The weekly training that takes place in Edinburgh provides the perfect opportunity to do as much or as little as you feel like, with orgaised sessions on every day of the week apart from Friday. Orienteers and runners of all abilities are welcome. Monday is the Orienteering Club's social night and Thursday is "orienteering night" when we practise the basic skills of map reading in local parks around Edinburgh ready to get out into the forests at the weekend.

18:15 - Jog

Join up with the Hare and Hounds for a jog. Meet at Dick Vet Corner of the Meadows.

18:15 - Running Intervals

Meet at the Dick Vet Corner of the meadows. This is a running session where we join up with the Hare and Hounds running club. All abilities welcome.
The session progresses over the year, so get stuck in now! We will do different intervals each week, ranging from 12x400m to 4x1.2km. The rest inbetween will shorten over the year.

16:00 - Circuits

Strength and conditioning at CSE Circuits Gym. Suitable for all abilities, one hour long. Description from Steve Bishop, S&C coach:

'More than a runners "circuit" session, these sessions aim to achieve
whole body "conditioning" for running athletes through a variety of
training methods: dynamic core, running technique, mobility/agilty,
local muscular endurance, balance on a variety of stable and unstable
surfaces, proprioception, plyometrics etc. etc. Better force generation
and movement control can be enhanced by agility runs (ladders and
hurdles), dynamic core (medicine ball workouts) and movement specific
plyometrics (jumping and bounding).'

18:00 - Eating

Following circuits, go to someone's house for dinner. Place to change each week. If you didn't go to circuits, meet at 6pm at specified flat. Followed by night out on the town...
