Q. What if I'm not a very fast runner?
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 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. We also have an alignment with OC Adventure Boot
Camp, and that credit may also be applied to one of their fitness
boot camps.
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
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.
