The latest profile is that of Helene Diamantides, Scottish international hill runner, multi record holder for many events and one who has run all three ‘Rounds’ in the same year. This is a much more detailed coverage of this extraordinary runner and can be read here. As usual there are links to other pages at the foot of the page.

Continuing with our coverage of the administrative process of the various bodies that made up Scottish athletics up to the mid 1990’s, we have the SWAAA Annual Report for 1982/83 to accompany the SAAA, the SCCU and the SGA. You can find it at this link.

We now have the profile of Christine Menhennet up on site. A very talented runner whether on the road or over the country, she really excelled on the hills where she revelled in the big challenges such as the Great Wilderness Challenge which she won in 1991 and again in 1999. She loved the Scottish Island Peaks Race too. Her career spanned 30+ years after which she worked as a committee member with her club and with the interim Hill Running Commission of the SAF. You can access it here.

We now have some of Denis Bell’s photographs from the World Mountain Running Championships at Die, in France, back in 1989. Above is one of four taken of Colin Donnelly during and after the race(with the giant trophy. Group and individual photographs of superb runners. One of the women’s team below. See it here .

Hugh Buchanan has listed the best performances by members of Central AC, men and women, over the 10K, 5K, half marathon and marathon distances. The club has been remarkably successful over the years and the lists make for interesting reading. The lists can be found at

You don’t need to be a Central member, coach or supporter from times past to want to check them out – if you are a statistician or maybe have a personal rivalry with one or more of the runners, or follow club competitions, but they are well worth a look.
