Education: Sign-up now for webinars on RED-S and on Hill Running

Friday 13th March 2026

scottishathletics are committed to an education programme which seeks to try and help coaches grow their learning and experience.

As well as our regular schedule of coaching qualification courses, we seek to offer online education opportunities.

We are pleased therefore to confirm plans for a webinar on the important RED-S issue.

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a syndrome of poor health and declining athletic performance caused by low energy availability; where energy intake does not match the energy cost of daily living and exercise.

The session is for all scottishathletics coach members to sign up to. The session will take place on Thursday 19 March from 8pm to 9pm.

This year’s scottishathletics Senior and U20 Championships will take place on an Uphill Only course at Ben Ledi on Saturday 11 April.

This style of mountain running is popular in Europe and ideal for those who enjoy off-road running but don’t like technical descents and rougher ground.

Now we are making plans to host an online education session on Wednesday 18 March at 7pm.

This webinar is presented by Angela Mudge and Jacob Adkin (European Mountain Running Champion 2019) and is designed to introduce runners to the discipline, provide training tips and explore how the top uphill runners train.

In the European Off-Road Running Championships there is an uphill only event for both Senior and U20 athletes.

Sign-up for the webinar on March 18 on the link below https://forms.gle/65BX56QT9da7Cdp36
