Race day in Cali! 🇺🇸🐻 Last minute decision to test the legs over 10,000m this evening at Sound Running The TEN. Set a huge PB here 2yrs ago, so I'm looking forward to spinning these marathon legs after a solid 5 weeks of altitude in Colorado. Race goes off 9.25pm (5.25am 🇬🇧)

So EXCITED to announce I'll be racing my debut Half Marathon at the Great North Run, next Sunday! 🙌 😳 Coming off the back of a long track season - I've not set myself any real goals, other than to get out there and enjoy the whole experience. Can't wait! 🥳 #gnr40

Running towards my holidays like..🏃🏼‍♀️💨 😎 LOVED being back in Scotland this weekend. It was the perfect way to cap off an incredible 2022! Caught up with family and old friends who I haven't had the chance to see in years! 🥰 A quick trip, but the best one yet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

Incredible sunset run.. on the River Nile!😍 Taking my first steps towards the 2023 season & what a place to do it!🇪🇬 Surreal experience - running on a treadmill, crusining along the River Nile as the sun sets across Egypt. Not sure many people can say they've done that before!

📍Touchdown in Tokyo 🇨🇵 ➡️🇯🇵 Had a lot of time to reflect today (11 hours on a plane to be precise 😅) Wee 12 year old Eilish joined Dundee Hawkhill Harriers to try out the javelin & high jump..(my first ever Scottish medal was in the javelin, maybe I was a lost talent 💪😅)

Another global final on the horizon! 🌎 Tough conditions for our 5,000m qualification...33°C! 🥵🔥 Set the pace & safely qualified for Saturday's final.🙌 Been touch & go all of this week, but my hamstring is still attached 🙏 & i'll give it everything I've got in the final!🏁

@EmiliaB71 @sharrond62 Those 3medals aren't substantial to you. But they are substantial to XX women training their entire lives for that moment. However, it's not all about global medals! For some, it's making a final. Making a team. Winning a local race. Why isn't an open category a fair solution?

It's been a good week! 🍾 Big PB & Scottish Record of 30.23 at @London10K ! Missed the British (& European Record) by a few seconds (TWO..!!) but I'm really proud of my race. Was even more special to take my mum's Scottish Record and have her with us in London this weekend.

Sadly, I've made the hard decision to miss this year's World Championships in Budapest. 😢 We always knew it was going to be tight to make it to the start line, having carried a knee injury since April.

800m reps til you drop🥵. Not sure if the guy next to me was impressed or utterly confused!🤣 Frustrating to be down on fitness from where I was but getting better each week.🤗 Even more frustrating that Michael let me run the ENTIRE session with my top label flapping around!😂
