the most beautiful run in scotland [with whisky!!]

THE GLENLIVET 10K 2013 (The Most Beautiful Run in Scotland) Entries are already coming in thick and fast for the 4th annual ‘Glenlivet 10K Road Race’ taking place on Sunday April 14th so please don’t leave it too late to enter as the race limit has been reached in the previous two years. The race is rightly billed as ‘The Most Beautiful Run in Scotland’ and is based at the legendary Glenlivet Distillery in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park in Moray. The scenic, undulating and rural route is set around the babbling River Livet making the course a stunning landscape to run in and all runners receive a deserved ‘wee dram’ (Glenlivet Miniature) after the race as well as a goody bag and event medal. The race is suitable for runners and joggers of all standards and uses electronic chip timing for race results and has fantastic race organisation and facilities. The event raises vital funds for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland through optional sponsorship and donations and a warm Highland welcome is always guaranteed from the local community. More information and entry sign up for this stunning event can be found at www.theglenlivet10k.com  ‘Come and Feel the Spirit of the Glen…’

fancy a training camp in Tiree?

£50 discount for jogscotland members- read on;

I particularly wanted to offer a discount to JogScotland groups for the Tiree Training Camp. We run a camp in Majorca which is nearly full but I'm really keen to develop the camp here on Tiree. I'm offering £50 off the camp fee and if there's a group of you that are interested in coming over we could look at including a free place. Here's some brief details:

Tiree Training Camp

• 5 Days: 21st - 26th March 2013
• Warm Tiree hospitality - accommodation, breakfast, lunch and evening meal provided as well as some evening entertainment
• Plenty of quality all round fitness training and a full body shape up, as well as getting you ready to take on any events or challenges you've entered
• Activities include jogging, mountain biking around the island, trail and beach running, functional strength training and some fun team challenges
• All abilities catered for - we'll ensure it's very positive, encouraging and will build you up so you go home fired up and fighting fit!
• Fully qualified coaches: including Personal Trainers, a pro-level triathlete and a Commonwealth Games cyclist

There's more details about everything we do at Tiree Fitness and the camps at http://www.tireefitness.co.uk/coaching/training-camps/

Tiree 10k and Half Marathon

• 4th May 2013
• 7th year of the 10k race and the first time we've included a half marathon option
• Start line on the beach. Finish on the beach - Everything in between is on single track roads following the coast
• Beautiful views out to sea and distant islands
• Undulating course with twists and turns which is altogether a very enjoyable run
• Local band Trail West play the evening dance to round off a spectacular day

Entries are open and more information can be found at http://www.tireefitness.co.uk/events/tiree-10k/

If you cant make it over to Tiree for these events but like the idea then please share this with your contacts or put a link to the website on social media. It would be great to offer future training opportunities like this and that depends on making this first Tiree camp really successful. Thank you for your help.

If you need any further details just give me a call or drop me an email.

Thanks and Happy Training!

saturday running in the snow

running still on so far-please dress appropriately & probably have fresh dry shoes& socks for after.

the next tri-trail extravaganza-perhaps no blizzard & a wee bit shorter??

after the 22k fun in the blizzard-the next tri-trail 'fun run' is more accessible & possibly flatter but can't guarantee that !


The next Tri-Trail race will be our special night stage in Dalkeith Country Park. The race will take place on Wednesday 13th Feb at 7.30pm and will be a 10K incorporating a wide variety of different surfaces.

A good headlamp will be required but thanks to the generosity of our sponsors SILVA - your entry will include a voucher for £25 off a Trail Runner headlamp from The Tri Centre (http://silva.se/product-family/trail-runner).
These retail at £60 so it's a great deal.

More details as soon as we have them - we hope to open entries next Thursday (24th) subject to relevant permissions - and will post a link to the Entry Central page then.

As usual we will provide free hot tea and cake at the finish.
 [never has a slab of cake vanished quite so quickly!]

rudolph run brought to you by edinburghrunningnetwork

"You are invited to the inaugural ERN Rudolph Run on Sunday 23rd December. Meeting at Glenogle Swim Centre at 1000, the run is approximately 7 miles long and takes in the Stockbridge Colonies, the Water of Leith walkway, Roseburn Cycle Track, Orchard Bank, Fettes and back round by the Botanics (with all eyes peeled for the Botanics' tallest decorated Christmas tree). There's also a shorter 3 mile run if you'd prefer or if you want to make a mince pie/festive booze preemptive strike, feel free to run the route twice or there is a 13 miler for any dedicated D33 folks.

Dress will be on a Christmas theme; Santa, Elves, Rudolph (you know the score) so look out the tinsel, antlers and Santa hats. Jen says it's compulsory so no shirking unless you have a medically certified Christmas allergy! There will be prizes for the best dressed helper.

We'll adjourn afterwards to a local hostelry for a post run dram/coffee/pint, all welcome. Remember that facilities are available at Glenogle if you want to bring stuff to shower/change post-run."
