The Scottish Running Podcast

Scottish 5K Champion Kev Campbell joins The Scottish Running Podcast!

In this episode, we sit down with Kev Campbell of Cambuslang Harriers for a brilliant conversation about his journey through Scottish distance running, his training, racing and what it takes to compete at the sharp end of the sport.

Kev talks us through the road to becoming Scottish 5K Champion, the work that goes on behind the performances, and the experiences that have shaped him as a runner including his days in the Army.

The Scottish Running Podcast is back, and in this episode we sit down with James Alexander of Garscube Harriers to talk running, racing, progression and the journey behind his success on the track.

James joins us for a proper conversation about his rise through Scottish athletics, becoming Scottish 1500m Champion, competing on the international stage as a World Junior Finalist, and what it takes to keep improving in one of athletics’ most competitive events.

We get into the highs and lows behind the results — training, racing, mindset, confidence, setbacks, breakthrough performances and the lessons James has picked up along the way.

Pete Tucker spoke with Morag Miller (formerly Morag McLarty), the 1st British runner to win the European Junior 1500m title in 2005, Winner of multiple Scottish Senior Championships including the 2025 5k, & winning the British & Irish Masters XC (F35) in 2025. A 2003 World Youth 800m finalist, 2004 Commonwealth Youth Games 1500m Champion & represented the Senior Scotland team at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

She discussed her current training approach, which involves managing a health condition affecting her tendons and spine, with typical training weeks & work / life balance with her husband Lewis who had to let 40m weeks go temporarily due to Man flu! We discussed possible races, including the upcoming Silverknowes, Scottish 5K Champs, although this is in the balance due to recent illness and ongoing recovery from a hamstring injury.
