Tartan Running Shorts

We have author and top extreme ultra runner Dion Leonard speaking to Kyle and talking all things ultra-running and about his book 'Finding Gobi'. This book is a Sunday Times bestseller and is a remarkable story about the stray dog now called 'Gobi' that Dion found whilst running the Gobi Desert Ultra!

We also review the Inter District XC races in Stirling, Tom gets carried away with Strava rants whilst he deals with his knee injury and Kyle is reminiscing on the time he raced (got lapped) on TV by Eliud Kipchoge well over a decade ago!

The first episode of 2019 and it is almost as long as Kyle’s dream time for a marathon! Tom and Kyle are podcasting at the TRS HQ discussing our festive delights and firming up the 2019 running goals. We give you the low down at the Great Stirling Cross Country event and chat about some fast times during the festive season. Kyle fails miserably on name pronunciations and chats all things Run Garioch with Celebrity PT and Ultra Runner Stuart Amory, Run Garioch Race Director Graham Morrison and Race Support Executive/Marathoner Christine Appel.

In part 2 of our Xmas special we're joined by some of our favourite local running faces! This week we continue the debate and discuss whether the Nike Vaporfly 4% is cool tech or a step too far, and we've got the inaugural TRS Xmas Quiz! Test your knowledge on all things athletics in Scotland!

It's Christmas! We've gathered some of our favourite runners for the first ever TRS & Friends Special! The Friends include Scotland internationals Kenny Wilson, Fiona Brian & Nicola Gauld, Scottish 1500m Champion Myles Edwards, top physio James Cruickshank, international triathlete Debbie Greig and Metro Aberdeen marathon heroes Chris Richardson & Sam Milton. In part 1 of 2, we discuss the merits of the equalizing of male and female distances and team counters at cross country and the Scottish Athletics breakaway proposals. Merry Christmas!

It's that time of the year....TRS Scottish Running Personality of the year! Forget SPOTY, we discuss our highlights of Scottish running and name the winner of the 2018 TRS award! We also recap on our own 2018 highlights and debate some running fashion.

All the 3s....33! In Episode 33 we are staring down at our 33rd birthdays coming up but fortunately have an interview with Scotland's Euro Champs hero Eilish McColgan to celebrate! We've both been in XC action at the East District Champs so recap our runs as well as the results from all the District Champs this weekend.

In Episode 32, we've got part 2 of our interview with Robbie Simpson talking about his Gold Coast Commonwealth medal, we talk about the favourites for the District XC Champs this weekend and discuss race walking of all things!

In Episode 31, Commonwealth bronze medallist Robbie Simpson joins us! Tom caught up with Robbie in the first of a 2 part interview talking about his career in the mountains and on the road to the Gold Coast. Kyle's been in ultra action at the Hardmoors 80 and he tells us all about his tough day at the office to earn that final UTMB qualifying point! We catch up on the XC action across Scotland including Tom's return to the mud at Broxburn.

In episode 30, we're still not running much so instead we discuss the news that Scottish Athletics is exploring breaking away from British Athletics for European competitions as well as the results from this weekend in Scotland!

This week Tom speaks to our club mate Cameron Strachan who has burst back onto the Scottish Athletics racing circuit this year. We recap the exciting racing at the Scottish National Short Course XC Champs in Lanark and other results across Scotland while Kyle continues to worry about his weight.
