Run with Pyllon
A SERIES OF ONE DAY EVENTS
‘Run with Pyllon’ is an on-going series of short events from the same team who brought you the legendary Pyllon XP weekend training camps.
These special one-day events will be more than just a run with some great people. Each event will be focused on a particular topic or route. Everything we do has a purpose and our ‘Run with Pyllon’ events will be no different. From our experience coaching hundreds of athletes we know how to help people to get the most out of their training, and maximum enjoyment from their running, whether new to the sport or an experienced athlete.
These events are a fast-track way of learning more about ultra and trail running, honing your preparation and finding the inspiration you need to take on bigger and bolder challenges. Connecting with like-minded people, doing the thing that you love helps you to build relationships that will last beyond any racing season.

Run with Pyllon - Mountain Day - Saturday 22nd October 2022 - Tyndrum
Our next ‘Run with Pyllon’ event will be a day in the Scottish mountains. In this event we will help you to:
Prepare for a day in the hills or mountain races
Learn about the basics of navigation
Plan and execute a running route
Prepare yourself with the mandatory kit for mountain/hill running
Develop a mindset for the mountains
Enjoy a day in the hills conquering some munros with confidence
You will have the chance to run for approximately 5-6 hours in the hills around Tyndrum. This event will obviously be weather dependent, we will have a backup, low level, bad weather route but hopefully we won’t have to use it.
This event is particularly useful for people who would like to gain confidence and improve their knowledge of running in the hills, especially during the winter months. It will also be useful for those looking to extend their racing adventures towards multi-day events such as Cape Wrath.
In addition to the learning experiences during the event we will also be hosting a pre-event zoom tutorial on Wednesday 19th October at 7pm. In this tutorial we will prepare you with some of the basics to ensure that you gain maximum benefit from the day. A member of the Scottish Mountain Rescue team will be co-hosting this tutorial with our Pyllon coaches to provide you with the knowledge needed to safely navigate your way through days in the hills.
The event will be based at the Artisan Cafe just outside Tyndrum, where we will do our initial welcome and coffee. We will return there after our run for late lunch, a change of clothes and debrief conversation.
In-between our conversations we will also be doing plenty of running - so you won’t have to sacrifice your weekend training.
Here are some testimonials from the participants of past events:
“Totally awesome and inspiring people, they made it feel that if you believe in yourself and with the right guidance you can achieve great things”
“This event completely changed my mindset and was a huge contributing factor to getting me through my 24 hour race”
“Since this Pyllon event I have ran my first ever 24 hour race at Glenmore24. I surprised myself by achieving 101 miles which was well beyond my expectations. I genuinely believe I would not have achieved this without attending Run With Pyllon - the information and guidance I obtained from the event and coaches totally changed my mindset and race strategy. It has genuinely helped to improve my overall running. Thank you!!!”
“Run with Pyllon helped me to manage my mindset, fuelling and pacing during my 24 hour race, I finished 5th in my race which I never thought would be possible”
Learn from the Best
Each of our ‘Run with Pyllon’ events will be hosted by at least 2 of our Pyllon coaches. You will get the chance to run with them during the event and benefit from the knowledge they will share during the learning tutorials.
We can also offer some extra one-on-one time slots with any of the coaches to review your training plan or answer more detailed training questions - on request.
