Happy Running →
25 JAN2012
If you're a runner it tends to be a way of life. Something you get used to, something you don't like to miss. It can feel like a duty sometimes, even a chore. We all know that it can be hard work. Sure it's a brilliant cardiovascular workout that gets the heart pumping and the oxygen flowing. After a long run or a hard session you feel great but you've really earned that 'feel good' factor - that sense of well-being, that beer, that big slice of chocolate cake.

New Year is a time when running and exercise generally takes a notable upturn in participants. The introspection which comes at the end of the year - often with a dash of alcohol - is a potent cocktail for those wanting to go about a little self-improvement.

Is Running Bad? →
15 DEC2011
Is marathon running bad for you? According to wider media reports based on an on-line article in the European Heart Journal, then yes, it probably is. But dig a little deeper through the UK national media's sensationalist headlines and then no, it probably isn't.

Never On A Sunday →
7 DEC2011
For most race organisers, Sunday is an event day. Each month the UK race calendar is packed with 10k races, half marathons, marathons and every other kind of endurance events. The overwhelming majority are held on a Sunday. Indeed during November 2011, of the 107 events on the Run Britain calendar, 84 of them were staged on a Sunday.

Rory McGinley's news posting of November 14 on the Marcothon caused quite a bit of discussion in the SCOTTISH RUNNING GUIDE office. Running every day in December - a minimum of 3 miles or 25 minutes whichever comes first. No day off on the 25th or on New Year's Eve, no day off even if the roads are ice-bound.

Autumn Joys →
16 NOV2011
Nights are drawing in aren't they? It's an observation most of us have probably heard in recent weeks. It's rarely done with a smile either. People are saying that this is not a good thing - it's getting colder, it's getting darker. I can understand their position entirely, but as a runner I see it from a totally different vantage point.
