Episode 135!

We have another stacked show (honestly!) with some international running news from our Scottish athletes, part 2 of Scottish Athletics stalwart Adrian Stott. Meanwhile, Tommy buys a treadmill and Kyle recaps on his virtual race result...

Enjoy - now get out and run!

Episode 134 – Just in time for you weekend warriors…we have another sensational line up for you in the form of Scottish Athletics stalwart Adrian Stott in the first of two parts! Adrian was awarded the Tom Stillie award in 2018 – the person who has contributed the most to Scottish Athletics within the preceding year so he knows a thing or two and has a real passion for our sport.

We also have a quick bitesize chat with Andrew Butchart (aka Bionic Butchy) after his recent Scottish 3000m record and 2nd UK all time performance. Kyle talks about igloos, frozen rivers and his upcoming race at the weekend whilst Tom gets a telling off by the French National Champion!

Available on all good podcast apps

This week’s episode is a Burns Night special and what a way to celebrate this by having one of the world’s top Sports Scientist Professor Ron Maughan on the show!

Tommy gets used to lockdown in Paris whilst Kyle ploughs on getting back into ultra shape. We also speak about some Scottish athletics news and the recent Hoka One One 100km world record attempt!

This show was recorded before the sad death of John Kynaston who had a remarkable impact on the Scottish Running Community and beyond...

John was a Kilbarchan Club member, a podcaster and had a very popular YouTube channel. His most recent podcast as co host was Run To The Hills which is a great listen and you can find it here https://runtothehills.buzzsprout.com/

In this episode, we talk to Edinburgh AC athlete Peter Simpson about his 2019 London marathon and how things took an unexpected turn...

We also chat about our future goals and ambitions for 2021!

Kyle & Tom

It's Christmas! The week after both jumping into the V35 category, we're catching up on not only athletics news from the last 2 weeks but refecting on the highlights of 2020. Despite all the darkness, there is positivity if you look hard enough!

Tom has dipped over the border line just ahead of the travel ban and brings us the latest on his transition to running in Paris, while Kyle's been Santa Dashing!

Up North the Back to Basics 10k was a roaring success with impressive times across the field, and in the US The Marathon Project was a top class beacon in the marathoning world and saw Sarah Inglis makes her debut over the distance.

And finally, it's that time of the year - TRS Runner of the Year....but this year it's Listeners Choice! Tune in to hear the rundown of our 10 nominess before jumping on a vote soon to cast yours!

Merry Christmas from Team TRS!
