These training sessions are usually held at the Deveron Centre in Banff and are coached by David Naughton. David has been coaching with the club for many years now providing a wide variety of different sessions and other activities,he tries to tailor each session to a personal ability level.

The sessions usual start the same way with an easy run to warm up and then some drills, ranging from the usual high knees and butt-kicks to weird and wacky ones called karioka and K kicks, just to warm up the muscles you might forget.

Afterwards, the session truly starts and these sessions can be Fartleks, intervals or even the infamous Mona Fartlek. These sessions will either be based around time or distance but will usually last no more than 30min with around 3-4 miles in total.

After everyone has finished we do stretches to properly relax the muscles. If this sounds something you might be interested in, come to the Deveron Centre at 6:30 on any Monday to join in and have fun.

Please check the Facebook page before coming incase a session has been canceled. Although this is rare as we train even in the toughest conditions.
