With a competitive athletics pedigree as a middle distance athlete, Alison is now involved in coaching as a member of Edinburgh AC, and has been involved directly with Women in Coaching activities and leadership within athletics, which will be one of the key seminars during the conference over the weekend.

sportscotland Strength and Conditioning Coach Sean Tough will be supported by scottishathletics Ian Mirfin and Triple European Champion Sammi Kinghorn at the annual coaching conference when they deliver a workshop on strength and conditioning for the para-athlete.
