Hot run!!

A very hot run indeed so thank you very much to all who came and did the three miles through the baking sun and not much cooler shade!...not just three miles but hills too so a big pat on the back and keep at it over the next week...I am so chuffed with your progress. Anyone fancy this 5k?
The results of the voting for club clothing etc are
Traditional T shirt and Fleece with long zip.
The Inveraray Trail Busters and the Royal Burgh Runners tied
"The faster you run the Faster your are done" tied with "Are we nearly there yet".....will put up another poll so you can vote directly between these choices...so pick a slogan and a name each...thanks...we are getting there! As for colours we decided on black and yellow with black as the main colour, the T shirts will just have the chosen name plus inveraray jogscotland and the fleeces will have the slogan as well if it is not too pricey..

Well done to those intermediates too! Repeat Hill sprints on the big Hill itself and all ran fast enough to dodge the midges...then a nice run out and about, thank you Freya, Linda, Penny and Fiona.

Great turn out depsite the Argyll drizzle

So chuffed with the beginners group last night...good turn out in the drizzle and a good amount of running...a minimum of 3.1 miles covered by all....more by some.  after the warm up we did a bit of rather random relay work which did the trick to get everyone ready for a really good out and back run.Well done all of you! Homework would be to go out for a couple of runs for 15-30 minutes or so, whatever fits in with your day and just run/walk as you feel able. Try to be disciplined about restarting your running when you and/or your running buddy is/are ready.....it is easy to forget to get going again when chatting! it is always easier and more motivating to run with someone else if you can but not essential and you all seem to be doing something every week so keep up the good work. Any issues or problems please let me know.

Only Penny and me at the Intermediate Group and so training (saving it for next week!!) was shelved in favour of a run out which was shamefully short as my feet hurt!! Sorry and thanks for your tolerance Penny!

Lovely night for it.....

Fabulous running from both groups...the earlier group are really getting there, showing such enthusiasm and progressing really well so keep at it guys!  The mileage was a gnats whisker off last weeks but you ran so much more and worked harder. It was great to see Jackie again too. For homework or if you missed the session try to get out and do a 20 minute or 1/2 hour session repeating the two minute runs with a recovery between...or for as long as you feel comfortable with. Don't forget to warm up,cool down and STRETCH!! Please feel free to give me any feedback or get in touch. The later group did really well too on a very warm evening running along to the caravan park with a couple of paced miles along a five mile route...really hard to keep that speed down to race pace. Thanks everyone and see you next week.

Crinan Puffer

A gorgeous day for a lovely run and didn't they do us proud...a fabulous run by the Inveraray group with Toby scooping 1st junior and 7th overall (54:30) in a fast field and Fiona knocking a massive 3 and 6s minutes off her time. Liz was second of the group to cross the line in 1:09:55 closely followed by Penny 1:11:23. Alison (1:23:51)and Fiona (1:23:56) buddied together for the 8.5 miles with a sprint at the end just splitting the two.
