Running or planning my next run or having a beer

An easy paced 5k but with some nice negative splits this morning. Every run is a positive when you are looking for PBs at the end of the training rainbow. @RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

Interval session to start the day. 5 x 4 mins plus 1 x 6 mins with 45 secs recovery. Onwards! @RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

@RunComPod Eventually 😂

Sunday evening entertainment. @PaulTonkinson excellent, insightful and humorous book with age appropriate musical accompaniment. @RunComPod

A stop-start run round Dechmont with Race Director Fraser for a signage recce ahead of our LRC trail races. I managed to trip & fall to add a bit of excitement to proceedings. Slight graze to my knee. The nettle stings from where I landed were worse 😆 @RunComPod

A beautiful morning at Beecraigs Country Park Parkrun with Abbie, James and Suzy. The first 2kms uphill doesn't get any easier 😂 but I took 2 mins off my time from 2 weeks ago so that's a course PB. @RunComPod

Glorious sunny evening for a chatty 10k with Pob. Sunglasses and factor 50 my essential pieces of kit. @RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

Very easy paced 5k in the sunshine. Heavy legs and snotty nose do not make for a quick run. It's kms/miles on the legs at least. Now to sit in the garden until the football starts. @RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

@GBSticks11 @RunComPod Not this year. Yorkshire Marathon in October again for me and GNR for Abbie and I in September are the big ones in our race calendar. I take it you are running the marathon tomorrow? Good luck and kept hydrated!

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

Warm and sunny at Edinburgh Parkrun this morning with Abbie and James. Cracking start to the weekend. @RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

@GBSticks11 @RunComPod Oh no. Portobello is a lovely course. Would have been a bit busy today though

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

LRC Social Run this evening. A recce of the Dechmont Trail Races 10k route, chatting with friends and ice lollies at the end. Great fun. @RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

@PaulTonkinson @RunComPod Fun and character building 😆

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

Great fun this evening running the Balerno Rigg Race with Abbie. 2 miles of continuous climbing, 1 mile level-ish, 3 miles down hill to finish for the most bling medal & a great buffet. @RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

Very excited with today's purchase. When I was asked if I would like a receipt I politely declined as I believe there are no refunds @PaulTonkinson
@RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

Kicked off my birthday celebrations a trip to Beecraigs Parkrun. My 51st different Parkrun location. Scenic and hilly fun with the family. @RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

@PaulTonkinson @RunComPod New build, countryside location, good road access and on the main power grid.

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

On my evening walk with the dog I spotted this. Has someone left an offering to Mother Nature, or a trap for trail runners, or tried to fence two stolen sausage rolls that they found to be too hot to handle? @RunComPod

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

@PaulTonkinson @RunComPod We also saw a lamp post for sale. 2026 is proving to strange and wonderfully mysterious 😆

[Stewart Strath @SStrath58072]

5k progressively quicker each km to kickoff the weekend. Plus new episodes of @RunComPod to enjoy. Fun times
