Beating Beethoven →
16 MAY2012
A running idea that has proved successful in Canada is set to debut in Stirling this autumn with participants attempting to complete a 5k within the time it takes to play Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. The symphony is one of the most popular and best-known compositions in all of classical music and, crucially, lasts for around 35 minutes providing an achievable target for most runners.

Scots Top In 10K →
15 MAY2012
While one of the lasting impressions of the 2012 Ignis Asset Management Women's 10K will be the stormy weather that dampened many of the runners post-race celebrations, the organisers' emphasis on home-based talent culminated in a Scottish athlete winning the event for the first time this century. Freya Murray, fresh from an incredible performance at London marathon, secured this year's title with a time of 33:36, just 5 seconds off the Scottish course record set in 2009 by Hayley Haining. Perhaps just as encouraging was the fact there were strong performances from the top three athletes, with fellow Scots Susan Partridge (34:05) taking second and Jennifer MacLean (35:58) third.

Freya Reigns In Glasgow →
13 MAY2012
Dark overcast skies greeted the thousands of runners who gathered on the south side of Glasgow for the 2012 Ignis Asset Management Women's 10K this morning. Over 10,000 women had entered the event which is the biggest only women's event in the UK and now were hoping that the threatening rain would hold off.

November Date For Southside Six →
12 MAY2012
One of the most popular introductions to the Scottish racing calendar in 2011 was the 16 mile Southside Six. The Glasgow event gets it name from its route through six of the most scenic parks on the south side of the city. The Southside Six was a sell-out last year - in fact the organisers had to extend the original entry limit - and the 2012 renewal on Sunday, November 4 is expected to attract similar demand.

Weather No Obstacle For Womens 10k →
11 MAY2012
On Thursday, the Facebook page for the Ignis Asset Management Women's 10k quoted Sir Ranulph Fiennes: "Girls, there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing." An ominous foreboding perhaps, but the 12,000 women expected to head to Glasgow this Sunday may have to adopt some of the adventurer's steely mentality with rain and strong winds predicted.

In day 12 of his London to Edinburgh challenge, Michael Nowicki set foot on Scottish ground and is on track to complete his 440 mile trip on Sunday (May 13).
