Experience the Great Winter Run 2010 - Holyrood Park Edinburgh
The start of a New Year is a time many resolve to improve their health and fitness, and running is one of the most popular and effective ways to achieve this. However, in the cold, dark depths of January, many of us are least inclined to get out running. That's why it's great to get started with an exhilarating, exciting and fun running event. The Great Winter Run 2010 comes once again to Edinburgh on Saturday 9th of January. The 5Km run in the city's beautiful Holyrood Park attracts everyone from beginners to the cream of the global running scene.
Runners participate for charity, for fun or to set the pace for a newer, fitter year - making it a thrilling and optimistic event to mark the beginning of a new year. The BUPA event has been applauded by health experts as a fitting way to celebrate running and promote the health benefits to people of all ages and ability. Runners love the adrenaline rush of the exercise, which makes it a fantastic exercise for improving both physical and mental health, and the natural way to beat January blues. An event creates a target which motivates people to start the year running, and get into good habits for fitness throughout the winter months.
In winter, the temptation is to cosy up in a warm house on a sofa. In fact, we need the adrenaline boost of fresh air and exercise more than ever! Also taking place is the Bupa Junior Great Winter Run, a 2.5km run for children aged 7-13. In addition, the Bupa Great Edinburgh International Cross Country Run attracts the worlds best middle distance runners. Bagpipes add to sense of occasion, marking the run as a key event on the Scottish Capital's calendar.
The event has become widely regarded on the global running calendar, attracting world class runners, as well as amateur enthusiasts from around the country. Fortunately, there is a wealth of Edinburgh accommodation to choose from including apartments. Groups of runners benefit from staying in serviced apartments in Edinburgh which are of a high quality.

What should I wear in winter running? (Answers: 4) (Comments: 0)
I'm 15 years old, I ran 4 times a week but I had to stop running because of knee problems. So I got physiotherapy and now I can start running easily. When I'm totally recovered, I want to run 5 times a week, both intervals and long distance running.
What should I wear when it's 10 degrees Celsius, 5 degrees, 0 degrees or even -5 degrees?
And, should I wear tights or normal pants? I never tried tights, what would you do?
Thanks!
