Out a really good training run with one of the first lads I’ve looked after.

Gavin Thomson - Helping you Move Well. Think Well has already taken down Devil O the Highlands Footrace race this year. I can’t wait to crew him along side Robbie Simpson for Highland Fling Race

He is in good form and head seems in the right place.

Really enjoyed your company today Gav on a good training run.

🤜🤛

Always a nice night!! 🎆

What a brilliant wee holiday we have just had.

Me Alison Darling and the girls have just spent the better part of six days down Sands of Luce Holiday Park caravan park. We absolutely loved it. A beautiful park with a cracking bar/ restaurant The Lighthouse. Bar & Restaurant @ Sands of Luce.

Life is so unbelievably busy at times, we all feel that. This was such a peaceful trip with visits to Portpatrick, Mull of Golloway light house, Logan Botanic Garden Castle Kennedy Gardens

I feel we really got to make the most of our trip. One more day off tomorrow and it’s back to work but I do feel I got exactly what I wanted from this break, Alison and the girls loved it and Lulu had the best time too.

Big thank you to Sandie Pow and kapowski99 for letting us use their caravan, honestly it was much appreciated. If you’ll let us we will defo be back 🤜🤛💙

Recharge complete we go again!! 🔋

That’s me signing off for a little family recharge. 🪫-🔋

Taking some time to slow down, switch off, and enjoy some quality time with the family.

If you message me and I don’t respond, don’t worry — I’ll pick it up when I’m back.

For now, it’s time to relax, recharge and make some memories. 😎☀️

Had a brilliant day yesterday 🏔️🔥
Headed to the Ochil Hills for the 50km ultra with Maverick Race

I wasn’t 100% race-ready, so the plan was to use this as a really tough training day — and the route absolutely delivered. A proper test from start to finish.

This year I made a promise to myself that I wanted to see more of Scotland. We’ve got so much right on our doorstep that we probably take for granted.

So far this year I’ve raced on Arran, gone top to bottom on Skye, ticked off 3 Munros, and now explored some of the hills around Stirling. And there’s still plenty of the year left.

Next up, a wee trip down to Portpatrick this week.

Massive well done to my mate Eubi Robertson , who took on his first ultra yesterday. That is one hell of a route for your first 50k — absolutely brutal in places. Proud of you mate 🙌🏻🔥

Now it’s time to turn the focus to my final big race of the year…

Let’s see what’s left in the legs. 🏃🏻‍♂️💨

Every now and then, as a coach, you get a moment that makes you stop and smile—and today was one of those moments.

Over the past 8 weeks, Yvonne has been putting in the work on her wall ball shots. When we first started, she found it difficult to consistently hit depth and the movement itself was a challenge.

Since then, we’ve focused on technique, hitting the correct depth, and simply getting the reps in.
Today, everything started to click. Not only was she consistently hitting depth, but she’s also become so much stronger in the movement that she successfully completed several reps with a 6kg wall ball for the first time.

It’s a reminder that progress doesn’t happen overnight—it comes from showing up, trusting the process, and putting in the work.

I’m incredibly proud of you, Yvonne. It’s been amazing to watch your confidence grow, and even better to see how much you’re enjoying your training.

Keep going—this is only the beginning.
