Recommended running
Best for an easy recovery run as the riverside path isn’t one for holding a rhythm. You could push it on the promenade on the parkrun and Scottish 5k champs route.
local coffee fix
There are no end of good coffee shops however, I have not been to any particularly near-by. Fortitude in Stockbridge is the closest I could recommend.

Route details
There is parking just off the Queensferry road by the restaurant and at the entrance to the estate. Head to the south side of the river Almond and follow the pleasant riverside trail all the way down to the promenade. There is a section of steps but apart from this the trail is a nice run. Once at the promenade it is a flat out-and-back as far as you wish to go, before returning back up the river Almond.
If you are there on a Saturday morning, there is a parkrun down along the promenade. This is also the course for the Scottish 5k champs, held every May, and is a great place to hit a good road session (wind dependent).
