No, the title of the post doesn’t relate to some recent sub 20 minute, Olympian inspired, sweat producing 5km. I’m on tenterhooks here, a creeping freeze resulting in the sort of weather that has brass monkeys anxious means a “pitch inspection” will be made at my two nearest parkruns in the morning. Inspections will be ...
A bumper parkrun at Livingston today, it was their first anniversary event, so lots of extra folk. Add in the new year resolutioners and the event broke their previous attendance record by ninety to 360. As the tailrunner today I was that number 360. Not needing to run without stopping I took the opportunity to ...
Christmas came a day early, to the little boy, in the shape of a present from Santa parkrun. Santa didn’t do all it himself, no. Assisting Santa were the Christmas Elves – Wiggle & Tribesports.

More specifically the north side of the metropolis and a place called Springburn, for their version of the parkrun experience. A jolly nice bunch they were too. I had got in touch ...
Hello, I thought I would try something slightly different today. My post is a video blog entry, taken just after I had finished running the Linwood parkrun, near Paisley. I’m a bit tired, hot and sweaty but you get the picture I’m sure. Another event done and a worthy addition to my tourism experience and ...
Bra! Note to self Too much work travel = depleted energy reserves = sleepy me So I had a late start this morning, rushing once again to get to parkrun on time. Rooting in the half dark for the required Lycra running garments resulted in me sporting a Nordic orienteering look. The only thing missing ...
This isn’t a wee story about the iconic “western”. Today it was the 7th birthday of the Edinburgh variant of parkrun. After a few weeks of feeling under the weather I am now lurgy and mucus free. Is that too much information? I was swithering with phlegm, so you got off likely. Free of lurg ...
