Lunchtime intervals run by Carnethy members. Check first! Inverleith Park Contact Mike Jones Calton Hill Gyle Park (irregular!) 7pm Tuesday night hill-reps session, meeting at Swanston. Meet ready-to-run at 7pm Swanston parking This is a time-based hill-rep session and is open to all abilities. Although the session will vary each week, a rough guideline is around 20 minutes of hard effort over the course of an hour. We will be making use of the varied off-road trails around Swanston and both trail/fell shoes and a headtorch are required (once the clocks change). Contact: Captains/Hillreps |

Wednesday Club Training NightA variety of runs from different locations. Paces to suit all. Details on the google docs published each week. Sign up via the google doc here Contact: queries@carnethy.com |
Thursday |
7:00pm Intervals
Thursday night hill-reps session, AKA Wintervals once the nights have drawn in. NB headtorch compulsory in the winter months! Contact: hillreps@carnethy.com Each Thursday we meet to do some intervals sessions around Arthur’s Seat. Each session will be around half an hour, so plenty of time to get back for tea. Each week we’ll try to do something a bit different in terms of terrain. Note: after the clocks change it will be dark and we might not have good street lighting where we end up doing the session. Again – headtorches compulsory in winter! Look forward to seeing you there! |
Friday |
7am – 8am Carnethy Strength and Conditioning Group Doing S&C is important but doing it solo is difficult. This is a very mixed-ability group doing strength and conditioning work. Note we are currently unqualified enthusiasts (although Andy is undertaking Yoga Teacher Training). We can demo exercises but we wouldn’t be comfortable correcting individuals on their technique. What to bring – A mat, strength bands. How much? – The club hires the hall and we all chip in £5. Neil M is collecting the money so give him money at the class – transfer or cash. Venue – St Catherine’s Argyle Church If you want more info contact – Andrew Douglas, Helen Gibson or Neil McLure |
Weekend |
9am Slow Sunday Pentlands Social Run (last Sunday of the month unless Sean is away) When I say slow I mean walking up hills and regularly re-grouping so no one is left behind. This run is for people who may be new to hill running and/or feel they aren’t ready to do a full-on club run. Or anyone else who wants to enjoy a socially paced run in the Pentlands. Come out and see that you are ready to join in on a club run.The plan is to meet outside Sainsbury/Craigdon/Cobbs at 9 am ready to run. (here) **Note: We have parked in the parking lot and it was ok, but there are signs saying not to. Perhaps park on side streets just north. Be out in the hills for about 1.5 – 2 hours. Distance: ~10 km Ascent: ~500 m Even though we are only planning two hours be prepared for a day in the hills. We book a table at Cobbs for afterwards so please indicate on the sign up sheet if you are staying for coffee/food/chat. Details circulated by club email and on FB group before every run (it is usually the last Sunday of the month but can vary based on Sean’s travel plans). Check schedule and sign up here If you want more info contact – Sean Walker (s_e_walker@yahoo.com) |
Navigation training From time to time there will be navigation training. Details will be sent out by email. |
