A. You are welcome to join us. This running
program is geared towards women of all
fitness abilities and speeds. We will
coach you and teach you to become a faster
and more effiecient runner.
Q. I enjoy running, but I'm not
very good. I'm a little nervous about
always being the last runner. Will I be
holding the group back?
A. No, you won't hold anyone back. The
way the program is designed, you won't
ever feel like you are the last runner.
Everyone is very encouraging. More than
anything, you will feel empowered and
become a great runner before long.
Q. What does EZ8 stand for?
A. EZ8 (Easy Eight) gained its name because
our goal is for you to run an eight-minute
mile with ease. It is also an 8-week program.
(However, that part isn't always so easy.)
Q. What happens in a clinic?
A. Clinics area great! It gives you a very solid base to start running successfully! It is also a great introduction to EZ8, if you are unsure of making an 8-week commitment. During this normally 2-hour session, you learn proper running technique, you are also video taped so you can see what you "think" you are doing. It has been extremely beneficial to all those attending!
Q. What happens if half way through
the running session I become injured,
will I get a refund?
A. First of all, we will take every precaution
that you will not become injured. However,
in the unlikely event you do become injured
you will receive a credit for the missed
days toward a future running camp.
Q. I have been told that I run
like a duck, can you fix that?
A. Everyone has their own unique running
style. The way you run is often due to
your biomechanics. Sometimes it is because
you just haven't learned proper body alignment
and technique. We will assess your running
style and help you incorporate modifications
as needed.
Q. I can't breathe when I run,
so I can't run very far. What is the furthest
you run?
A. Often times people run too fast, so
they go anaerobic imediatley.
(They feel out of breath.) Another reason
you may have challenges while breathing is you
are breathing from your chest. Breathing
this way creates "shallow breathing."
We will teach you techniques so you can
breathe more easily while you run. Every
week our distance will vary. You will
build on your distance. The furthest you
will run will be 5-6 miles. That is the FURTHEST...and you may only go 4...that is Okay in EZ8!
