Easter Break

There are some fantastic efforts being made at the moment with the 50x5 challenge being taken up by quite a few jogscotland members who are walking, running, cycling, yoga-ing and generally exercising for 30 minutes or 5k per day so well done to you all!! The summer session begins next week with a new beginners block running on the Tuesdays alongside an advanced beginners course. So, come along on a Tuesday and choose the session you feel most like, a wee reinforcement of the walk-jog or something a little more challenging. You can choose the session most fitting to you on the night, everyone welcome whatever their ability. Please spread the word, the more the merrier! Looking forward to seeing everyone back to the regular groups next week with the Friday group back on at 9am. With the lighter nights we shall be trying to get onto the trails around and about Inveraray as much as possible.....

Round up and so many events...Go on, Sign up...you know you want to!!

So much to catch up on! the Friday group got off to a great start last week with four of us enjoying a run in the daylight and who would not be loving this fabulous weather right now...there is no excuse not to get out and about! The Tuesday Girls are doing really well with much longer sustained runs and a bit of circuits to support that all important core.  The Thursday Group had a straight run this week...4.2 miles around the back of Inverararay and the Castle Grounds. Several events are in the offing now as the evenings are getting lighter and spring is on its way. Foe all those beginners...oh and the rest of us too, now is the time to set yourself a goal and get motivated to keep running. Below are several events that are informal, fun and the odd walk is allowable!
