I wrote this but didn’t publish, thinking it too negative or not relevant. But as I’m awake at 4am I feel different and as this is a personal blog I write mainly for me I thought it best to come out of the drafts. Those stats, released by Strava as your 2021 in numbers, were… Read more: 2021: the year I hardly ran
As I sit here looking at the red sunrise, warm and comfortable on a plane at 20,000ft I reminisce about the three days Bikepacking I’ve just completed. Not 24hrs ago I was packing up the tent in a chance break in the rain that had been persistent since 5am. I’d boiled water for breakfast through… Read more: Bikepacking Perth to Oban, Scotland
Note: this is not a scientific blog and it’s mainly about the progress of my PF but also the mental effects of rest. As I write I’m tentatively upbeat about my heel pain that I’ve self diagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis (PF). It’s been 8 weeks since the onset. From the hobbling about pain in the… Read more: Plantar Fasciitis- healing the heel
January Virtual Spine got me, I got PF, a soreness in the ankle. It was either the snow, ice, wearing spikes, and/or the increase in mileage that got me. The pain was horrible at first. Hobbling out of bed in the mornings, but slowly stretching the pain would ease. To the point that walking was… Read more: Plantar Fasciitis Yo-yo
Lockdown is rubbish eh? I live in Edinburgh, Scotland where we’ve been bound by law to stay within our council boundary since November. Before that, it was asked of us to do so and we did. As someone who likes to run and ride long and to visit places, it’s been a bit claustrophobic. I… Read more: Escape – An emergency day off.
A day off timed right with October sunshine saw me head to East Lothian. I was dead chuffed with this route. It seemed to have everything. Forest, beach, hills, open farmland, cliffs, rocks, some road and some lovely wooded trails. I parked at Binning Wood, a place where I’m sure I will return to, and… Read more: Easy East Lothian
I love data. And I especially love being told good things. So when they go hand in hand it’s a good thing. Like getting back from an awesome run where you feel like you’ve put a bit of effort in only to look down at your watch proclaiming to you that your training is “unproductive”.… Read more: Garmin and it’s lies 🤷♂️
Another day in the Cairngorms was too hard to pass up with mountains of holiday to take. I hatched a plan and Ronnie was up for it too. The plan was to set off at Kingussie and cycle though Glen Tromie, through the Gaick pass and down to Glen Garry to pick up the A9… Read more: Glen Tromie Kingussie Circuit
It sounds so grand, doesn’t it. Hard to work out how to pronounce I guess. La-Rig Gr-roo or something like that. It sounds better in a Scots accent than my Geordie. Grand in sound, grand in nature. I’d heard of this pass through the mountains a long time ago, perhaps because of its height, almost… Read more: Through the Lairig Ghru
We’re half way, or so we thought, as Ian and I were sitting on a bench in the warm sun in Altyh we were contemplating the reasons why we’d chosen to do this over a single day and not stuck with the original plan of a 2 day adventure. It might have been entirely my… Read more: Running The Cateran Trail
It’s been 12 years since I last came here, our plan then was to hike half way to Braemar, camp and then hike out the next day. It’s a popular mountain pass. At only 40km it is also not very long. Back then I wasn’t much of a runner but I was beginning to start… Read more: Glen Tilt to Linn of Dee
The forecast was for mist in the morning and cloudy at lunchtime with a Yellow weather warning for heavy rain from 1pm. It’s 8am and I’m at Ardgay on the Dornoch Firth. The tide is out so the mudflats are all to be seen of the tide. This tidal Firth stretches miles inland from the… Read more: Scotland Coast to Coast
Me, like quite a lot of runners and cyclists are on Strava. I’ve been on it since the early days, I can’t remember when but I remember when that was it was easy to get KoMs around Edinburgh and beyond. I used to make segments and hunt them down. Getting a KoM was a bit… Read more: Strava PRs…
North Mull We spent Hogmanay on the Isle of Mull. A winter retreat to a remote part of the country. Not too remote, we stayed in Tobermory, a relatively busy place as Island settlements go.

Where has all the running gone I often blog when I’m injured. Call it a release of sorts. I picked up a dodgy foot/ ankle in a race at the end of August but this was probably just where it eventually gave way, I’d been carrying something for a long time. I’m slowly getting back… Read more: Where has the running gone…
Returning from injury is always done tentatively. Do you risk it? Stepping out the door my senses were sharp, feeling everything. My toes, my metatarsals, my knees, everything. Every ache, muscle contraction and landing with my foot analysed to the n’th degree. Autumn has arrived since being off, those 4 weeks of not running were… Read more: Heightened senses returning to running
Well, it’ll actually be around 105km by the time I’m complete. The simple answer to this is because I want to. I’ve never ran this distance before in any shape or form. My longest distance ran was 85km Glasgow to Edinburgh and the next distance down from that was 72km on Cape Wrath Ultra. So… Read more: Why am I running 100km?
I’ve become a sloppy runner. I don’t know if others who run ultras get like this or if it is just me but I don’t really have a training plan, nor do I try to fit in runs. I run occasionally during the week but long at the weekends with no set distance. Perhaps because… Read more: Remembering the running tricks

Planning the WHW would have been easier if it had been “in season” however I decided to do it in the off season due to work commitments and left over holidays. 96miles / 155km is some feat.

I had one too many beers last night and was talking a bit backward so decided to go to bed early at 8:30! I was chatting to the Dutch guy I’d met who was walking it.

I wake in an empty hostel, no one it seems came in last night and I didn’t see the ranger again. I made coffee and went up to my room. It’s still dark.

I’ve got my feet up and drinking tea. I’m not long out of the bath. I’m the only one in Ardress Lodge and I feel relaxed. Today was fun, I started the day in Edinburgh and caught an early bus to Glasgow and an Uber to Milngavie. Here I started to run the West Highland… Read more: WHW West Highland Way day 1
Excited and scared in equal measure, that’s my current feeling. Normally with something like this I’d be pouring over maps, worrying about kit, debating food choice, panicking about fitness. But no, nothing like it this time. Perhaps a bit complacency has crept in since finishing Cape Wrath I’ve felt invincible. I’m not. Perhaps foolishly my… Read more: Do what scares you, right?
I love linking up traffic free trails together to make longer trail runs possible with the least amount of miles on tarmac as possible. There’s a great trail that used to be an old railway line that connects Kirkliston and S.Queensferry. The only problem is, it goes to Kirkliston and onto the Newbridge roundabout. It’s… Read more: River Almond – Edinburgh Airport
I can’t remember when I last entered a race where I ran flat out, at threshold, for a sustained period of time. Perhaps it was the Nocturnal Ultra where I ran 5km laps as a relay. I went flat out then, but knew I needed to save myself for other laps ahead. The Antonine Trail… Read more: Fast paced for me: Antonine Trail Race Report
I swear there’s only one Cuckoo alive in the UK and that cuckoo followed us from Fort William to Cape Wrath. ALL-THE-WAY!

The song I mainly have in my head right now is “no no, no no no no, no no no no, there’s no limits” Why did you enter Cape Wrath? The answer is complex. I mean, I’ve stated many times that my reasons were to; see the beauty of that part of Scotland; to challenge… Read more: Limits

Twelve Months in the planning and it is only 2 days until I start. HOW? How did it get so soon? My mind is doing the typical thing of flipping between being really excited to flutters of butterflies. It means I really care about this race. The phantom injuries have started to show themselves. Niggles… Read more: 2 days to go… until I start running 400kms
A trip away with work that is. The same week I need to get my head into the zone. Visualising aspects of the race. Not that it is a race but more a challenge. (If you’re new to this blog then I plan on running 400kms). If I weren’t full time employed things would be… Read more: I could do without this…
8 days remain. The same number of days I will be running for. Excited but scared. I’ve been fighting a cold. This always happens when I wind down. Whether tapering or working, as soon as I take the foot off the accelerator I get ill. Being run down is inevitable after a training regimen that… Read more: 8 days remain
I swear I pack less when I go on holiday for 2 weeks, but I have just packed 20kgs of running stuff that I need and may need for 8 days of running. I could have gone primal, one set of running clothes, limited hill food supplies and perhaps a toothbrush. I haven’t. The event… Read more: Packing for 8 days of running
Some more musings of a tapering ultra runner… Shhh! Don’t tell anyone. But I am just like you. I am not different and don’t have any natural ability. I have run for the good part of 10 years. In that time I have struggled through running a sub 40min 5 km to burning out on… Read more: I am not superhuman
13 days and I will be running in my first ever multistage/ multi-day run which will cover 400kms in 8 days. The Cape Wrath Ultra is a beast but an epic adventure too. As my training subsides to the taper I am afforded the time to sit, ponder, and think. Below is a list of… Read more: Thoughts from a tapering ultra runner…
As I stare out to the calm Forth, I’m reminiscing about my training. It is hard to believe that I’m just two weeks from starting this adventure. From signing up about a year ago, I can’t think where that time has gone, no, what training I have done. I have trained, I have failed to… Read more: 2 weeks to go..
Travelling with work is ‘tough’, it’s usually early starts, long days, travelling itself takes its toll. A lot of walking and a lot of thinking usually. Proactively I have limited my travelling in the weeks leading up to the race, with a hope I will reach Fort William rested and ready to tackle the race. … Read more: 19 days to go…
But how does one Taper for a multi day event? 3 weeks to go! Having run a final hard run of the training, that didn’t exactly go to plan (more on that run below), I find myself in an unplanned Taper. As usual, my training is largely winging it, though I cross that with running… Read more: Pentland Skyline and the taper is FINALLY here!
I think if I knew what it would take to plan a multi-stage race before I entered, I think I might have thought twice, but probably enter anyway. I guess most of the challenges that I set myself, always start with a bit of naivety. This 8 day venture from Fort William to Cape Wrath… Read more: Planning for an 8 day ultra!
If you’re a runner or someone who competes for fun or even for glory you will have at some point witnessed the highs of your chosen sport. In running this is often called the runner’s high. That feeling of elation, joy and maybe even of floating. The many instagram photos and twitter posts of runners… Read more: The darker side of being a runner
And just as the world was looking up and I wrote a blog about confidence I only go and get injurated*. 😦 *new word I slipped on a paving stone and fell to my knee. This didn’t seem bad at the time. Just a wet knee and dented ego. The run home that evening was… Read more: Confidence broken
I’ve had some doubts of late whether I’d be able to complete this 8day Ultra in May. My usual visualisation of the race that I do to mentally prepare myself has not been happening. I guess I’m not letting myself think or dream that I can do it as I’m not so sure I can.… Read more: Confidence Herring Road
I stretched the 80km over 5 days fairly evenly. Partly as I was due to be travelling this weekend but also because the snow came and I wanted to run in it! I’ve had some awesome runs in snow this week. It changes everything. The scenery, the workout, the approach to running and my ankles… Read more: An 80km week
It’s been a few months since my lovely hybrid got stolen from me by a deranged idiot* and I’ve still not replaced him. I could say it’s because I’m busy and there are SO many options out there but I think in reality it’s because I’ve been focussed on my running. My Facebook memories have… Read more: I miss my bike
This week I reached a total of 75 km in training which is by far my furthest of this training cycle. It’s been a good week of being able to get out and enjoy running. I’m getting the old niggles of long distance running rear their heads so I’m going to try to get more… Read more: Huge training week
Bleak. Bleak was the scene that I found myself in. I’d convinced myself that I was clearly invincible and that shorts were also a good idea. The forecast was for heavy rain between 5am and 11am then sun. Couple that with 46mph gusts I thought it would be fine. I needed an early run to… Read more: It was one of those runs I wished I hadn’t started
Who doesn’t right? Now I’m in Ultra mode, and training, I’m getting excited about long training runs and have begun to dream of mini adventures to while away a day on my feet training.

I’ve made a plan! It’s not very extensive, or full, or complete, but it is there! The colours relate to where I can and can’t run. Fitting ultra training around a job, holidays, days out at the rugby and life is hard, so I find it useful to mark when I can and can’t run. … Read more: 16 Week Plan… done!
With a new found confidence I’m declaring I’m a runner again. My body feels beaten up and I’m sore all over but I reckon I’m back. Why this sudden confidence I hear you cry? 2 things: I raced last night. I raced 5 x 5kms. Yep that’s 5kms, 5 times, in the same night.… Read more: I’m back (I think)
I read that ultra training is mainly spending time on your feet. And learning to run fatigued. So today I did just that. I’d ran last night, a swift 5km, then had 3 beers at the pub (was working away). My colleague convinced me a 6am run would be good so I naturally agreed and… Read more: Time on feet
So here it is. I’m laying it all bare. Before you get too excited it’s pretty “bore off” territory. You’d think that a person who this year has run 2 ultras and an iron distance ish duathlon may not suffer from this. Nay, the guy who ran a 20:07 5Km just last week. But I’ve… Read more: Kinda like a sports bra but for my belly
I suck at both of these. Like, really, I’m shit. I may be able to run over hills and long distances but I am not flexible. My lack of flexibility and core strength is what gives me injuries.

It was 7pm, I was descending the West Highland Way into Glen Nevis, the Ben in front obscured by thick cloud. In my head I was debating the pros and cons of heading up the Ben.

Injurated. Pah! That was so last week! The fact I’m writing this whilst wide awake at 3am, after being on an after work drink binge, probably tells you how I’m feeling.

I’ve been following the Cape Wrath Ultra on social media, from the 2016 race to the chatter it got.

It certainly has my… Read more: Obsessing
I have to say that I was amazed to get zero blisters whilst running Glasgow to Edinburgh. I put it down to merino wool socks and hard feet. I was even more amazed that my toenails stayed in tact too. I’ve always lost two or three after an ultra. And this was my longest by… Read more: Post ultra feet

This title was the only reason I ran this race. I have to admit that the canal towpath, as lovely as car-free places are, did not fill me with much excitement* ahead of the run.

I’m setting out in 2 weeks time to run 56 miles. That’s 90km. That’s a long way. I’ve been starting to visualise the run. Walk through it mentally, figure out what and how I’ll be feeling in order to prepare myself. This challenge will be more mental than physical. I will hurt. I will be… Read more: 2 weeks
Yesterday I wrote how I raced before I ran my long Saturday run, and here is that run’s low down. Ultra running can be a lonely sport, miles and miles put in, often solitary plodding on in your own little world. So when planning this run, I was glad to have had a hundred or… Read more: The run after the race…
I was nervous starting race 6 of Foxtrail’s winter series. Nervous not about the race but about the pace I’d inevitably run it in. Back when I entered this I had planned to run it, then the next day get my long run in. Planning ultra training is hard. But as usual plans change and… Read more: To race or not to race?

It’s not going well, I mean, I’ve been running and running a lot but 56miles is quite far and after just 22miles today, my legs were ready to drop off.

When people say “adventure” it brings up connotations of super long journeys over unexplored lands, mountains and oceans but more and more people are challenging that thought.

Ive been withering for so long without a plan or an idea that actually I’d lost focus. Don’t get me wrong, I like running without a plan, feeling my way around the trails and being spontaneous.

Wow, what a year 2016 was. With all the real life things that were going on, my running and adventures seemed to be overwhelmingly successful.

My festive streak has given me a great opportunity to run to work everyday. The journey is 6km and takes about 30 mins which isn’t bad.

The clouds hang low over the city, illuminated by the lights creating a monochrome view. The vast darkness spreads out where nature is king and wild things roam, making noises as I disturb them. Running in this environment helps me learn, think, and reflect on the day. My own planet earth II in my back… Read more: The dark wood reflection
I’m not sure what has possessed me but I’m running every day in the month of December. I think this has partly come about due to work being mental, and the need for me to destress on a run has encouraged me to do this. I also need to get back into running and thought… Read more: #FestiveRunStreak
Those days you wake up and you’re not feeling 100%, and you find any excuse not to run. Sunday was one of those days. I’d not slept the best and a mild sore throat lingered. I needed to get a long run in, and one on the trails too which meant heading to the Pentland… Read more: An unexpected run
I consider myself a long distance runner, though in the past few weeks, I’ve done very little suffering from that post race binge. My technique these days resorts to the ultra way of doing things such as walking up a hill, which you can get away with if you’re on a 50+km run. Not so… Read more: Pushing my pace
