A real athlete behind it
Ben Sutherland competes in the HYROX Elite 15 and coaches athletes from their first session to professional level. Your questions get answered in the app.
Where to run, near you
Free, measured, timed, every Saturday morning. The simplest way to see whether the programme is working is to run the same 5 km every few weeks and watch the number move.

Roughly 112 km from Dunbar in a straight line. Far enough that an early wave usually means travelling the night before. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Dunbar.
Dunbar is not spoilt for choice, which matters less than it sounds. A barbell, something to pull on and somewhere to walk covers most of what changes a body, and your programme is written around what you can actually get to rather than an ideal setup.

What training in Dunbar actually involves.
Where to train in Dunbar
Training options in Dunbar are thin on the ground, which matters far less than it sounds. Most of what changes a body is squatting, pulling, pressing and walking, and every one of those has a version that works with almost nothing.
Closest to the centre you have Core and Dunbar Leisure Pool, the nearest of them about 0.1 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.
Dunbar Leisure Pool is listed as a sports centre rather than a gym. 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.
Getting your conditioning in around Dunbar
Lochend Woods parkrun, roughly 0.6 km from the centre of Dunbar, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
They spread from roughly 1 km out to 9 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.
Making it stick in Dunbar
The hard part of training in Dunbar 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.
No national chain shows up in the listings here, so these are independents. That usually means shorter contracts and a better chance the person on the desk knows what a sled is for, and it does mean checking terms one at a time.

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.
