Alex Macewen

Alex started with EAC over 40 years ago and got into coaching and teaching in the mid 1990’s club athletes and primary/secondary age groups. He also got great opportunities to tutor and assess within Scottish Athletics , the Duke Of Edinburgh programme, Sport Scotland and alongside Community Sports leaders. Over this time he learned from some great club people and teachers out there.

On the event side he led or was part of bigger teams who managed a range of events from in house handicaps and ‘community fun runs’ to National Championships and great experiences at World Championships for cross country or mountain races.

Now Alex coaches distance runners from senior to over 70 whether they want to do traditional club competition, open events or longer challenges. A real mixed group mainly EAC but also with other clubs and novices who hopefully join his two key sessions at the Meadows on Tuesday and Saturday.

Since the Covid, Alex has nurtured others to help and lead some of these sessions and events.
