Our most recent training weekend took place on 11-13 November, based at the Hilton Craigendarroch in Ballater.

Guests came from as far afield as N London and Campbletown in Western Scotland to enjoy the guided runs and excellent expert advice.

How often do you get the chance to run (and stay for some of the guests!) on the beautiful Balmoral estate? Add to that the expert advice from world leading speakers -

Prof Ron Maughan, fresh from advising Premier League and European football professionals on nutrition and hydration gave an illuminating insight into how much you can gain from the correct approach to what you eat and drink.
Mel Edwards spent the whole weekend giving group and individual advice on training and motivation - running alongside a top level marathon coach is not something you can do every day!!
and Kenny Herriot, hot from his success at the New York marathon inspired us all with his philosphy on life and his motivation to succeed.

With sports massage, running form and gait analysis and a Pilates taster session, the weekend had something for everyone.

The group varied widely in ability, but all managed to delight us with their progress over the weekend - the smiles at the end of the runs outside Balmoral Castle said it all!

Matt from Glasgow said... "I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the weekend. The runs, the talks, the accommodation and the organisation were all superb."
Sue from Milton Keynes said..."Meeting such motivated people who obviously get such a lot from running was so helpful....Thank you very much!! I will definitely be back!!"
Bob from Herts said..."An excellent group of participants of diverse abilities, but all appeared well catered for. The weekend exceeded my expectations...Thanks and well done!"
