NORTH PIER DOLPHIN RUN

Our session on North Pier last year was hugely popular, so we are excited to be making a return visit. The Pier is just under 500m long and has a good walking/running surface. It offers amazing views of the city and coast - and dolphin spotting is a regular occurrence. Hopefully weather conditions will be as good as they were in 2025, but if the Pier should be closed we will do an alternative workout nearby.

Here's what we have planned:

Warm up and activation, to include a series of increasingly faster strides taking us to the end of the Pier

6 min tempo effort.

8 x 1min efforts with 1 min recovery 

6 x 30sec efforts with 1 min recovery.

Run to the Port - one final strong effort from one end of the Pier to the other.

Cool down and stretches.

🌟 What else to expect

• Coaching and guidance throughout
• A friendly, encouraging group atmosphere
• A calm, scenic environment perfect for focused training

All abilities are welcome, and we’re always happy to see new faces—whether you’re just starting out or looking to push your fitness further.

This is an all inclusive session suitable for all runners. No-one will be left behind.

We will meet at the Footdee end of the Promenade (next to the toilet block). There's ample free on-street parking.

Please arrive ready to start at 6pm. The whole session,including warm-ups/cool down and exercises, lasts one hour.
