Although this type of decision can be disappointing for athletes, there are a number of factors that will affect the standard of team that may be sent to particular events and all of these will be taken into account. These may include the age of an athlete, the wishes of race promoters, the demands of the event (distance, conditions and course profile) and funding. The selected teams for the events in the programme will be funded by scottishathletics Road Running and Cross Country budget. For this programme to be successful and to ensure progress towards our aim of fielding Scottish athletes in GB Teams, our top endurance athletes and their coaches are encouraged to participate in this programme and plan their season accordingly. Please keep Mark Pollard ([email protected]) and / or members of the selection committee fully informed of athletes’ racing programmes, results, training progress, injuries, illness and availability for selection for those races on the programme.
