Warming up for the XC season with an evening of trail running at Beecraigs!

Sunshine, trails, a brilliant turnout and we even had cake β€” the perfect way to get ready for the season ahead! πŸ’™πŸ’›

πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸš΄β€β™€οΈ We’re a talented lot at LAC!

Not only do we run β€” and run rather well β€” we had a fantastic 36 LAC members taking on Sunday’s Stirling Podfather 10K! πŸ™Œ

A big shout-out to everyone who PB'd. If you know someone who PBd tag them in the comments. πŸŽ‰πŸ‘

But apparently running alone isn’t enough for some of us…

πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ Kathryn Coates-Holm came away from the Scottish Masters Swimming Championships with an enviable haul of medals and PBs β€” taking silver in the 100m backstroke in a PB of 1:16.47, and also setting PBs in the 100m IM (1:19.46) and 50m breaststroke (40.02). πŸ₯‡πŸ₯ˆπŸ”₯

πŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ And not content with just running and swimming, Christine Mulholland likes to throw a bike into the mix too! Christine took 1st place in her age category at the 2026 Scottish National Standard Distance Triathlon. πŸ₯‡πŸ‘

Running, swimming, cycling… LAC gets everywhere! πŸ’™πŸ’›

WAVA Wednesday is back for the autumn and this week the spotlight is on Jill HorsburghπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Jill's been navigating injury and health challenges on and off for a few years, and for a while there she was convinced her times were only ever going one way. Turns out that wasn't the case.

Her achievements this year include:
⭐ 24:13 at West Lothian College 5k and 2nd in her age category
⭐ 49:27 at the Jack Crawford 10k, coming in 2nd in her age category again.

That's an age grading of 82.67% for the 5k and 81.57% for the 10k πŸ‘ Let’s not even get started on her Parkrun WAVA achievements - we’ll save that for a separate post!

She's also stopped counting podiums and started counting the whole field. At the recent Tour, 32.5 miles of mixed terrain over 4 days, she finished 34th out of 342 women and 3rd oldest female in the race. Her words: "I'll take that as a win." We agree.

Her tip for anyone fighting the injury cycle: strength training. Specifically, Body Pump. Specifically, Tor's classes. πŸ˜‰

Sub 25 for a 5k, sub 50 for a 10k. She thought those days were long gone. They weren't. Total inspiration to many.

β˜€οΈ LAC Youth Squad – Summer Round-Up (So Far!) β˜€οΈ

What a fantastic summer it's been for our LAC Youth Squad! Here's a quick look at some of the highlights.....

πŸ… Mia kicked things off by winning her age group at the Calderglen Race in June, while Maisie has continued to make huge progress and is edging ever closer to that impressive 80% age grading.

πŸ”₯ The Pursuit 5000 was a brilliant day in Stirling with a fantastic LAC turnout. Our athletes loved the opportunity to race alongside and meet elite runnersβ€”including watching our own Sam O'Neill on his impressive 5k! A special congratulations to Natalia, who was first female in her race.

🌲 At the recent National Trail Championships in Crieff, Hannah and Rose both claimed 3rd place in their age groupsβ€”a fantastic achievement and new Scottish Athletics medals πŸ…

πŸ’₯ There have been plenty of PBs too, with Isla and Maisie smashing new 2K PBs, Abbie combining parkrun tourism with a brand new PB and a ton more!

πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ The Sir Chinmoy 3 Γ— 1 Mile Relays were another memorable evening for our LAC Youth teams. Congratulations to Amelia, Hannah and Niamh, who won the U17 Female relay, and to Isla, Alexander and James, who took won the U17 mixed relay. Our third team of Lewis, Sophia and Isla's cousin also ran brilliantly!

🌞 Our LAC Youth Squad took a trip to Helix parkrun on Sunday, it was wonderful to see so many LAC vests flying round the course before they enjoyed a sunny morning together in the park.

πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Last night at Pollok Park Simran and Hannah joined the Stride Orienteering event for a really fun evening of map reading, clues and running. Best of all, they made tshirts that I'm sure many of the youths and coaches will recognise from their 'sunshine lollipop' song 🎡

Well done team LAC!
