*  All about our Club

*    Running Night Format:

After arriving we have a warm-up, this is very important if you want to avoid injuries, then the road captain explains the choice of routes.

*    Routes:

Routes vary in length.  We try to cater for all abilities.

Beginners courses usually start by walking/jogging around the perimeter of Dawson Park (1.25 miles).

There is usually a medium distance run of between 2 and 4 miles and a longer run of between 4 and 6 miles.  These runs build up over a 4 week cycle.

To add a bit of variety, we sometimes invite a coach to give us a training session to help us improve.  For example speed, stamina, technique or maybe even all three!

We pound the streets in and around the Broughty Ferry Area and in the summer include the nearby countryside.

*    Away Nights for Summer 2008

On the first Monday of the month between May and September we go to an off-road location such as Camperdown Country Park, Tentsmuir or Broughty Ferry Beach to make best use of the beautiful surroundings Tayside has to offer.  See below for a timetable of this year's away nights:

*    Events

      Every March we hold our own 5k Fun run n Monikie Country Park, which is open to all women over the ages of 17.  In September, we also often  run a second event at Crombie Country Park.

*    Safety Information

Wear something white, bright or fluorescent so you can be seen.  The club provides fluorescent bands to wear around the body.

Make sure you know where the run is going.

Always run with a group of at least one other person.

Be aware of the people behind you - run back to check they are okay - use the run back as speed training.

Be sure to warm down after the run and don't let yourself get cold.

Always cross your name off the list when you get back so the road captain knows you are safe.
