The last wee blog had me running through the trees unscathed, but the real question was going to be whether I could sustain that. But before that, remember this wee blog is nominated for the running awards. If you felt you would like to vote it’s under publications and online/ blog. markgallmac – the most irritating … Continue reading Build – Including cake, Blackpool prom and Strathclyde parkrun 378

Standing next to me/ Mental – Livi 1500 and part parkrun
Disclaimer: No blog posts, tweets, Facebook posts for ages. I know. It's been a rough running time. A lot doesn't make sense. I have no rhyme reason or logic. But all I can do is explain how I am at a certain point in time. Many of you won't in a million years get how what … Continue reading Standing next to me/ Mental – Livi 1500 and part parkrun
Everybody needs a holiday – feat Linwood 1500m and Strathclyde parkrun 361
Disclaimer: I am a sham amongst bloggers. Two races this week and not a single race pic. Or warm up pic. Or even arm round other runners pre race. Must try harder. Real bloggers think ahead. Still winging it 🙂 So I had planned a couple of races prior to going off on holiday. Couple … Continue reading Everybody needs a holiday – feat Linwood 1500m and Strathclyde parkrun 361
We hate it when our friends become successful – includes strathclyde parkrun 355
Disclaimer : Long title, short blog. And the title is totally tongue in cheek. Calm that ire and don't judge me 🙂 Tell me honestly, how do you feel when your pals are running better than you? The marathon seems so long ago, but as of writing it was only two weeks ago. The first week I … Continue reading We hate it when our friends become successful – includes strathclyde parkrun 355
When Love breaks down – Cambuslang 10k and pacing parkrun
http://www.facebook.com/markgallmac Twitter: @vanhaddock Disclaimer : these are the rants of a man who found out this week that he has the hands of an extra large woman. Some may find that good, some may find that bad. If you find that arousing then I'm scared. So last week had ended on a bad run. And … Continue reading When Love breaks down – Cambuslang 10k and pacing parkrun
Mystery- Including Strathclyde parkrun 342
Mysteries aren't always bad. It's not just turning up at the same hotel as Jessica Fletcher and someone being killed and you getting the blame. Or five kids and a dog having scones for tea as the travelling fairground workers are led away by Officer Goon. A mystery can be good. Like how did that … Continue reading Mystery- Including Strathclyde parkrun 342
Estuvo Bien – Strathclyde parkrun 311 25/6/2016
Well, all being well tomorrow I am off on holiday. Need to do my packing very soon so this will be a quick blog. Hoping next week to do the Paris parkrun if time allows.

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)
The end of part 1 and Strathclyde park run 261
After last Sunday's 10k I decided to see how training went during the week, and see if I felt like finishing off the first half of the season with a parkrun. Tuesday's session was a mad hill one with 3 x 100m 200m 300m 400m with a jog down recovery. It was a brutal session, … Continue reading The end of part 1 and Strathclyde park run 261
