Running In The Scottish Highlands

The Scottish Highlands.

Scottish Highlands hotel The Lovat is launching a new running and fitness break, November 12 to 14, 2010.

At the southern tip of Loch Ness, The Lovat has designed the package for people who want to work on their fitness and endurance in an outdoor environment and learn about diet and nutrition.

Personal trainers John Macnamara and Lesley Laird, from Glasgow-based fitness firm Functional PT, will work with participants.

The two-night break is geared towards the regular runner.  Outdoor endurance running sessions will be combined with educational seminars to yoga sessions.

Says The Lovat’s Caroline Gregory:

“It is important for people to have variety in their training and everyone is continually looking for something that is a little bit different.  The Lovat has unrivaled access to the great outdoors – within two minutes of leaving the hotel you can be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by hills, trees and fresh air – it is truly invigorating.”

The fitness and running weekend will include two nights accommodation in a twin room, breakfast, dinner, brunch and fitness sessions.
