Navigation for runners and Mountain running skills
Well that is another successful weekend of skills training completed with a fab group of runners.
Saturday we had a Navigation for runners day, based around the forest trails in Rothiemurchus and Glenmore.

Sunday was Mountain Running Skills, with 80 mph gusts on Cairngorm the first important skill was looking at weather forecasts and coming up with a good plan that wasn't going to mean getting blown away!
We came up with a great route, through the forest and up onto the high ground west of Aviemore, bagging the Corbett Geal Charn Mor.
This gave us an opportunity to practice and build on all of the new navigation skills as well as working on our downhill running technique to keep us moving smoothly over rough terrain.
Somehow we managed to dodge the heavy showers and stayed dry all weekend.
Thanks team for a great weekend.

Latest News
On the 29th May I completed the Martin Moran Round in Torridon, in a time of 21 hours and 45 minutes, becoming the first person to repeat the round since it was created in 2022.
Just because someone puts some nice pictures on instagram and seems to do a lot of skydiving, you wouldn’t jump out of a plane with them before asking a few more questions! If you are heading into the mountains, or remote trails of Scotland, you should also have a few questions to ask when choosing a running guide.
Vision
At Trail Running Scotland we are working hard towards the vision of a vibrant community of runners, connected through shared values of health, wellbeing, personal performance and an appreciation of the wild places we choose to play in. We aim to do this by providing the highest quality of skills training and inspirational experiences.
Values
We believe:
- The environment in which we run is fundamental to our enjoyment of the sport.
- Connection with our landscape and natural history fosters a greater appreciation of our environment and therefore our impact upon it.
- Every runner has the potential to develop given the right training and motivation.
- Every runner can find their own personal version of high performance.
- Every running experience should be fun.
- The trail running community should be welcoming, inclusive and diverse.
We are proud to support The Green Runners
