Countesswells Woods

This is a favourite Hidden Peak venue. We will make good use of some of the traditional woodland trails and the newly resurfaced paths around Countesswells Woods.

Session Structure

Warm-Up
We will begin with a progressive warm-up through a woodland trail, incorporating light jogging, mobility work, and dynamic stretches. 

Main Set 1: 1min & 2min Intervals on an undulating route

• 2 min effort
• 10x1min efforts
• 2min effort
• Each effort is on a woodland trail.
• Recovery: at the end of each effort we will jog/walk to regroup so that everyone starts together.

Main Set 2: Short hill sprints

• 6 × 20sec effort
• Recovery: Jog back

These shorter intervals increase intensity and focus on technique and power .

Cool Down
The session will finish with a gradual cool-down jog transitioning into stretching. 

TUESDAY 28th MAY 2026 6pm to 7pm
