Saturday lunchtime 10 mile ring run around the city centre area of #Stirling, taking in some miles on the #WilliamWallaceRunningFestival Ultra route. After a recent route change runners will now cross the historic Stirling Old Bridge instead of running past it and as you run over the bridge you can take in the fabulous views of #thenationalwallacemonument and #stirlingcastle. Only 2 weeks to go until the first @wallacerunfest #stirlingrunner #stirlingrunning #thestirlingrunner #stirling #scotland #highlandflingrace #WWRF #williamwallacerunningfestival #stirlingrunners #stirling #jogscotland #scottishrunner #ukrunchat #runphoto

events.parkinsons.org.uk/fundraisers/sc… Epic, absolutely epic…what a buzz. First 100 mile cycling event, furthest cycle I had done before today was 50 miles about 25 years ago. What a team with my friend Ally as we helped each other along the 6000 foot elevation gain course against brutal windy conditions, thankfully the rain stayed off. Now after our efforts how about we give some donations, even a few quid to @ParkinsonsUK who organised today’s event in support of this excellent charity - Ally and I would appreciate any help events.parkinsons.org.uk/fundraisers/sc…

I’m taking part in Pedal Trossachs for @ParkinsonsUK on Sunday and would really appreciate your support!  Please help by sponsoring me with whatever you can. All the money raised will go to Parkinson’s UK's physical activity and exercise programmes with the aim of helping people with Parkinson's get active and stay active.  events.parkinsons.org.uk/s/31386/40144/t

Sad News. I had correspondence and dealings with Sir George Reid and his family through business and always found him to be warm hearted and a genuine nice person to work for. His life and work in Scottish Politics was substantial, especially in the early days of the new Scottish Parliament building.

This week I signed up for a new local Ultra Marathon event taking place in October - @wallacerunfest but before that I have the daunting but exciting challenge of the 53 mile Highland @flingrace in September along the first half of the #WestHighlandWay. So that’s why today on a glorious sunny Saturday morning I travelled from #Stirling to #Balmaha to get more training miles on the famous trail by running the section between Balmaha and #Rowardennan and then returning back to Balmaha. I have now ran from the start in Milngavie to Rowardennan and in a few weeks time I will do the section south of #Tyndrum but that still leaves the hardest section along the top half of #LochLomond to contemplate attempting before race day.

Back to today though and despite a nasty fall a few miles before my return to Balmaha after I tripped over my running pole and went face first into a ditch in front of 6 walkers 🫣😂, it was a thoroughly enjoyable 15 miles with 1800 feet of much needed elevation. #twistedrunning #stirlingrunner #stirlingrunning #thestirlingrunner #scotland #WWRF #williamwallacerunningfestival #flingrace #highlandflingrace #londonmarathon2026

It was inevitable wasn’t it !!! The temptation was too much !!! @wallacerunfest 70K Ultra Marathon is now loaded and locked in. It’s my local event and my day to day running routes, which means while many things will probably go wrong on the day, at least I won’t get bloody lost and will be able to hobble or crawl home 😬 #stirlingrunner #stirlingrunning #thestirlingrunner #stirling #scotland #WWRF #williamwallacerunningfestival #stirlingrunners #ultramarathon #ultrarunner #westhighlandway #highlandflingrace #londonmarathon #londonmarathon2026

'Scurry to the Sea' A different concept running event on Sunday with a self navigate 11 miles from Hillend Ski Centre in Edinburgh to the beach at Musselburgh. Only rules were you had to pass 3 official checkpoints with the first one being at the top of a 1600ft hill. Horrible wet and windy weather but still a fantastic morning at a well organised race by @EventsScurry Self navigating through the parts of the urban area of Edinburgh was also pretty fun even though I nearly missed Checkpoint 2 - that’s what I get for following other runners rather than following the route on my watch. If you’ve not done this event and like to mix up some trail and road running then get signed up for 2026. #scurrytothesea #scurrytothesea2025

An early Saturday morning rise to avoid the worst of the hot sunny weather for another recce run on part of the new @williamwallacerunfest 50K and 70K routes. This section of the route takes in Old Stirling Bridge, crosses the River Forth towards Bridge of Allan, uphill to Cocksburn Reservoir, downhill to Stirling University and then uphill again to the epic National Wallace Monument before heading to Cambuskenneth Abbey, from there it’s only a few miles to the finish line at Stirling Cricket Ground. A mixture of trail and road running, good flat sections to help the legs after the many uphills all while surrounded by epic views and historic sites a plenty - all this awaits for those taking part in October. #stirlingrunner #stirlingrunning #thestirlingrunner #stirling #scotland #WWRF #williamwallacerunningfestival

#WilliamWallaceRunningFestival Recce 2 Back on the Ultra route with a loop from Kildean at the River Forth taking in Bridge of Allan, Cocksburn Reservoir, University of Stirling, National Wallace Monument and Cambuskenneth Abbey #stirlingrunner #stirlingrunning #thestirlingrunner #stirling #scotland #highlandflingrace #londonmarathon #londonmarathon2026 #WWRF

The Circus is in town #Stirling Photos from Thursday evening and it looked busy when I ran past it on Friday evening

New hottest day of 2025 so far. Friday 11 July #Stirling 29.2ºC stirlingweather.co.uk

Just A Few Friday Evening Miles A short Friday evening run in the 28°C at 6pm ☀️ I know I am in the minority but it’s great running in that heat. #stirlingrunner #stirlingrunning #thestirlingrunner #stirling #scotland #runner #stirlingrunners #marathon #marathontraining #ultramarathon #scottishrunner #westhighlandway #highlandflingrace #londonmarathon #londonmarathon2026 #ukrunchat #runphoto

Running outside the famous old stadium that is #HampdenPark #Glasgow #Scotland #stirlingrunner #stirlingrunning #thestirlingrunner #stirling #scotland #londonmarathon

Sunday morning running in #Stirling taking in 10 miles of the new #WilliamWallaceRunningFestival 50K & 70K route. The section of the route I ran was from mile 13(21K) through to mile 23(37K) and then another 5 miles back home off route.

This 10 mile section took in some fantastic scenic views of Stirling and the surrounding countryside as well as passing some of the famous historic sites. From Cambusbarron woods, past Stirling High School around King’s Park and Stirling Golf Course and then the climb up towards #StirlingCastle before a downhill and then uphill to take in the views from Gowan Hill. From there the route went past #StirlingBridge with views of the #NationalWallaceMonument before winding along the shoreline of the River Forth. I stopped running the route at the walkway bridge near Craigforth which crosses the River Forth before the route heads towards Bridge of Allan, instead I ran 5 miles off route back home.

Cracking Sunday early morning run. #stirlingrunner #stirlingrunning #thestirlingrunner #scotland #stirlingrunners
