THE NEW YORK MARATHON By Christian Bruce - May 2007

When I decided to run the New York marathon, I was under no illusions as to how difficult the task ahead of me would be. I bought Jeff Galloway’s book (a must for beginner marathon runners) ‘Marathon – You Can Do It’ which was recommended to me by a veteran of five marathons as the running “bible” and I began my training.

Regardless of how careful you are marathon running takes a physical toll on your body. One of the reasons I decided to run the marathon was to find a replacement exercise for rugby which I had given up due to a herniated L4/L5 disc sustained in my final, career ending game. Having tried two different physiotherapists and an osteopath, I had found no relief from the excruciating sciatica and all the usual discomforts of a knackered lower back. Fortunately for me, Space clinics opened in Dalry Road a couple.....

MARTIN CINGEL, EDINBURGH CAPITALS CAPTAIN - April 2007

March 2007

At the moment the season is coming to the last stage.  Every team in Elite League is fighting for play off spot and every spot is still open.  It is good for the fans that league is so competitive from start to end, but for players it is little more difficult.  You have no time to take any game easy.  One small mistake can cost team play off stages so everyone gives 100%.  My team is still fighting for Top 8 place finish which means we will play the play off.

 

GREGOR TOWNSEND - 6 NATIONS 2007 - March 2007

It has been far from a classic Six Nations tournament – in fact there was precious little quality attacking play or consistency of performance from any team – but there has been plenty of drama over the past two months.  From Vincent Clerc’s last minute try at Croke Park, Scotland’s nightmare start against Italy, referee Chris White upsetting the Welsh in Rome, and finally to ‘Super Saturday’ when both Ireland and France threw caution to the wind and scored heavily, it has been compelling viewing......

AND RELAX - WELL SORT OFF - March 2007

Well its Monday the 26th of March so that means that the world cup has came and gone.

Success for me was to get to the final of my chosen event the 15km Scratch race and get there I did.  The biggest problem I came across was getting on to an indoor track over the past few weeks to work on the all-important speed required for the world cup.  So putting the lack of track time behind me I set about my event with all the usual rituals off warming up, getting the all important play list sorted on my mp3 player and setting about "gittin the heed own".....

 

GREGOR TOWNSEND - 6 NATIONS 2007 - January 2007

It's that time of year again when rugby gets to dominate the back pages for a few weeks.  There has always been something special about the Six Nations, a tournament that continues to make the southern hemisphere very envious indeed.  A Six Nation weekend is one of the best sporting occasions on the planet, even if there have been many times over the years when the result has been a foregone conclusion.  This year's tournament is set to be the most enthralling in years, not least for the fact that both of the traditional powerhouses - England and France - struggled badly during the autumn internationals.....
