A JAUNT down the A1 to Berwick-upon-Tweed? Or what about lapping up the views from the southern shores of Loch Lomond at Balloch? Both seem like pretty long drives from Corstorphine for a day out by car – but that’s the distance CAAC athlete Dougie Selman will be running having been selected in the Scotland … Continue reading DOUGIE SELMAN GOING THE DISTANCE IN ANGLO CELTIC PLATE 100K

Northumberland Coastal Run 2019
The Northumberland Coastal Run has been an annual event for me the last 6 years. It’s an amazing run along some of the most beautiful beaches in the English border country. This year I was injured and away on holiday so missed out on one of my favourite runs. Still there were plenty of CAACers … Continue reading Northumberland Coastal Run 2019
Tour of Fife the final day
And before you know it, it’s all over. The legs are tired and not that willing anymore, but somehow you get yourself to that last race to get it all over and done with! Five races in 5 days is trying no doubt and finishing it gives you great sense of achievement. Well done CAAC … Continue reading Tour of Fife the final day
Tour of Fife day 4

Your attitude tends to be ‘right let’s get this over and done with’. Then once you get going and you’ve turned back … Continue reading Tour of Fife day 4
Tour of Fife Day 3

Tour of Fife Day 2
Driving home I saw East Lomond hill bathed in sunshine. I felt a pang of guilt not going to support the CAAC ToF elite. However that hill is big and I wasn’t ever going to go all the way up there just to say well done keep going. If you haven’t been to Falkland then … Continue reading Tour of Fife Day 2
The Tour of Fife
Today the Tour of Fife started. The beach race. One of my favourites so as I am little bit crocked at the moment I decided I shouldn’t run, but I should at least make to effort to see my CAAC team mates off on their first run. A walk on the beach helped spot Ally … Continue reading The Tour of Fife
