So this happened tonight....deeply humbled to win this at the @sportscotland #COVawards tonight. Way too many people to thank but thank you to all those who have inspired me, challenged me and sustained me - my "critical friends" 😊 #neverstoplearning @alynswim #coaching

Red-S gets talked about A LOT but what isn't spoken about is the period after, what comes next and balancing that.

My partner has written a brilliant article for Project Red S about her experience and it's well worth a read and share! Proud of that!

The best thing I can do for Wales is handover at a moment of genuine strength so that continued success can be built on those foundations.

I feel genuine pride and fulfilment and am excited for this final chapter of the Commonwealth Games. https://t.co/RdFrIZ9osv

For what it’s worth on #londonmarathon

I don’t think it should be a two day event! I ran yesterday and being on the same course and moment as a sub 2 is pretty special

That’s the beauty from 1:59-5+ hours we are all on the same course conditions and day

It’s why it’s unique!

Women are not small men. Quite a lot of work to do. Starts with researching what equipment/spec would suit women. A few examples - the size of a rugby match ball and a football goal.

Long day, and an emotional one. Seeing this fella now, from the wee pup we took in 15 months ago, to see his progress to a big strong boy on his way to be a life changer for @guidedogs - humbling, inspiring and just amazing. A wonderful charity doing such incredible work. 🦮❤️
