Feedback from participants to our training, tours and events.
" The Wednesday running sessions are fantastic. Again Avril has an excellent running coach, and I look forward to each Wednesday to join a fun packed class with like minded women. Who knew that running could be fun as well as hard work? I love the warm and supportive environment that Avril has created. It’s just magic "
"I absolutely loved it (Ardnamurchan tour). I was desperately trying to think of anything that could have been better and can't think of anything … you were so thorough with your kit checks and looking after us that it was perfect. Thank you for an amazing weekend"
"Such a great group with amazing events. WRS events are different from any others in the way they build your confidence."
"A well organised and enjoyable event, amazing scenery ... lots of camaraderi
"Had such a fabulous time, trotting along in the sunshine getting offered jelly babies every few miles! I loved the emphasis on enjoying the day & not worrying about speed, and it was great to celebrate with a glass of bubbly"
"Fab, fab, fab day out ... Totally loved it, would definitely recommend and will be back!"

Get started and gear
If you can walk you can run and you don't need fancy gear!
Running is just a faster form of walking. With a little training you can shift pace and run. The hardest part is starting, a training plan is essential. The second hardest part is motivating yourself to run on a bad day, that's why we started our group training. With a plan and a trainer and group support you will be amazed how you can run more to explore new places. Join our Groups in Edinburgh if you can.
Check out our Facebook page for inspiration, ideas and support from other women. We have a private group on Facebook Women Run Strong Tribe, join it for open chats about all things running and fitting it in your life!
To get you started, if you can't join a group, here's our Women Run Strong 5 km training . You only need 25 – 30 mins, 3 days a week.
Just contact us if you have questions.
You don't need fancy gear to run. Shoes are the most important piece of kit, get advice from a good running shop like Run4It
We love our own t-shirts and buffs. Light layers are good because you will warm up very quickly once you start running.
Get into the Women Run Strong mood with our t-shirts, hoodies, buffs, send us a message if you'd like to wear our message #strongerthanyouthink
