Oops, I've really neglected this page!

Next weekend rounds off the 'Tripple Crown':
Highland Fling ✔️
West Highland Way ✔️
Devil o the Highlands TBC (10th Aug)

I also have some available appointments left over the next couple of weeks. It's a tough time of the year with extra exercise, extra childcare etc so remember to take some time to think about you... or take a nap! (Bacon roll and tea time after 97mile run 🤣🫣)

The WHW is almost here and I'm going to be on the start (and hopefully finish) line! I'm no 190.

If my dot is moving very slowly don't worry too much!

Not sure how i feel but i do need some luck and accountability! 🫣

Can all runners jump? (Or hop, is this case!)

Since so many runners took on my strength test let's see you jumping? Again, test each leg and compair. Then do again in several weeks.

This is a test or plyo, proprioception, balance and, in some cases) endurance.

Test 1 - side to side hops over a line for 30seconds (ACCURATELY)

Test 2 - 6m forward hop (don't hop into a wall, like me!). Time it.

Test 3 - 3x cross-hop distance (STICK the landings!)

Good luck!
