AWAYDAY Saturday 5th October at 0930.

Hi everyone, as we are now in the midst of Autumn its time we took the Saturday run out of the city again!.  This time the plan is to run through South Queensferry (from the sea front) to Hopetoun House, round the back of the estate to Abercorn and back to  where we started. 

The date will be Saturday 5th October at 0930. 

For Fiona's beginner groups, there is a shorter run to Hopetoun House gate and back (still a really picturesque run) approx. 3.5 - 4 miles.

If possible can joggers car share to get out to South Queensferry.

The Railway Bridge cafĂ© is just opposite the car park and has outside seating for anyone who wants to stay for a coffee and cake after.

A further email with directions and hopefully a map of the route, however there will be enough jog leaders there to keep everyone on track.

For this run all proceeds from the usual Saturday run will be donated to Alzheimers Scotland.


Attached is a map Brendan has sent to indicate parking, will send a route of the map nearer the time.
 http://gb.mapometer.com/running/route_3661444.html  (zoom out to see where the car park is indicated, there may be a cruise ship visit on the day, if thats the case the parking is more restricted, but there will be ample parking on Hawes Brae - just next to Hawes inn).

Also if I've missed anyone off the email list apologies, but please forward on to anyone you think might be interested.

If you are able to come, if you can let me, Brendan or Fi know that would be helpful just to have an idea of numbers.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

sunday yoga for runners

This is a beginners/intermediate class particularly suitable for running and endurance sports. It aims to help runners to run more comfortably, safely and maybe even improve their PBs. . By focusing on breath exercises it encourages expanding lung capacity, breath control and tuning-in to the bodies' oxygen needs. Focusing on the breath can calm and clear the mind , a key part of a runners strategy, when things get tough. The class also focuses on core strength and stability, to improve stride effectiveness and reduces the risk of injury. Distance runners' legs experience long periods of repetitive short strides, and this can get hard wired into muscle memory causing stiffness and reduced range when not running. The class focuses on hamstring and thigh stretches, knee stability as well as strengthening and increasing flexibility of the feet, flexibility particularly legs, hips and back. The class also builds heat to help increase stamina and aid flexibility and offers effective supportive cross training.
