Week 2, day 2. 4km at conversational pace (shorter distance as i'm going up to 4 runs this week). I'm really enjoying following a proper running plan, it's keeping me motivated and focused on my goal of confidently tackling a 10km next year. @RunComPod

Week 2, day 1. Intervals session for 5k on a cold, misty evening. It was so cold that i had to wear gloves and a jacket for the full run. Winter is certainly upon us, and time to make sure I go on well-lit routes with other runners about.@RunComPod @SStrath58072

Day 3, Week 1 - a trip up to St Andrews parkrun with @SStrath58072 and @abigail_s77. Really fab parkrun, 3 laps (had to keep count on my fingers 🤣) flattish. 2 seconds over my PB, so will need to go back to conquer it! @RunComPod

Day 2 of Week 1
Today's plan was 5km at conversational pace, which went well. No one to converse with so just tried to keep my pace steady. Bit icy though so had to alter my planned route. Anyone got tips on how to manage icy conditions? @RunComPod

Having had apprx 4 weeks off due to injury, i'm now back running with a target of confidently tackling a 10k next year. Thanks to James who has designed a training plan for me to reach my goal. Day 1 of week 1 was intervals for 5km, enjoyed it, happy to be back @RunComPod

Having struggled all week with a heavy cold, I didn't manage any running so decided to volunteer as tailwalker at Plean countrypark, while @SStrath58072 and @abigail_s77 ran. Still managed to finish in 45th place in 51mins46. @RunComPod

Another parkrun PB! Mindset changed when I realised that I needed to get out of my comfort-zone, and realised that I could push beyond what I thought were my limits. Always helps when @SStrath58072, Abigail and James come and escort me in on the last km! @RunComPod

[Suzy Strath @StrathSuzy]

Another tourism parkrun ticked off, and I continued my run of parkrun pb's knocking another 4 seconds off. Prior to April I was sitting consistently anywhere between 42 - 45mins but have started chipping away and now 37mins44. New mindset locked in... @RunComPod

Breaking news…

[Suzy Strath @StrathSuzy]

@PaulTonkinson @SStrath58072 @RunComPod My times have gotten quicker in the last month because Stewart comes to find me on the route once he's finished his parkrun, and encourages me along for the last km. It seems to work well and have seen a great improvement in my times.

[Suzy Strath @StrathSuzy]

@SStrath58072 @RunComPod You wait 8 years for a pb.....and then another one pops along after 2 weeks 🤣

[Suzy Strath @StrathSuzy]

@SStrath58072 @RunComPod Flying the flag for the joggers out there!

[Suzy Strath @StrathSuzy]

@ScotRail Just wondering the expected timescale for reinstating the normal timetable on Edinburgh to Glasgow via Shotts line? Still one an hour and i'm having to alter working hours to manage without the 4.58pm.

Happy New Year! Kicked off 2025 with a trip to Auldcathie District Parkrun. First time running the new course, despite the freezing rain, sleet & multiple puddles I really enjoyed it. The drive home in blizzard conditions was less fun (photo taken by my navigator). @RunComPod

[Abigail Strath @abigail_s77]

First run back after injury just in time for @AthTrustScot Scottish Running Week! 4km to to start off (featuring @scotathletics YPF kit!) but all for a good cause.

Auldcathie District Parkrun this morning for Suzy & me where we met fellow @RunComPod listener Kerry who was barcode scanning. 22:21 for me which is a Parkrun & 5k PB (28 secs and 4 secs quicker respectively).

@DeeringRob It's a Strath family favourite, we'll be watching it tonight!

[Rob Deering @DeeringRob]

If you’re at home of an evening and in need of festive company, I’m hosting The Comedy Club on @BBCRadio4Extra every night from 10 til midnight. Join me, it’d be lovely to have you and there’ll be lots of Christmassy treats.

[Suzy Strath @StrathSuzy]

Amazing night at the Kings, Glasgow! Absolutely full house! Really looking forward to Uncanny at the Queen's Hall Edinburgh tomorrow night. Full on spooky theatre weekend 😀🥰

@ClassicFM @CharlotteHawkns Jet loving the relaxing music, chilled out. Hates fireworks but the music is wonderful and he hasn't even noticed the noises outside. Thank you!
