Weekends are always meant for walks and resting up. Went out to Loch Leven in Kinross for a walk which ended up being a 20 km hike. The sun was out so wanted to take full of advantage of it #runsky #running #scotland

Another week in the books: 42.12 km total. This morning was a bit slushy—I nearly went for a slide on a footpath—but still got 11.10 km done at 5:16/km, right on my usual pace. Looking forward to the weekend. Happy (early) Chinese New Year! #running #runsky #chinesenewyear

Let’s just say it was once again super damp this morning… I’m not sure how much more rain the ground can take—it feels completely saturated. Anyway, I got in a slightly longer run: 11.10 km at 5:18/km. #running #runsky

On to the next read of the year #booksky #reading

Thought I’d do some midweek yoga instead of my usual run. Stretching out and recovering matters—recovery is as important as the run itself. Good reminder for me. #yoga #running #runsky

Another wet morning—but this is Scotland, so nothing new. Did the same run as yesterday at 5:13/km, which is an improvement on the last few runs. Really pleased with the progress. #running #runsky

A bit on the wet side this morning, but I got it done! Hit the road for a shorter run: 9.96 km at 5:24/km. A touch slower than last week, but still a strong effort—and the extra elevation was a fun change. Stayed mostly in the temp zone (67% of the run). #running #runsky

Covered 48 km this week — weekly target smashed. This morning I ran the same route again: 13.14 km at 5:20/km. Really happy with the progress (and with sticking to my weekly goals). Bring on the weekend. #running #runsky

Longest run of the week: 13.11 km at 5:18/km. A bit slower than my last few runs, but still in my normal range. Calves are a little sore, but I got it done. #running #runsky

Rain was coming down a bit too hard for a run, so I ended up back on the yoga mat for some stretching and recovery. Let’s see what the weather does tomorrow. #running #runsky

A little drizzle to start, but I pushed through—11.17 km at 5:14/km. Love seeing progress, even on rainy runs. Feeling good—bring on the day. #running #runsky

A day of firsts: first run of the month and the week. 11.12 km @ 5:15/km (about 58:23 total). Nice to see the pace trending the right way. Bring on February. #running #runsky

Next book #booksky #reading. Oh and did I mention I just finished Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

Closing the week strong: 11.10 km at 5:16/km. Week total: 44.2 km. January total: 172.4 km. Great way to start the year—and honestly surprised I still hit my monthly target with all the rain lately. #running #runsky

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

Another day, another run. ✅ 10K at 5:20/km on the same route as yesterday — a small improvement. Monthly target 160 km: done. One more run to hit the weekly goal. Feeling good. #running #runsky

Dry morning, so I laced up and hit the tarmac. 10K done at 5:23/km—about 65% in the tempo zone, with the rest in threshold. Varied route too: a good mix of hills and flats. Solid run. #running #runsky

Rain, rain, rain — nature has a way of reminding you just how wet Scotland can get. With the sky turning grey, it felt like the perfect cue to stretch things out. Yoga mat: deployed. Even when the weather says “no,” you can still get some movement in. #runsky #running

I wasn’t sure about the weather, but I stuck with it. Managed 13 km at 5:21/km, and Strava kindly reminded me it was a solid effort. A good reminder that a bit of rain shouldn’t keep you inside. #runsky #running

Didn’t hit my weekly target, but I’m not beating myself up. Life’s too short — onward into the week. #runsky #running

Decided I was getting out there no matter what the weather… and I’m so glad I did. Got a little wet, but still logged 13.17 km at 5:17/km. Feeling great and on top of the world. Only ~6 km left to hit my weekly target — pretty sure I’ve got this. #runsky #running

Another rainy day = another yoga day. Checked the forecast and it looks like yoga might be the main training plan for the foreseeable future. #runsky #running

Two dry days, then the rain showed up. Glad I got my runs in—but didn’t want to lose momentum, so I swapped today for some yoga: recovery + a good stretch. Good reminder: stretching is just as important as running. #runsky #running

Another run and making the most of the sort of dry weather we hve been hving this week. Managed another 11.14 KM a slight improvement from yesterdays run with a pace of 5:16/km. Feeling chuffed so I can complain #runsky #running

First run of the week. Woke up this morning telling myself I have hit my target for the week. Last week completely missed but ima blaming it on the crappy weather. Covered 11km with a pace of 5:30 not to bad. And got to enjoy the loch all by myself. Here is to a week of no excuses. #runsky #running
