Roughly 204 km from Alness in a straight line, so treat it as a weekend away rather than a day out, and book the room when you book the race. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Alness.
Enough choice in Alness to pick on convenience rather than compromise. The gym you pass on the way home gets used; the better one across town gets paid for. Worth being honest with yourself about which is which before you sign anything.

[ Training in Alness ]
What training in Alness actually involves.
Where to train in Alness
Alness has 5 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.
Closest to the centre you have DM Elite, Averon Leisure Centre and Stoltman Strength Centre, the nearest of them about 0 km out. Ring before you join and ask what the free-weight area looks like at the hour you would actually be there. A rack you have to queue twenty minutes for at six o'clock is the single most common reason a programme stops getting done.
Averon Leisure Centre and Evanton Sports Centre are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, and often where the off-peak hours are quietest, which matters more to a training habit than the equipment list does.
High Life Highland has a site here, so an existing membership may already cover you. If you are joining from scratch, a rolling monthly contract is worth the few extra pounds while you work out which sessions you actually turn up for.
Getting your conditioning in around Alness
Alness parkrun, roughly 0.2 km from the centre of Alness, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Making it stick in Alness
The hard part of training in Alness is not the first fortnight, it is week seven, when the novelty has gone and the weather has turned. What survives that is a programme that already knows which days you train and does not need you to decide anything on the day.
With a smaller choice locally, the programme has to bend to the equipment rather than the other way round. That is a constraint, not a problem: almost every exercise has three substitutes, and the one you can actually do twice a week beats the one you can do occasionally.
They are spread out, from roughly 0 km to 6.6 km from the centre, so the nearest is not automatically the right one. Ten minutes further for a floor you can actually train on is usually the better trade.
High Life Highland operates here, which matters if you move or travel for work — the same membership tends to open the door elsewhere, and continuity beats equipment for anyone training year-round.

Plenty of people train one town over, whether that is a better gym, a flatter route, or simply the one on the way home from work.
