New blog. Even when we get it wrong we get to go again. "Aye I was annoyed last week, not with the world, not with running, not even with still not understanding the finale of “Lost” all those years ago but simply with myself."
Behind the Glass – Strathclyde parkrun, Shettleston OGM and the Scottish Masters 10,000m
As I have said before, running can be a funny business unless you are reading this blog. I'll try and keep the heavy stuff as brief as I can as I could probably do a 200,000 word thesis on the peculiarities of the Gallacher Heid, but I will save that for open university. Last blog … Continue reading Behind the Glass – Strathclyde parkrun, Shettleston OGM and the Scottish Masters 10,000m
Fifteen Minutes – Shettleston OGM 3000m 2019
None in two months then two in a week. I know what am I like with these blogs? First of all a big thanks to all who commented across all social medias on Sunday’s blog, really appreciated, abuse was at a minimum which is always nice 🙂 So having had my first race in ages … Continue reading Fifteen Minutes – Shettleston OGM 3000m 2019
Human Racing – a round up to the Paisley 10k 2019
It's been a while. Two months off. Not off running, but writing a blog. I do have some reasons, some good, some not so good, some justifiable, and I actually didn't know if I would ever do another, or if I ever felt like doing another. I don't even know if I will finish this … Continue reading Human Racing – a round up to the Paisley 10k 2019
Gritty Shaker/ Icing on the cake – Men’s 10k and Brian Goodwin 10k 2019
The body is a peculiar thing it really is. In so many of my posts and blogs it has been all about the head and how it reacted blah blah blah, and yes the mental aspect of the sport and what we do is crucial but sometimes it’s not the be all and end all. … Continue reading Gritty Shaker/ Icing on the cake – Men’s 10k and Brian Goodwin 10k 2019
A different Bob/ The Kick inside of me – BMC GAA Miler meet and CSSAL 3000m
Another week and some more track. After last week’s lung busting mile it was back to the 3000 to see if I could chip away at the 10.09 I set a few weeks back and try and get near that holy grail of sub 10 minutes. Why do I pick these targets that are so … Continue reading A different Bob/ The Kick inside of me – BMC GAA Miler meet and CSSAL 3000m
Try Try Try / Close to me – Cambuslang DBTR 10K and Stirling Monument Mile
There's a common theme all the way through this blog which takes in two very different disciplines. I can't deny that for me I have been running really well recently and I am also well aware that with my age in particular I am going to hit that brick wall soon and the progress will … Continue reading Try Try Try / Close to me – Cambuslang DBTR 10K and Stirling Monument Mile
Seconds – The Drumpellier 5k 2019
OK let’s cut to the chase. If you are one of those ones who has indeed found me irritating in the past then I warn you, this one will have you reaching for the markgallmac voodoo doll or for the keyboard to proclaim your indignation at my attitude under a catchy nom de plume. Oh … Continue reading Seconds – The Drumpellier 5k 2019
Something for the Weekend – Scottish 5k and LAAA 3000m OGM
Apologies first of all, as due to my utter daftness in running two races in three days at my age it's a longer blog, a mixed up blog, and no doubt an overlong tedious blog. I'm not Ello, but he's still out there, so stop pining. If you say his name three times into a … Continue reading Something for the Weekend – Scottish 5k and LAAA 3000m OGM
My Old Man said follow the plan – a London Marathon guest blog
Marko says: Aye this is my blog but it’s not solely about me, it’s about the running I’m involved in and the people I run with too. I’ve been delighted to follow the progress of Mark “Ello” Ellis since he joined MAC, a top lad and someone who has improved so much over the last … Continue reading My Old Man said follow the plan – a London Marathon guest blog
