It was great to finally do one of the classic Scottish hill races on Sunday at the Lairig Ghru, even better to come away with the win 🥇 It’s a race that’s been on the list for a few years, and 3:05 isn’t a shabby time given the wind direction, plenty of life left in these legs!

Pinning a number on tomorrow for the first time this season at the Lairig Ghru race. Not in peak shape yet but the legs feel pretty good for it, very much looking forward to the fight 🤘

The sunnies were slightly optimistic, oh Scotland how I love you ❤️

More evenings like this please 🙏

Cairngorms.

Great to be back in the Munros on a ‘scorcher’ of a day, the Cairngorms delivering the goods!

Starting to feel like a runner again. Just keep showing up and it’ll come back 🤘

First early morning run in a while, felt like shite but it’s a start. Just keep building 🧱

Attempting to ride my way back into some shape, a depressing amount of condition lost in a month, but start slow and it’ll come back. The sun is a good healer too, the wind just needs to f*ck off now!

In my experience flat running for trail and mountain runners is massively undervalued, and not just for easy recovery runs. A lot of people say run slow to run fast, but sometimes you’ve got to run fast to run fast!
