BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Unfinished Business and Training with Family

Roddy Riddle talks about tackling unfinished business, plus resetting goals in spring.

Runner Roddy Riddle talks about tackling unfinished business, plus Gillian Russell hears what training with the family is like and if spring is a good time to reset goals.

Long-distance runner and T1 diabetic Roddy Riddle had unfinished business. Last year he attempted the 6633 Ultra (a 350-mile Arctic race) but didn't complete it. He vowed to go back and get the job done ... and now he has, the first Scot ever to finish and second overall in this year's race. Roddy tells Gillian Russell what the experience was like and why it was so important for him to tackle that unfinished business.

Consultant psychiatrist Prof Steve Peters talks about the importance of how we view failure, why we need to look at effort - not just the final outcome of something - and how having a realistic sense of what we want to achieve is crucial.

How are your new year's resolutions coming along? Have you managed to keep them or did they disappear mid-January?! Coach and author Jackee Holder explores whether spring and the clocks changing is a good time of year to re-evaluate where we're at and set some new goals.

Father and son Reg and Barry Chisholm have both had heart attacks and are currently training for the Loch Ness Etape cycle race. They explain what they get out of training together, whether it's always harmonious along the way and how it's become a bit of a family affair with Barry's brother, son and dog often joining them now...
