Huge thanks to Inov-8 for support for Cape Wrath

Kit support from Inov-8

I need to give a huge shout-out to Inov-8 for their help supporting me with kit for the Cape Wrath Ultra which starts in just over a weeks time. I was already planning to be using a few of my favourite bits of Inov-8 kit for the race, my Rocklite trainers for the stages with a lot of hard pack track and my Stormshell waterproof jacket. This extra kit will certainly shave a good few grams from my kit and hopefully keep me running comfortably and chaffing free!

So what did I get?

AT/C WINDSHELL WINDPROOF JACKET - Super light pertex windproof, this will be brilliant to help me regulate temperature on the early morning starts and act as my first protection against light showers without needing to stop and change layers.

AT/C ULTRAPANT WATERPROOF TROUSERS 

AT/C ULTRASHELL WATERPROOF JACKET - These waterproofs are a game changer in terms of weight and pack size, incredibly coming in at under 200g for the jacket and trousers! They are still very comfortable and will keep off a good Scottish soaking! 

AT/C TWIN SHORT - These feel very comfortable and will hopefully stop and chaffing which is almost inevitable on an 8 day race like this but tht could become a huge problem if not looked after. 

ALL TERRAIN SOCK MID - Socks, much more important than you might think on a race like this, and the only thing that I will have a clean set of for each day!

 

Thanks guys!

Just because someone puts some nice pictures on instagram and seems to do a lot of skydiving, you wouldn’t jump out of a plane with them before asking a few more questions! If you are heading into the mountains, or remote trails of Scotland, you should also have a few questions to ask when choosing a running guide.

Every sport has certain skills, or knowledge that are fundamental to the enjoyment of the sport. Learning these skills can sometimes be a painful process, take skiing for example. The transition from newbie to capable independent skier often follows a fairly set path, with different classes at ski school, colour graded runs to progress through and an obvious skill level to aspire to. 

With trail running, there is no clear pathway to follow as you enter the sport and gain experience, but there certainly are essential skills that will help you progress from newbie, to becoming a capable and independent trail runner. 

Vision

At Trail Running Scotland we are working hard towards the vision of a vibrant community of runners, connected through shared values of health, wellbeing, personal performance and an appreciation of the wild places we choose to play in. We aim to do this by providing the highest quality of skills training and inspirational experiences.

Values

We believe:

  • The environment in which we run is fundamental to our enjoyment of the sport.
  • Connection with our landscape and natural history fosters a greater appreciation of our environment and therefore our impact upon it.
  • Every runner has the potential to develop given the right training and motivation.
  • Every runner can find their own personal version of high performance.
  • Every running experience should be fun. 
  • The trail running community should be welcoming, inclusive and diverse.
