A group of school pupils had a tougher than usual PE class as Commonwealth champion boxer Charlie Flynn put them through their paces.
The 22-year-old left the gloves to one side and concentrated on jogging with the St Mungo's Academy children in Glasgow as he prepares for the Bank of Scotland 2016 Great Scottish Run.
The event incorporates a half-marathon, a 10k and a series of fun runs to encourage people of all ages to get involved over the weekend of October 1 and 2.
Andy Mitchelmore, from the event organisers the Great Run Company, said: "The Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run has something for everyone - from Olympians and club runners at the front of the half-marathon to the youngest runners in the Toddler Dash on Super Saturday."
Flynn, who previously worked for Royal Mail, turned professional after winning gold at Glasgow 2014 and is a fan of running to keep him fit for the ring.
He said: "Come rain or sun on the Scottish run, be it Mike, Claire or Dan, you'll need fast feet on the Glasgow beat to out-run the Mailman."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
