Getting some low level ancillary work done today (ie playing with plyo - great fun) and trying to chill. The youngsters' football match, adjacent to our strip of track, providing a chance for us to practise zoning out of the constant noise.😣

I went to see this last night. What a way not just to tell a story, but raise big issues in a powerful way. So many levels.

What’s the difference between winter coaching and summer season coaching in Scotland? 7 layers rather than 8. Here we go….

Glad Henry Clarkson does not have 3 hamstrings as 2 pulls over winter season is quite enough, thank you! Great recovery from first. Everything going well for other leg. 🤞🏻🤞🏻We are training at the edge. No point otherwise.

The joys of the Kangaroo Club! Still relevant. Tidying out old stuff but can not part with these!

Great to get local as well as national recognition. Super to train on new track at Peebles HS where sport is valued! Peebles High School Peebles HS PE/Sport 🇺🇦

Agreed!! Vicky and the Female Coaching Nwk she set up have been truly inspirational in my coaching journey, supporting me to be confident and resilient and feel valued.

When sport becomes art......
Looking forward to attending the British Athletics champs this weekend. Lots of luck to all scottishathletics athletes heading to Birmingham.

Wonderful prep for England Champs! Battling the elements in Peebles. Very challenging. Good luck to all the scottishathletics athletes heading down to Sheffield this weekend. Hope your last sessions were less challenging than ours!

After a freezing 12 hour outing to Ayr indoors yesterday, it was so good to be warm at Meadowbank today with Henry Clarkson basically jumping for joy, returning from a hammy injury.

The invisible, unpaid work of the independent coach - reviewing each athlete's current training and developing their next blocks of training......... The effort, focus and time required can be exhausting at times!

We’re delighted to have been able to help Linda. Keep up your great coaching work and best wishes for 2024.

Really pleased to receive such practical support from this tremendous bursary. A great legacy.

When jumpers get to compete in sprints, we have a ball. Fun day at New Year Sprint. Came away with 3 silvers! Main sprint, Lewis 2nd (just pipped in photo finish). Women's race Laura did the biz. Kerry also in final. 90m youths - Rory took silver.

Got indoors today!! Had a great time, with many of the group there. Some fantastic jumping as we were not in sub-zero temps. Got very competitive at times. Think Henry Clarkson just pipped eoh on the handicapped SLJ. Brilliant fun all round really.

Feel confident to be supported by project: physio on this, which happened one freezing evening in Peebles with Henry Clarkson tanking down the track smashing all his sprint times. Fastest he had ever run. Then ping…. Didn’t know he could run that fast!

Things that no one tells you about being a Grandma. 1. You get fantastic at weighted squats - maybe doing 200 a day picking up growing baby from ground to shoulder height. 2. One arm will become seriously strong. 3. Coaching is put into perspective.

So annoying and unfair in horizontal jumps too. Learning how to manage 6 attempts strategically, mentally and physically is crucial preparation for key comps.

And today we needed 2 lanes and the pit dug. Fun times. Some great jumping actually….

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....! Welcome to our world in Peebles. At least we stay open over the holidays....😛
