HiddenPeak Running Aberdeen Group Training - Countesswells Trails

Countesswells Woods Run Session
Dive into the lush trails of Countesswells Woods for an evening filled with challenging intervals and scenic routes. This Hidden Peak venue offers both traditional woodland paths and recently upgraded pathways, providing runners with a unique blend of terrain.
The session kicks off at 6pm on Tuesday, May 28th, 2026, with a progressive warm-up through the forest trails. The warm-up includes light jogging to get your heart rate up, followed by dynamic stretches and mobility exercises designed to prepare you for the intervals ahead.
Main Set 1 focuses on interval training along undulating woodland routes. Participants will complete ten one-minute efforts interspersed with two-minute recovery periods where they jog or walk back to regroup as a group before starting each new effort.
For Main Set 2, runners tackle short hill sprints, consisting of six fifteen-second bursts aimed at honing technique and building explosive power. These intense intervals are followed by jogging recoveries on the way back down.
The session concludes with a cool-down jog that gradually transitions into stretching exercises to help your muscles relax after the rigorous training.
