Upcoming Sessions
We understand that Thursday nights at West Edinburgh Running Club form just one part of your training and running life. So that you can plan effectively, we'd like to give you a sense of what to expect at club over the next few weeks.
Please note that when we plan Thursday night sessions we take a number of factors in to account; our membership, the weather, how busy the surrounding areas are, number of coaches etc. This can require your coaching team to make changes to the sessions with little to no notice. We recognise for some that this may have impact on your overall training regime, thus we will only make changes when it is felt absolutely necessary and attempt to give notice where possible.
