Gordon Andrew struggled to find the fun in running he'd had before being horrifically injured and spending weeks in hospital, but was inspired to find a solution by his little boy.
A dad keen to get back into running after being hit by a lorry has created pictures for his son - through his route tracking app.
Noticing that his hometown of Helensburgh was laid out in a grid formation, Gordon had a novel idea. He decided to choose a new route in an attempt to draw a picture on the fitness tracking app Strava, which tracks the runner's route and marks it out in an orange line on the map. "I've always been a keen runner," said Gordon. "I was involved in an accident on the way to work in Glasgow in 2018. I stepped in front of a truck and was quite badly injured.
"He likes to see if I've managed to draw anything after my run. I'll show it to him and ask him what it looks like - sometimes what I've tried to draw and what he thinks it is are totally different. And he was thrilled by the positive response and hopes that his post will encourage other people to give it a go. Some of his creations include elephants, helicopters - and even a Christmas themed route that has been adopted by the local athletics club.
