A small island out in the Atlantic; a cold blustery January Saturday morning 9:30am and a few hardy local residents turn up for Boot Camp. Half an hour running outside followed by some circuits in the community hall. Braving the weather was also the new recruits for Junior Boot Camp. Well done everyone for a really great workout, it was good to see such a range of ages all enjoying being active on Tiree.

So, it’s coming up to the end of the month. As agreed that means it’s time for the 5km trial. You can run, jog, walk or a mixture of all three. Nothing else counts; no bikes, horses, cars, piggy backs. This is a good workout and is a great measure of fitness for anyone training for the Tiree 10k.
