Workout in the Woods

Hi,
My name's James Buchanan and my wife and I run www.dunbarfitness.co.uk . I would like to extend an invitation to all Dunbar Running Club members to join our Workout in the Woods session on Wednesdays at 6.30pm, meeting at the corner of Middlemass and Kellie Road.The first session will be free for members of your club and £4.00 after or 11 sessions for £40. We use a mixture of interval running, strength endurance exercises with kettlebells, medicine balls and TRX, along with 1-1 pad work. As an ex-distance runner/triathlete myself I know the importance of race pace intervals, pushing the anaerobic threshold, strengthening the ligaments in the knees and strengthening the posterior chain and core muscles for correct running technique. Various recent studies also show the benefit of this type of training for aerobic exercise. My wife Cristina is also a CYQ qualified running coach trained in the pose method. Please pass the message to your club members and I hope to see some of you next week.
Yours,
James Buchanan

Anyone Fancy a Hill Race or an Ultra?

The Edinburgh to North Berwick on Saturday proved to be a scorcher as the rain earlier in the day died out, making the 20 mile route quite tough on the competitors.

Ian Sills came second overall with an impressive time of 2:10:19, with Stuart Hay finishing 4th in 2:13:55. Rhona Anderson was second female overall, finishing in 2:24:10. Lee Curtis finished in 2:40:19 just a week after competing in the Stuc a Chroin. Neal Wyatt finished in 2.44.12, Anne Hay in 2:55:41 and Neil Jones 2:59:52.

It was still pretty warm on Sunday for the Gala 10K with Grant Noble taking 6th place with a time of 35:24.

The previous weekend, the temperatures were described as like being in an oven, with Ian Rowland being the 85th finisher (out of 320 with 58 dropping out en-route) in the 53 mile West Highland Way with a time of 10:30:36.

Lee Curtis achieved a pb in the Stuc a Chroin 5000 on the same day (the 5000 representing the total climb in feet). This one is always run on the Saturday before the May Day holiday, so a date for the diary for anyone who fancies it next year......

Here is the handbook. P14-17 for details of Division 3 fixtures.

CSSAL Track & Field

If any senior club members with SAF membership fancy some track and field events, then why not get along to the next CSSAL meetings where you can take part in various distances ranging from 100m through to the 3km. Alternatively try out some of the field events such as high jump, long jump or javelin (full list & details on page 14-17 of attachment) Dunbar is one of the few clubs not bringing many adults to these competitions, despite having plenty of talent amongst our seniors to give the other clubs a bit of a challenge. And by taking part we get points for the club.

Our juniors took part yesterday and put in an excellent performance, winning many of their Division 3 events. The next events are:
- 5th June, Linwood
- 3rd July, Wishaw
It is highly likely that there will be a bus going with the juniors and spaces could be available so let Scott Turner or Roger Maguire (Junior Coaches) know if you are interested.

Highland Flings
