If you're new to running, or worried about keeping up the miles when the bad weather hits, grab yourself a brew and take a minute to watch this wee video (ok, its a little longer than a minute 😀)

After receiving a number of questions last week, I've tried to offer a little kit advice to help give you the confidence to head out to your local trails to try to make the most of the wintery conditions.

I've also included links to more information and some interesting reads.

As always feel free to get in touch with any questions or comments.
Enjoy.

A thought provoking read, with some points I’ll touch upon in this weekend winter running video 👍🏼🏃🏻‍♀️❄️

Also, hit this link to take a read of Tim Budd’s blog I shared last year. Gets ya thinkin! 🤔 https://testedtodestruction.blogspot.com/2020/02/go-outside-sit-down-wait.html

It may have been a lockdown-friendly local route he knew well, but a surprise slip on icy ground put fell runner Nick Small in a serious predicament, a situation he hadn't gone well equipped to deal...

‼️ Video Inbound ‼️
After some of my recent pics and videos I’ve had a few folk ask for advice on getting out running in winter.
“How many layers do you have?”, “Are you wearing spikes”, and “What’s in your pack?” we’re probably the most common questions so I’ll be posting a video this weekend covering the clothing and footwear I tend to use, and things I’ll always carry when running on local trails in winter 😀

Absolutely stunning views across Moray today ❤️

Winter sometimes provides the most amazing vistas, but does the arrival of colder weather tend to keep you off the trails❓

With a little knowledge and some tweaks to your kit list you can continue your adventures year round 🏃🏻‍♂️🏔❄️

Look out for our upcoming Intro to Trail Running, and Trail Running Improver sessions in the coming weeks!

First attempt at ‘proper’ orienteering this weekend and absolutely loved it.

Decided to test my navigation abilities on the tougher course and didn’t completely embarrass myself 😀🗺🧭
Finished, didn’t get too lost, and didn’t break anything!

A great event hosted by Moravian Orienteering Club with courses suitable for all - elites, kids, mums with toddlers.
I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
Finished with cracking coffee and cake from Roast2coast Coffee to reward my efforts ☕️🍪
