Down the generations By Jim Glennie of On the Run Cumbernauld
Jim, Heather, Morven and Lewis
Jim and Heather Glennie love jog leading – so they were delighted when their children Morven and Lewis followed in their footsteps, and now all four lead at the same group. Jog Scotland Cumbernauld was set up in the very early 2000s by my wife Heather and Alistair Lunn, along with Susan Addison and Marie McChord. Myself and Tom McChord soon joined them. At the time we were affiliated with North Lanarkshire Leisure, but eventually the group became independent and changed names to On The Run Cumbernauld. Membership is now above 100 and up to 70 run regularly on a Monday night regardless of the weather. Running has been a long-term passion for us both - a love of sport was probably inevitable as we are both nurses. Heather had started running with the Women’s Network in Glasgow a few years prior to undertaking the jog leader course with jogscotland. Her main aim was to spread the physical and mental health benefits of running and to ensure the basic principles of this exercise was shared with those starting out to ensure good technique and injury prevention, and ultimately to set up a group in Cumbernauld.
