On Saturday Stuart Waugh made his way to Strathclyde Park to try the new parkrun but probably found it testing as there was a strong breeze around central Scotland on Saturday
Even with this Stuart still posted a good time of 19:52 breaking the 20 min barrier with a performance rating of 81.46% and finishing in 12th place.
In the afternoon Jim Holmes and Russell Couper made their way to Bishopbriggs for the Deafblind 10k again to find a strong breeze which made an already tough course that little bit tougher. Jim ran a strong race to finish in 42:15 similar to last year but a better performance considering the conditions while Russell ran at a much gentler 52:28 a delightful 6 mins faster than last year to continue the long road back finishing with his fastest km of the race and feeling the benefit from a good last 2 weeks of training. Jim and Russell were happy to see a cheering Martin Duthie just after 3k to keep them going.
On Sunday Graham Ramage headed east for the Chris Hoy half marathon finishing in 1:44:04

Also on Sunday Eddie Reid made his way to the Lochaber Marathon look out for a race report to follow

I headed over to Edinburgh on Sunday morning for the Chris Hoy Edinburgh Half-Marathon as a pre-race recce for the Edinburgh Marathon in May that follows 12 miles of the course.
It was a miserable morning with the rain and wind not letting up through the whole 13 miles.
The course is pretty flat and a good race for PBs.
It was a well organised event but due to the weather a pretty grim experience with few spectators en-route.
My chip time was actually 1:38:56 and my watch time was 1:38:58 (This required a final sprint on the finishing straight!!)
Very happy with that as this was a PB for me by 6 minute
Think I may have posted the wrong time there.
My chip time was 1:39:56. Watch time 1:39:58.
Note "Grazie" is Graham Ramage. Well done to Graham on setting a massive pb. (Remember to leave your real name at the end of your comment if your blogger name is in any way cryptic as the blog policy is no name, no publish).
