Clinic #1
Race Planning and Strategies Clinic
Saturday, September 1^st at 9am
Rodeo Beach (Sausalito, CA)


You've (hopefully) put in the training for your race, now what? How long should you taper before the event? How should you taper? What's a good pre-race dinner? Breakfast? Should you have drop bags? How many? What should be in them? Should you start out fast or easy. How much should you eat during your event? How often? So many questions and you need the answers! Join us for an open forum running clinic where we present the fundamental information on race planning leading up to your event and race strategies during the race.


Topics covered:

• Tapering
  
• What to eat the night before and morning of the event
  
• Drop bags
  
• Planning for weather (at the start and during the race)
  
• Pacing – The benefits of a slow start

Clinic #2
Hill Running Clinic
Climbing and Descending
Sunday, September 2nd at 9am
Tennessee Valley (Sausalito, CA)


Seems like everyone hates hills. Some think the uphills are too hard and everyone passes them in races. Others are timid on the descents and don't take advantage of our friend, gravity. Putting in the practice and training obviously helps, but knowing certain techniques and practicing them will chop huge chunks of time off your finish results and leave your competitors wondering how you got so fast on hills, especially over technical terrain.

Topics covered:

• Hill running technique on technical climbs and descents.
  
• Climbing efficiently (when to walk vs run, arm position, etc), transitioning from walk to run
while maintaining pace
  
• Descending (low center of gravity, arm position, foot placement, etc)

  
• How to run various hill workouts for best conditioning results.

  
• Includes 3 x 3 min hill workout with warm up and cool down.
