Good training week this week with a little bit of trail running creeping into the beginners session. great to see you all still hard at it and training a bit in between too. The Thursday Group ran hard and fast (it was far too cold to do otherwise!!) with an interval session followed by some speed work led by Freya so thanks to her. Friday group was small but select this week, Vicky, Alison and I did 3.5 miles..a record for the daytime group.

Sundays Fun run in Lochgilphead has been cancelled.

Note re holidays...we shall be carrying on with the two evening groups as usual over the holidays but NOT the Friday morning session. That will resume after the holidays thanks to Alison who has offered to lead when I can't manage.

Thanks to you all for a good week...what a great turnout we are getting. it is really encouraging to see you all. If anyone is struggling for company in their extra weekly runs get in touch and we will see what we can do to support etc.
 The tuesday group had a great session with lots of longer runs between the walks..everyone is progressing really well and the mileage is creeping up. 



Thank you so much to all those who came to the Reddy Steady Run on Thursday night. Despite a rather damp mile you raised £76.36 which is fantastic. Great to see Tilly there, and thanks to Wendy and Pippy for their help. a good session after the mile with a hill session from Freya, some lovely skipping and some running as well!

Thursday group led by Penny was pretty chilly but they soon warmed up covering 4 miles or so. Great to have Paul back for a visit and looking so well, a great inspiration who has just signed up for The Crinan Puffer.
