00:00It's been so good. I've been so happy with all of my performances. It's just I feel like I'm on a constant high.
00:05It's yeah, it's quite a different going from the whole of Scotland to the whole of the UK, but it's I enjoy it.
00:11I just love doing all the different events. It is quite difficult sometimes
00:16but I get through it.
00:18Because I study, like if I'm on the way to training, I'll study on the way sometimes and I get both done.
00:23So usually I train twice a week in Aberdeen. I train on a Friday at Macando.
00:30And soon I'm going to be starting up with the ADP program, which is like strength and conditioning.
00:37That's going to be on a Wednesday.
00:38Yeah, well, I think a lot of my rivals are now moving up in age group, especially the ones further afield.
00:45So, but there's going to be some new ones coming up that I now feel that I have to beat.
00:49But I do want to get the Scotch record for the indoor hurdles and the outdoor hurdles.
00:53So this year with the outdoor hurdles, I've matched the Scotch record, but it was too windy.
00:58So it doesn't count.
01:00So I'd like to get it and beat it. And then the indoor one, I was really close as well.
01:04Yeah, I think the pressure, it helps me. So I do like that.
01:08I don't really get nerves anymore.
01:10I think it's because I've been doing it since such a young age that I don't really get the nerves anymore.
