Former Gladiators TV star Ali Paton, 36, from Bellevue, chooses her top five running routes.

1 Inverleith Park (1.6km)

It is perfect if you're just starting out and want to develop your stamina.

2 Bruntsfield canal route (11km)

A flat route from Bruntsfield to Calder Road and back in by the canal.

3 Meadows and Grange (6km)

Up Grange Road, down through Marchmont and round the Meadows. A fairly flat route with some running on grass.

4 Water of Leith (4km)

Starting at Inverleith Row, I run through Stockbridge, Dean Village and then down to Corstorphine.

5 Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat (6km)

This is a tough run but it takes in beautiful views.
