Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What if I'm not a very fast
runner?
A. You are welcome to join us. This
co-ed running
program is geared toward adult runners
who have progressed past the beginners stage and are seeking
a variety of workouts and professional coaching advice to
improve and continue their running progress.
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. There is
no competition among campers. More than
anything, you will become an efficient
runner, increase your speed, distance, climbing ability and
gain endurance and confidence.
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.
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
North
Atlanta Boot Camp, and that credit
may also be applied to one of their fitness
boot camps.
Q. I
sometimes feel my running style and technique is out of
balance and awkward -- can that be improved?
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. Sometimes
my breathing becomes inconsistent and my pacing falls off
when running long distances. What's the furthest you
run?
A. Often times people run too fast, so
they go anaerobic immediately.
(They feel out of breath.) Another reason
you may be that you're breathing from
your chest. Breathing
this way creates "shallow breathing."
This creates a cramping sensation in
your diaphragm also known as "side stitches." 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 endurance and efficiency
as a runner.
Q. If I miss
one or several EZ8 running camp sessions, can I make them
up?
A. Unlike the Boot Camps, there are no
make-up sessions for the E8 Running Camp. E8 running
camp training sessions are all progressive. However,
we do have an alignment with
North Atlanta Boot Camp so
credit can be applied to one of their fitness boot camps.
Q. Do I need
to purchase running shoes prior to camp?
A. You will need running shoes that
have been properly fitted and evaluated according to your
running style, foot type, etc. If you have not already
purchased running gear prior to camp, your Coach will send
you information on why, where and how to purchase correct
running gear to maximize performance and prevent risk of
injury once you register for camp.
Q. Will
there be camp if it's raining and/or lightening or
thundering?
A. We will have camp if it's raining.
However, if it's raining hard, lightening or thundering,
camp will be cancelled. Your EZ8 Coach will contact
you if camp is cancelled during any inclement weather.
