Inveraray hits the three session a week high!

Good week for Inveraray runners and fabulous to see so much improvement. The Tuesday Group had a session of walk-jogging with more of the latter and less of the former and then a Chi Hills session from Janet followed by a cool down. Keep up the good work and try to get out and about in this good running weather.
Thursday group led by Alison had a good 3.75m session with a repeat of the hill running session from Janet...Thanks Girls.




New Friday Daytime Group got off to a great start on a lovely chilly morning jog to Carloonan Bridge and back the hard way! Well done to Alison, Jessica and Vicky. this session is as a social running group and is for all levels.

Tuesday Group week Four

Nearly three miles last night with the Tuesday Group...plus some circle runs and circuits.The latter may seems pointless to start with but the skill will come and they do help build up your core to help protect  you from injuries. Talking of injuries this seems a good site for checking out pains and aches and treatments/exercises etc.

Tuesday Group Homework
Continue out with the run/walk as you feel comfortable...be disciplined about restarting the run bit as your breathing recovers. The warm up walk could be shorter if you feel ready to run but cool down and stretch as usual. Repeat a couple of times in the next week. If you are ready for it try to increase slightly the times that you are running each time...even a few seconds is good. Well done last night and keep at it...Everyone is doing really well, and it is good to see that people who get a pull or a niggle are being sensible and taking care too....it helps in the long run (Ooops sorry for the pun!). Please could anyone who has not returned their JS form to me or filled one in please do so by next week please. 

This weeks route

New Group
Thinking of starting a daytime group in the morning at school drop off time for a social run out at your own pace...no training just a run. Friday is looking like a good day...please give me your comments.

week three beginners and the Thursday wild weather runners....

Great going again on Tuesday...that homework is paying off. We easily did 3-4 minutes steady running from the offices to the Castle entrance. If you missed this week do not worry just go out and warm up ten minutes or so then walk/jog as your breathing and legs allow, give yourself enough time between jogs to recover and then go again. Aim for 20-25 minutes with a cool down, Try to do that a couple of times before next week, or cross train with a swim, cycle or walk etc. keep up that great positive attitude...if you can get together with others for the homework...it helps to chat too! Hope you are enjoying it as much as I am!

A wee reminder for the Crinan Puffer..a great local challenge along the canal..and it is flat!!

Struggling with the stupid Nike App for tonights stats but take it from me it was 6.63k/4.12m tonight through hail, rain,wind and lightening so WELL DONE the hardcore girls who made it tonight for a lovely run and sprinteroony round the car park.

Good luck to Jillian, Penny, Alison and Wendy who are taking up the jogscotland challenge and doing their leaders course on Saturday.
