Five months ago I gave birth to our daughter, Mara. After a successful induction due to Mara being both 9 days past her due date and an IVF baby I had a natural birth. Unfortunately, due to Mara's size and speed she arrived after making us wait so long I had to have a surgical … Continue reading Postpartum April 2023
Memories of John Kynaston
Race review from 42 mile Devil o' the Highlands
I do not enter that many races, partly because I have moved around lot the past 2 years so I rarely planned far ahead. Also because I tend not to enter races to be competitive, and for a lot of races, well that is the point. I find races are, however, a good way to … Continue reading Race Director, The Tyndrum 24
The WHWrace still haunts me and nearly a year on and I still have not found my footing again.

I had not intended to enter the 2018 Fling, with the West Highland Way race in the same year. Back in 2016 it took me 6 weeks to recover enough to even want to run again. I was scared I could not recover in time for the WHWrace, just 8 weeks later. Neil my Chief Crewman, … Continue reading Highland Fling 2018 Race Reflections
My longest training run will be the Highland Fling on Saturday at 53miles (eep!). I will use the race to practise my WHW race pacing so it will not be a PB (must put my ego away and not race!!). Racing at WHWrace pace will allow me to estimate realistically my splits for my crew … Continue reading Highland Fling 53 mile footrace!
