Whatever distance you are aiming for, or level of ability you are at, we’ve teamed up with an expert and UK Level 4 Athletics coach Mel Edwards to provide a series of talks aimed at providing motivation and structure to your training and preparation.

8 days of running may not be everyone’s idea of a holiday, but that’s exactly what Matt Williamson our Bothwell Street Manager set off to do on August 30th. Matt took part in the 4th Gore-Tex Transalpine run, the challenge of a lifetime covering 300km and 14,000m of ascent.

No matter the race or distance, the very fact that you’ve signed up to a 5k, 10k, half-marathon or marathon means you’re already on the road to success. Committing to an event will give you an initial psychological boost.

Former international marathon runner Mel Edwards tells us about his first memories of running, his greatest successes, his favourite kit and his tops tips for training. Plus a great deal more.
