ANOTHER PB FOR SCOTT

ANOTHER PB FOR SCOTT
Lothian Running Club’s Scott Fraser recorded a 3000 metres PB this afternoon running in the Swedish Championships in Norrkoping. Scott finished in 4th place in 8m 10.15s, which bettered his previous best set a fortnight ago by 5 seconds.
Scott is going to try and qualify for the Commonwealth Games.

As part of his preparation programme Scott has spent a month in Kenya, living and running with local athletes at altitude in the Rift Valley area. This included a 21k tempo run with Mo Farah.

Scott, who was Scotland’s top ranked 10k runner in 2012 planned to run for Lothian RC in the National Cross-country Championships on February 23rd, but the Swedish Federation will not allow this.

However he has booked his flights and will come to his club’s training at Inveralmond on Wednesday February 20th. He has kindly agreed to an informal talk followed by a group run starting with a short slow lap followed by a slightly longer loop planned by coach Edel Mooney.

Hopefully there will be a good turn-out of members.

The following is the draft schedule.

6.40pm Meet at Inveralmond.

6.45 -7.15 Scott talks or perhaps shows digital photos.

7.15 – 7.30 Questions.

7.30 -7.45 Slow 3k group run and back to Inveralmond.

7.45 – 8.10 Medium 4k group run.
