The Stables
Currently there are 8 athletes living and training in Liz McColgan's hometown of Carnoustie. The athletes are a range of ages and athletic ability. An atmosphere that is conducive to training well and working hard is created as the athletes are driven to succeed by each other and through Liz's guidance. Many of the athletes attend Dundee University, who have kindly granted several of the athletes a part-scholarship towards helping physiotherapy and travel expenses. Those who do not attend university or college have part-time jobs in order to aid their living costs. The athletes pay monthly rent in order to live in the athlete apartments but gain free use of Liz McColgan's extensive gym, swimming pool and weights room and also free coaching and nutritional advice from Liz herself. All track sessions are completed three times a week at Dundee Caird Park Stadium (a 20min drive from Carnoustie) and all other runs are done around the towns golf courses and beach. The full group at the track consists of around 30 athletes of all ages and are from club runners to elite standard. There are 2 flats currently full but another 2 newly built flats are currently unoccupied.
