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.

Wednesday

16:30 - 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).'

Extended weights session from 17:00- 17:45, for those who want lean mean bodies.
