Monthly Track Session – The last Wednesday of every month PRC will offer a coached track session with Shery at the helm up at Dalkeith campus track. We are asking PRC members to pay £2 contribution fee to help cover a portion of the track hire cost. The session is very inclusive and we even bring along a speaker to keep you motivated on those tempo efforts!
Summer – Starting Wednesday, 1st April 2026, we will move training to the Commonwealth Pool. There are toilets inside the leisure centre, and the group meet next to the bike lock-up.
Winter – The first session of our Winter training location will be on Wednesday, 16th September 2026, with the club meeting at our new home at Powerleague Portobello, next to Tumbles. Lockers, parking and changing facilities are available (bring your own padlock). The upstairs bar is open after training for refreshments and to socialise with clubmates.
