Improving on Yesterday

BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Improving on Yesterday

Gail MacLeod talks to Gillian Russell about preparing for and running her first marathon.

Gail MacLeod talks to Gillian Russell about running her first marathon, plus fitness trainer Ross Stewart talks about simple steps to improve on performance.

Gillian Russell goes out running with marathon novice Gail MacLeod ... a few days before the Loch Ness marathon ... to find out how her preparations are going ... and then Gail drops into the studio to talk live about how she got on in the marathon the previous day.

Remember Simon Jacob, the self-employed builder we spoke to a fortnight ago who was about to tackle a triple ironman triathlon over a 64-hour period? He's back on the programme to tell us how he got on...

And if a marathon seems like too big an Everest to climb, why not set some smaller goals? Fitness trainer Ross Stewart shares his advice for the simple steps we can take to improve on yesterday.
