Hi there from us all at Running The Highlands.

Check out the website - www.runningthehighlands.com - for up to date information about special breaks, tailored holidays, guided runs and other activities we offer!

Our latest training weekend in March was a great success - in deep powder snow!! Check out the website for a review of the weekend and to read some of the comments from our guests.

We have added an extra training weekend at Balmoral Castle Estate - 17-19 November 2006 with prices from £208 FULL BOARD including guided runs, one-to-one coaching sessions with Mel Edwards, Pilates, and lots more .....all in the shadow of the Queen's Summer Residence at Balmoral. A unique opportunity to train and relax in beautiful surroundings. First class accommodation (no 'roughing it' here!) and fabulous, nutritious food and great company... see the website for a booking form (we are already receiving bookings, so be quick!)

Don't forget we have other special weekend breaks in 2006, including:

• 28-30 April: Balmoral Tartan 10k Road Race weekend
• 16-18 June: Special Training Weekend with Kathrine Switzer (pioneer of women's marathon running) and Roger Robinson (former elie athlete)
• 28-31 July: Ballater 10 Mile Road Race weekend
• 1-4 September: Moray Marathon, Half and 10k race weekend
• 29 Sept - 2 Oct: Loch Ness Festival of Running weekend
• 30 Dec - 2 Jan: Hogmanay and Lumphanan Detox 10k Race weekend
  

Mel's Monthly Training Tips are now posted every month on the site. April's Tips are about injury prevention - an area of interest for all runners no matter what your age or level of ability. (We all know how frustrating it is to be off running because of injury!) Take a look.

Finally - GOOD LUCK to all our Running The Highlands guests who are in the Flora London Marathon later this month.... hope the training helped - we'll be watching for you!

Happy Running!
