edinburgh marathon festival

well done to all who took part in the running events over last weekend, some amazing running despite the changeable weather.
Congratulations to Lee Ansett with a new marathon Pb, Gillian White with a new half marathon Pb & George for finishing a half marathon without getting cramp. Perhaps there is something to this magnesium oil!
& last but not least , the intrepid Saturday morning crowd [& Steven Burnett ] who set off on a particularly hilly 10K course & seemed to have a good time doing it.

MUSSELBURGH 10K

Hi Westwoods runners,
The sizzling Saturday running group are setting their sights on a 10K goal in July. Ali has suggested the excellent Musselburgh 10K on Sat 23rd. So if you've wanted to set a goal for the summer but haven't yet got round to it, why not consider this fine, flat run? Full details at foot of e mail.
How about it... Tuesday and Thursday runners?

On the remaining Saturday mornings running up to July 23rd
we will be running approximate 10K routes in the Westwoods area to help prepare for the distance (starting tomorrow at 9.30am with a 10K affording exceptional views over the city).
Links to two levels of training schedules are below (depending on your time available and experience) - if you start either of these schedules towards end of May you'll have the recommended 8 weeks of the plan completed by the day of the 10K. Any questions, please feel free to get in touch.
