Congratulations to @HardacreKiplac on her very well deserved MBE for services to athletics. @Livingston_AC @scotathletics @LoveWestLothian @ActiveWL #NewYearsHonours #NewYearsHonoursList
Disappointing festive hours at @Xcite in Winchburgh barely open before Christmas and completely closed after! Not great for those trying to stay active during the holidays. So much for 'A more Active Scotland'! and their own vision and values! #FestiveFrustration #StayActive
Just seen this amazing documentary about masters athletes by @alexrotas @FindItFilm @D_Sellwood.
@WorldAthletics often hear about athletics needing to tell a story - masters athletics would be an absolute goldmine!

Talent doesn't always express itself right away.
Some people's talent is that they are a high responder to training/learning. They need to spend the time doing the work before they can fully express their gift.
We tend to overvalue those who show great initial promise.

Calling all athletes!
Do you belong to a club registered in 🇬🇧?
Are you interested in taking part in a research project about your life as an athlete?
It would involve uploading 4 photos covering 4 seasons along with a short explanation. More info ⬇️ or email [email protected]

Always a sign that summer is coming to an end the final weekend for @linlithgowcc with them playing @CarltonCricket 2nd XI in @ESCACricket!
Loving that it is being livestreamed so more people can see it as such a lovely ground!

Thanks to @PamRobson_11 from @scotathletics for a a really thought provoking and fun session on guide running tonight for @LinlithgowAC at @XciteLeisure Craigswood!
Lovely morning at @PitreavieAAC @PAACEndurance @forthroadbridge 10k running with son and daughter in both their first ever 10k races!
Good to see @JoStevensJogs15 and many others enjoying it too!
A fantastic event as always!

Turned on to watch @WorldAthletics Championships on @BBCSport only to find due to the issues with 20km race walk it is a HipHop mix tape instead! Surely they could have put on something athletics related! #WorldAthleticsChamps #WorldAthleticsChampionships

Strength training is UNDERRATED as a method of improving flexibility.
This review and meta-analysis found:
Heavy RE increases range of motion (bodyweight exercises did not) the same amount as traditional stretching.
