fitness training camps on the islands in march - tiree & majorca! what's not to like?



Mallorca:  9th - 16th March, 5 places left
Tiree: 20th - 25th March, 3 places left

Both Training Camps are suitable for a wide range of abilities, from recreational runners through to ironman athletes - and we've got people from both ends of that spectrum signed up! As a minimum though we would suggest that people are able to run or jog 5km's, or at least give it a good go! But more important than pace is the willingness to train together, encourage each other, and the programme itself can be structured so everyone is challenged and comes away totally fired up.

Here's the link to the Tiree Fitness website: http://www.tireefitness.co.uk/training-camps/when-and-where/
And the Mallorca Camp is run in partnership with White Rock MultiSport: http://www.whiterockmultisport.co.uk 

 Anyone who signs up for the Mallorca camp through this email can get £50 off the cost of the camp.

Thanks for your help. And if you're on Tiree and looking for a training partner give me a shout.

Jenny Tyler pilates for running

Following very positive feedback after my first 2 Pilates for Running workshops I'm running another one on Wednesday 29th January at FASIC, Centre for Sport and Exercise, 46 Pleasance, Edinburgh, EH8 9TJ. My background as a chartered physiotherapist (since 1990) and a Body Control Pilates instructor (since 2003) means that I have encountered many runners (and their associated injuries!) over the years. The Pilates exercises we will cover are easy to incorporate into your training and are not time consuming. You will receive a comprehensive hand-out. This is probably the last running workshop I'll do for a few months but I am doing a Pilates for Triathlon workshop on February 26th and Pilates for Golf on March 26th if anyone is interested. 

There is a flier attached with booking details and if you have any questions please get in touch.

Thanks for your help.

efficient moving & then there's jumping on & off walls too. starting in edinburgh next week!

http://www.accessparkour.com/

The Access Class  
will run Tuesday 8-9pm
Cost: £8 for one off sessions. £6 per session for block bookings.
Age: 25+ (enquire for exceptions)
Where: Mary Erskine Sports Centre

Email class@accessparkour.com to book onto the course.

Generally when most people think about parkour, they imagine young men running from stunt to spectacular stunt. While those stunts can be quite fun, parkour is so much more than that. It is, at its core, a philosophy of self-improvement. And this is the ethos of the Access class. This class is based on the conditioning and mobility work developed by parkour coaches to strengthen the body and act as a safe introduction to basic movements. These movements start at the very beginning, focusing on body awareness and healthy movement patterns.

The Adult Parkour classes 
will run Monday and Thursday 7-9pm
Cost: £8 (Student discounts, just ask)
Age: 16+
Where: Central Edinburgh. An Email is sent out with the exact location the day before the class

The outdoor classes are normally pitched at beginners, making them easily accessible. But the movements and techniques are scalable for more advanced practitioners. The core aim of our parkour class is to build functional fitness through fundamental training, as well as providing a challenging and stimulating class environment that builds strength as well as confidence.

Outdoor classes take place throughout the year in all types of weather; the training is simply altered to be appropriate and safe for whatever training conditions we come across.

The class that caught my mother's attention is 
the Family Class:
Where: Bristo Square
When: 10am-11am Saturday
Cost: £6 for one child, £4 for each subsequent child. Also includes access to the free parent’s class that runs in parallel.
Age: 8-12 (Fudging of ages is possible)
Parent’s/Guardian’s MUST stay in attendance during the class. They are always invited to join in the free parent’s class or to just sit and watch if they prefer.
