Introducing Cooldown Lager, our collaboration with Edinburgh Marathon Festival. 🍻🏃♂️🏃♀️ Not only are we thrilled to be the exclusive beer provider at this year's Edinburgh Marathon Festival, but we've also collaborated with them to launch Cooldown Lager, a new alcohol-free beer crafted to celebrate the festival. If you're planning to participate in this year's Edinburgh Marathon on the 26th May, or just going along to support those taking part, be sure to grab a beer from our bars at the finishing area situated at Pinkie Playing Fields in Musselburgh. And if you're not drinking alcohol, we've got you covered. We've brewed a new alcohol-free lager just for the occasion. Cooldown Lager is pale golden in colour and offers a crisp, refreshing taste with light malty notes and a subtle citrus aroma. We'll be serving pints on draught at the marathon and in our taproom, or you can get hold of cans straight away via the Bellfield Brewery website. 😊🙌
The countdown is ON!!

It's getting close to @edinburghmarathonfestival now, and I'm super excited to be taking part in the half marathon 😀 I should have been sharing this weeks ago, but the mara-noia was getting the best of me 🤐 I'm fundraising for Macmillan again, as they are a lifeline for those battling cancer. It's been over four years since I've participated in a big run due to my struggle with psoriatic arthritis, which started three years ago. This journey hasn't been easy, but I'm thrilled to be able to participate in an activity that I'm passionate about and also challenge myself to raise funds for a cause that I truly believe in. There are just under two weeks to go, and thanks to all those who have already sponsored me. If you have a spare couple of quid, I'd be delighted if you flung it my way. https://www.justgiving.com/page/kenny-diamond-edinburgh-half-macmillan #emf #emf2024 #edinburghmarathonfestival

Cramming it all in before I leave on Wednesday 🇪🇸 ✈️ 🏴 Ran back from my Physiotherapy appointment - then did my final workout at my gym! When I get to Scotland I’ll need to do a couple of drop in sessions at a local gym to finish up my training! It’s getting real! Hope you’re set for a great week folks! I’m enjoying my #taper era!

Speed week ✅️ The next 2wks will be a taper of both running and gym work until the half on the 26th Running taper will be a reduction in distance with a small reduction in intensity Gym taper will be a reduction in volume and intensity, and a greater focus on prehab work The goal on the day is 1:24:00, feeling confident that I can sustain a 4min/km average. The biggest challenge for me is maintaining a pace and not going out too hot. #running #strengthandconditioning #edinburghrunning #edinburghmarathonfestival
• 18km Duurloop 🏃🏻♀️🥵😢 Na vorige week had ik gehoopt dat deze week de duurloop wel beter zou gaan. Vooral omdat het de laatste lange duurloop is en nog 2 weken tot Edinburgh. Ik had een leuk rondje uitgestippeld met ook een heuvel. Want Edinburgh is niet vlak. Maar ook deze loop ging mentaal en fysiek niet zoals ik gewild had. Dit baart mij toch wel een angst of een doel van 2uur haalbaar is. 🙏 Komende 2 weken rustig aan doen en hopelijk ga ik knallen en genieten 🥰 Nog 2 weken tot Edinburgh Half Marathon @edinburghmarathonfestival ▶️ Week 6 - Edinburgh Half Marathon Plan @runna_coach #Running_Pegg #RunWithMe #RunningDutchie #LifeIsBetterInRunningShoes #Running #RunningIsMyTherapy #RunningIsMyHappyPlace #Hardlopen #InstaRun #RunHappy #NeverNotRunning #BeatYesterday #Adventure #OutOfMyComfortzone #ItsMyAgainstMe #FeelingBlessed #CrazyRunner #RunnaCoach #HalveMarathon #HalveMarathonTraining #HalfMarathon #HalfMarathonTraining #EMF2024 #EdinburghMarathonFestival #EdinburgHalfMarathon #RoadToEdinburghHalfMarathon🏴

That was a warm sweaty 9 mile run. Tried jeffing on this run, unsure if I can manage it for the half though. Picked up a wee treat for later 🐌🐌🏃🏻♀️🌞🥵. #thisgirlcan #edinburghhalfmarathon #edinburghmarathonfestival #halhigdonhalfmarathontraining #jeffing
20 miles done 🙌 Up and out early for this, but it was still really hot! 2 weeks to go until Edinburgh marathon. Back to back marathons feels strange, who knows how this will go on the day! One thing I have learnt though is anything can happen! But right at this moment I’m feeling pretty good 💪 Now for a perfect refuelling situation- BBQ, sun, family and maybe a beer or two. Happy Sunday ☀️ #marathontraining #edinburghmarathon
Tick tock ⏰ 2 weeks today 📆 Let’s see how the race predictions play out 😂 None of them seem realistic (I know how I operate)! @runna_coach has me coming in between 4:11 and 4:24. I’m hoping to break my record (4:29) set at the Top of Utah Marathon last year. I’ll accept 4:28 although ideally I’d like 4:20! I’m so excited 🤩 Anyone else feel like sharing their race predictions v reality?!

Week 14/16 Edinburgh Marathon Training ✅ It was a good feeling knowing this was my last time running along these straight roads 😂 The furthest I’ll run between now and race day is 10k! I enjoyed running without my hydration vest - I took my 3 gels in my pocket and that was that! Was very pleased at my pace, although there is a “slow spot” between mile 9 and 10 that I need to work on! The Gandia sign on the beach has been painted from white to rainbow colours 🌈 There are lots of events for #prideweek coming up at the end of June. Stopped for coffee at the marina after ☕️ 🛥️ Hope you are all set for a great weekend friends ❤️ Laura ✨ #edinburghmarathonfestival #edinburghmarathon #longrun #pride #LGBTQ #marathontraining #runnersofinstagram #igrunners #runner

Finally starting to feel some fitness creeping back, which brings with it a bit of mojo to get back on the gram! Currently enjoying a few days in London, and couldn’t miss the chance to chuck the trainers in the bag & clock a few miles. Absolutely love running in new cities, with London being right up there as one of my favourites 👑 Banked an easy 8k round Regents Park & Primrose Hill this morning, which absolutely sailed by despite the mercury already climbing pretty quickly! One of the best things about running here is that you get absolutely surrounded by other folk getting after it - had genuinely hundreds of cyclists whipping past in wee groups, bucket loads of runners, and good vibes all round. Although if anyone knows how to extract a nod/smile out of a fellow runner in London, stick the answers on a postcard. They might all be head to toe in Soar gear, but I’ll take a cheery Scottish runner every day of the week 😂
Tempo run 20-20-20 🏃🏻♀️🔥🥵 Er stond eigenlijk een andere tempo sessie op de planning maar kwam deze tegen en deze leek mij net zo uitdagend: 20 min op marathon tempo 20 min langzamer dan halve marathon tempo 20 min sneller dan dan halve marathon tempo Ik zag training voorbij komen bij de @runningchannel Ik heb nog nooit een marathon gelopen maar 6:00 leek mij wel een mooie snelheid. 🤗 mijn doel voor de halve marathon ligt op 2uur dat betekend een gemiddelde snelheid van 5:41. Dus langzamer is 5:45 en sneller 5:35. 🔥 - 20min 6:00 > 5:57 ✅ - 20min 5:45 > 5:42 ✅ - 20min 5:35 > 5:32 ✅ Pittige training!

Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2024 So… self proclaimed ultra runner turns her hand to 1/2 marathons 🤦♀️ What. Is. she. Thinking. All advice is welcome 🤗 There is a reason for the madness as I have thrown my hat in the ring to be selected for the Orkney Island Games team 2025 which Orkney are hosting … and I need a few chip times in 2024 & 2025 to see if they are of qualification standard 😬 This is very off-piste and VERY much outside my comfort zone especially after the success of my ultra runs. If I can, then great 😊 If not, I can say I tried and look to my next ultra/home avoidance training block and races 🏃🏻💜 Speed here is the challenge, not the distance. Wish me luck 🍀 #halfmarathon #instarunners #orkneyislandgames #femalerunners #edinburghmarathonfestival #islandgames

Genuinely worried now that I won't be able to finish the half marathon on the 26th May. (There's a sweeper bus that lifts you jf you can't keep the pace of 1 mile per 15mins and you're then disqualified) Really don't want to let my wee friends down or everyone that has donated or the charities. Any suggestions are welcome and words of encouragement are needed as my motivation is dipping 🤣 (If anyone would like to donate just click the link in my bio - Thank you) #edinburghhalfmarathon #edinburghhalfmarathon2024 #halfmarathon #edinburghmarathonfestival #foylewomensaid #cancerresearch #pipscharity #fundraise #donate #donatetoday #selflove #selfcare #determination #motivation #derry #Londonderry #running #runningtips #help #marathontraining #marathonadvice @foylewomensaid @cr_uk @pips_charity
In 17 days I'll be doing my local half marathon again. Pretty lucky to have the Edinburgh Marathon Festival on my doorstep. These are photos from 2023 and 2019. My course PB is 2hrs 13minutes and 43seconds in 2023. I wonder what I'll get this year. I'd like to be faster, that goes without saying, but I am of the school that the best time is a good time so we will see #edinburghmarathonfestival #emftraining #scottishrunner #scottishraces @runna_coach

…met a wee pal at the end of today’s run 🐈 I didn’t quite live up to Runna’s expectations today! Felt a bit fatigued. It was the first morning during this training block that I woke up and thought “I can’t be bothered running today”. I’m sure it’s just temporary 🤞 📍 Over and Unders 1.2mi with Runna ✅ 0.60mi warm up at a conversational pace (no faster than 9:40/mi) Repeat the following 2x: -——— 1.2mi @ 9:20/mi 1.2mi @ 8:20/mi -——— 0.60mi cool down at a conversational pace (or slower!)

Duurloopje op zondag! 🏃🏻♀️😎 Vol goede moet na heel lang uitstellen toch de deur uitgegaan in mn @petranpad shirt. 17km op de planning maar deze ging absoluut niet vanzelf. Planning was 5km op een comfortabel tempo dat ging eigenlijk prima. Maar de 8km op half marathon tempo van 5:30-5:40 gingen moeizaam en dit blok liep ik uiteindelijk op gemiddeld op 5:46. Daarna de laatste 4km zouden ook weer op comfortabel tempo van 5:50 maar mijn lichaam had er geen zin meer in. Dus deze liep ik uiteindelijk rond 6:25 gemiddeld. Deze snel vergeten en door naar de volgende.. 🥵😔 3 weken tot Edinburgh Half Marathon @edinburghmarathonfestival ▶️ Week 5 - Edinburgh Half Marathon Plan @runna_coach #Running_Pegg #RunWithMe #RunningDutchie #LifeIsBetterInRunningShoes #Running #RunningIsMyTherapy #RunningIsMyHappyPlace #Hardlopen #InstaRun #RunHappy #NeverNotRunning #BeatYesterday #Adventure #OutOfMyComfortzone #ItsMyAgainstMe #FeelingBlessed #CrazyRunner #RunnaCoach #HalveMarathon #HalveMarathonTraining #HalfMarathon #HalfMarathonTraining #EMF2024 #EdinburghMarathonFestival #EdinburgHalfMarathon #RoadToEdinburghHalfMarathon🏴
Get ready to feel a sense of accomplishment you have never felt before. Who's excited?
5 miles of jogging/running early this morning. I stopped a couple of times to take some photos of the sun coming up and the gorgeous views. Today quite a few of the other (much more professional looking) runners gave me a little smile or a hello. It made me feel like I was part of a special little club! Funnily enough, it took me right back to when I was a very young 16 year-old, riding my moped around and all the other bikers would nod their head or wave when they passed. Just for reference, don’t be picturing any cool little Vespa, I had a very old, rusty, blue moped with a large box on the back…and I absolutely loved it! £2.50 to fill the petrol tank and that would last me a fortnight 🙌 #randomrunningthoughts #10ktraining #edinburghmarathonfestival #livingwellwithcancer #livingwithcancer #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #stage4 #secondarybreastcancer #secondarybreastcancerawareness
My last big run before I start my taper, and another 20 miler in the bag. I wasn’t sure if I was going to finish that today, my shin is pretty sore and worse now that I’ve stopped, plus my left hamstring doesn’t feel great. Lots of stretching, a soak in the bath, massage gun and some gentle movement, and fingers crossed I can get through the taper and make it to the start line in one piece. I’m currently thinking there’s no way I have another 6.2 miles in me on top of that run though 😬 - I know I’ve done it once before but the self doubt is strong at the moment! . . . #20miles #sundaylongrun #longrunsunday #marathontraininginprogress #marathontrainingproblems #onerunatatime #edinburghmarathonfestival #tapertime
Longrun cut short. Legs just weren't for playing today, DOMS from Friday and parkrun yesterday. The more I went on, the slower I was going, and the more I hated it. So I just cut it to 21km and just walked to Rutherglen station. I don't want to over push it and end up injured. I know I'm asking a lot from myself to do two marathons 6 week apart when I've only done 2 but I've just got this bee in my bonet because I did poorly at Manachester that Edinburgh has to be a redemption. 3 weeks in, 3 to go. Mileage goes down now, thankfully. Happy Running.
Last long run done yesterday morning ✅ Let the taper begin, A nice enjoyable 3 weeks getting ready to give it everything on 26th May. Legs are feeling pretty battered and needing some rest so it has came at a good time. 21 days to go 😀 #runningmotivation #running #runninginspiration #runninginscotland #cardio #active #marathon #marathontraining #runners #runnerlife #runningman
Absolutely stunning views on my early morning run; just lovely to see the sun rising, listen to the parakeets squabbling in the palm trees and hear the sounds of the waves lapping into the empty beach. No chat to keep me motivated but the peace was actually all I needed. Glad to manage a 5k even with this cough and rattling chest hanging on! #livingwellwithcancer #livingwithcancer #10ktraining #edinburghmarathonfestival #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #secondarybreastcancer #secondarybreastcancerawareness #stage4
Hi! My name's Mari-Ann and I'm going to be running in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival this coming May! This is my first half marathon, and what's motivating me is being able to raise money for the Marie Curie Charity, as they hold a special place in my heart after caring for a very close loved one. I also couldn't do this without the encouragement from friends, family and my Hula family - one of which being my manager Oceane, who is also taking part! I've worked in Hula for 8 months now and they are always there for me when I need that essential post-run fuel 🏃🏻♀️😄 Below is a link to my Just Giving page where I'm collecting sponsorships for this special charity. Thank you!😊 #HulaJuiceBar #CafeEdinburgh #RunForACause #MarieCurieFundraiser #EdinburghMarathonFestival
The Edinburgh Marathon Festival takes place on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th May this year with thousands of runners taking part. We are still looking for great people to be part of the team across the weekend in various roles. As well as playing a key part in making Scotland's largest mass participation event happen, everyone will receive training for their roles, and receive an expenses fee which is allocated to each role. We have many local community groups, sports clubs and organisations who are part of the Event Team, who have a lot of fun being involved in the team, and use their expenses fees to help with fundraising for their various projects, so if you are part of a group or club who aren't already involved, this might be the perfect opportunity for them! There are a few different Event Team roles still available, and no particular experience is required to join, just enthusiasm. We will work with you over the coming weeks to ensure that you are fully prepared for your role, and we have lots of flexibility to work around your schedule. If you're interested, log your interest in being involved through Event Team Zone, and we will contact you to give you more details about the roles available. Sign up today via the link in bio.🔗

Post work run. I’m definitely a morning runner, not a fan of running in the afternoon at all but an early shift this week means I’ve got no choice. My shin is still causing me issues too, so the plan is to stick to just three runs again and hopefully nurse it through the last few weeks of the training block 🤞🏼. . . . . #postworkrun #marathontrainingplan #edinburghmarathonfestival #tshirtweather
The furthest I have ran in my training so far is….🏃♀️
A massive thank you to the staff @felsonsglasgow for hosting us for another Charity Pool Tournament🎱 This time we managed to raise £110 for @gch_charity as part of my fundraising pledge for this years Edinburgh Marathon🤟 With just over 3 weeks until I take to the streets of Edinburgh again I have updated the link in my bio to my new fundraising page. Any donation, however small, will make a massive difference to GCHC and will help me get ever closer to my £500 pledge so please give generously🙏 Big Love, Dazza🏃 #run #running #charity #charityrun #marathon #marathontraining #edinburghmarathon #glasgowchildrenshospitalcharity #runnersofinstagram #edinburghmarathonfestival
Week 3 in progress! Run 1 was hills… 30sec speed work up hill and recover back down x 10. With a 1.2km warm up either side. It wasn’t the worst thing ever but definitely not super enjoyable! But not every run is going to be enjoyable so just got to keep pushing through! Run 2 was 1.6km warm then 5x400m sprints at a set pace then a 1k Cool down. Total km of run worked out at 5.9 by the time I got home. I enjoyed this slightly more but legs were super tired from yesterdays hills so was challenging at points! The sun was shinning and it was so lovely to run in so 🎉 Next run isn’t till the weekend which is a 7km long run. Trying to take each run as it comes and see where it takes us. Following @runna 10km plan. Going todo some swimming on Friday as a lower intensity type training to just keep the legs ticking and definitely learning the importance of stretching as well! Here’s to the long run of week three and the next seven weeks 🏃🏽♀️ #runna #runnning #runningmotivation #run #runscotland #beginner #backtorunning #halfmarathon #marathon #10km #scottishrunnergirl #scottishrunninggirl #edinburghmarathonfestival #ayrshirerun #marathontraining #10kmtraining
The end of May seemed so far away until the beginning of May came. I’m running the Edinburgh Marathon on 26 May and raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Donation link in bio.

26 miles 385 yards 42.2 kilometers 1 marathon There are more than 1000 marathons a year, but do you know why it's such and odd distance? Reportedly, Queen Alexandra wanted the race to start on the lawn of Windsor Castle (so the littlest royals could watch from the window of their nursery!) and finish in front of the royal box at the Olympic stadium—a distance that happened to be 26.2 miles. So whether you run a 2k, 5k, 10k, 20k, 42.2k, or you just fancy a little jog every now and again treat your muscles to some tlc! Why not pop in for a sports massage? It can provide psychological benefits and it's a time where you can reenergise, relax and rebuild confidence to prepare for your next run. Take a break from the slog of marathon training! #marathon #marathoner #marathonrunner #marathontraining #marathonchallenge #marathonready #edinburghmarathon #edinburghmarathon2024 #edinburghmarathonfestival #sportsmassage #sportsmassagetherapy #sportsmassagebenefits #sportsrehab #sportsrehabilitator #sportsrehabmassage #sportsrehabprofessionals
You don't need a runner's bib to participate in the @edinburghmarathonfestival. 👏 Look for Team Space's bright pink shirts on Saturday, 25 May, near the finish line—where we'll be cheering on Trustee Alastair (@cruicka) as he completes the 10K route in support of Space @ The Broomhouse Hub. 🤳 We'd love to see South West Edinburgh represented among the crowd! If you're going to root for someone else (or are, in fact, running in any of the weekend's races), be sure to snap some photos and send them to us ([email protected]) to share. 💷 There's also plenty of time left to donate to Alastair's fundraiser for Space (link in bio). Let's see if we can make it to £1,000 by the end of May! #EdinburghMarathonFestival #EMF #running #10K #fundraising #fundraiser #Space #BroomhouseHub
Let us know what you would do.👇

• duurloop op koningsdag 👑🧡🇳🇱 Voor de gelegenheid maar iets oranjes aangetrokken. 🧡 Gisteren avond zelf nog een tempo training gedaan waar mijn benen en koppie er geen zin in hadden 🥵 maar uiteindelijk doorgezet en toch de training voldaan. 🔥 Vandaag gezellig met de groep op pad 9km rustige duurloop op het schema, maar het werden er uiteindelijk 11km. 🤗 ik was erg benieuwd hoe mijn benen en lichaam zou voelen na gisteravond. Maar dat ging allemaal prima gewoon rustig gelopen. 🏃🏻♀️ 📅 4 weken en 1 dag tot Edinburgh Half Marathon @edinburghmarathonfestival ▶️ Week 4 / training 2 - Edinburgh Half Marathon Plan @runna_coach #Running_Pegg #RunWithMe #RunningDutchie #LifeIsBetterInRunningShoes #Running #RunningIsMyTherapy #RunningIsMyHappyPlace #Hardlopen #InstaRun #RunHappy #NeverNotRunning #BeatYesterday #Adventure #OutOfMyComfortzone #ItsMyAgainstMe #FeelingBlessed #CrazyRunner #RunnaCoach #HalveMarathon #HalveMarathonTraining #HalfMarathon #HalfMarathonTraining #EMF2024 #EdinburghMarathonFestival #EdinburgHalfMarathon #RoadToEdinburghHalfMarathon🏴 #koningsdag #oranje #kingsday #🧡
First really tough one of the training block. Not sure I would have another 18km in me if that was marathon day. However, I did have to change my long run to a Friday straight from work, I was running with slight DOMS and with the time difference my fuelling was different. So, hoping these factors played a part and it won't be like this on the day 🤷♀️. Still another done and another step closer! #rungirlrun #firstmarathon #edinburghmarathonfestival #fitterfasterstronger #fitterhealthierhappier #runnersofinstagram #runscotland #marathontraining #fridaylongrun #shannonskitchen #marysmeals #letsdothis
Deload week so today’s long run was only 7.5 miles. @runna_coach suggested a 5k “race” in between the warm up and cool down. Didn’t quite make race pace but I’m okay with that! Ran over to the next town, had coffee with Mr @at1withtherun, stocked up on books from the charity shop and picked up my new #brooksghost shoes on the way home. A very successful day 🤩 Happy Friday y’all! Hope you’re all set for a great weekend ❤️ Laura ✨ #racepace #5k #deload #EMF2024 #edinburghmarathon #edinburghmarathonfestival #longrun #runnersofinstagram #runner
I think that's a 5km PB post baby. Beautiful afternoon for a quick run around Arthur's seat on my lunch #runningpb #postnatalrunning #edinburghmarathonfestival
With exactly one month to go until the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 10k run, I was glad to manage a decent 7.5k training run with wonderful company this afternoon. I was seriously regretting suggesting a different route which involved lots of steep hills, however I think some hill training is going to be necessary for the Edinburgh course! Thank you for the motivation and the chat, Hayley Reid. I have printed a paper copy of a @make2ndscount sponsor form, which I plan to carry around with me from now until the 25th May, and would be grateful for any sponsorship at all.
