Next training sesssion is Wednesday 4th March at 6.30pm.

TRAINING CANCELLED - WED 12 FEB

I have been up to Calderglen to make a risk assessment. So with some of our running routes covered in snow and ice it would not be safe for young athletes to venture out the park.  Also the temperatures will dip to 0c and feel like -4c so running on cricket pitch or golf course will make a very cold session.

So rest up and have a night off with a hot chocolate, warm blanket and good film. Or doing a mini circuit session in your house running up the stairs multiple times and how fast you can do it or press ups, sit ups, the plank.  The choice is yours....?

As normal please spread the word please to any other members or parents you know.

I have put a message on the junior FB page and will send out emails with the hope I will catch everyone.
