Club Calendar
Melissa Wall has been kind enough to put together a simple calendar which details club events and some of the more regularly attended races. Please take a look at it here and with the events web page, get planning your 2011 season of running.
Sunday Morning Training Programme
Sunday runs remain open to all club members at the normal meeting place at Rothiemurchus and Aviemore Tennis Club at 10am. These are not organised runs and will not be led by a jog leader, just turn up and run, the emphasis is on a social run followed by coffee and cakes. There will be 30, 45, 60 and longer runs available, just turn up and join in and bring a friend from the Club.
2011 Club Season
The 2011 club season began on Monday 28 March/Wednesday 30 March 2011. During the spring and summer we offered a variety of training options, with Mondays being a jogscotland run night. We followed the jogscotland Training Programmes which aimed to increase the intensity and duration you run each week. The programmes were for all abilities but more particularly for beginners and intermediates who are aiming to increase their stamina and fitness through increased time and distance. In winter we are offering Mon and Wed sessions at 6:30pm using headtorches for as long as the weather allow us to get out. Sunday runs will continue as long as the snow allows. However keep an eye on the web, emails and facebook for any changes. See example training programmes on the 'Take up Running Page'.
