Its been a busy and funny old week. I've kept training away since the Cambuslang 10k, but this week saw me disappearing to London, turning V45 then attempting to run a fast Half Marathon at Alloa. Wednesday and Thursday were spent down at Borehamwood/ Elstree. You may remember that I went for an audition, well … Continue reading From Elstree to PB. The Alloa half marathon 2016

Down by the river – parkrun and Cambuslang 10k
come join the party at http://www.facebook.com/markgallmac It all begin innocently with a comment from Jim, the legend in lycra. "We should provide the volunteers for parkrun". We had a wee chat about it and realised just how many of us had started our running with a wee visit to Strathclyde Park on a Saturday … Continue reading Down by the river – parkrun and Cambuslang 10k
The shoe must go on (feat Strathclyde parkrun and the naked rambler)
Please subscribe for blogs as they happen, or "like" at http://www.facebook.com/markgallmac A mixed week, a funny week, a week where I tried to chuck (at least) a training session, a week where I hit parkrun again, and a week where Tommy blamed the trainer (thank you Ewen Cameron for this and more puns ;)) after … Continue reading The shoe must go on (feat Strathclyde parkrun and the naked rambler)
Who are you? (doo do doo do)
Well my running still sadly lacking as I've had a foot problem to go along with the (easing) back issues, so not much to report there. A slow couple of miles to test the foot today, and came out of that one ok, so will see how it goes over the next few days. This … Continue reading Who are you? (doo do doo do)
Wouldn’t it be nice
Note that these are the personal views of an old bitter man who has seen better days, and not the views of Motherwell AC, Mark Yardley or the IOC. As usual it's all subjective and what's good to me is poor for others, and what's poor for me is good for others. Etc. Want my … Continue reading Wouldn’t it be nice

You snooze, you lose, to that man Hughes.
Disclaimer moved from bottom to top to make this totally clear and transparent: This is all tongue in cheek and I have had (for me) a brilliant and enjoyable season. Well done to all who took part in all the championships this season, and especially those who, like me, exceeded their expectations. For all of … Continue reading You snooze, you lose, to that man Hughes.
Down but not yet out
Note: these are my personal views, and not those of Motherwell AC, Scottish Athletics or Jax Teller. As I had said previously I am currently waiting for NHS physio due to ongoing problems. Thinking I can at least manage to run moderately whilst I am waiting I put myself forward for selection for the MAC … Continue reading Down but not yet out
The Boy Racers
Did a couple for runs this week. Not very well. Got hammered in the club run, and did a very slow one on my own. Hopefully with my painkillers working I can do the LAAA 4 k road relay on Saturday. I am down in the bottom team and I think doing the last leg … Continue reading The Boy Racers
On the Road – a personal review of 2015
The usual disclaimer: Running, like many sports, is all relative. What is a good run to me can be a bad run to others and vice versa. This is my blog and these my views. Cheers blogpeeps. After a week where I couldn't even put weight on my right leg due to back pain let … Continue reading On the Road – a personal review of 2015
