Welcome to Art Of Running– Your source for improving your running, whether you are a recreational runner, a developing young athlete or a world class performer in the professional ranks. Running is everywhere. It is the critical means of movement in almost every sport. It is also one of the simplest means of improving or maintaining general fitness. Running is an activity enjoyed by millions of people all over the world. In gym class, we all had to run back and forth in the gymnasium or around the school. Running is performed in events to raise money for charities. In the Olympics, the 100 meter sprint is seen as the marquee event and the winner is given the title of world’s fastest human. Yet, even though running is omnipresent in our everyday active lives, few individuals learn how to run properly. Its a complex activity that requires good control and muscular relaxation to be performed effectively. Art Of Running was created to provide individuals with a resource for improving their running. We are analogous to an auto shop that fixes and tunes up automobiles – both economy cars and high performance race cars – so that they run faster, longer and, overall, more efficiently. We strive to provide clients with proper instruction on their running technique and developing their running abilities. Our teaching progression and advanced training programs get people running faster, farther and more efficiently, with marked results after only one instructional meeting and session. No one does a better job at ‘fixing’ your running than Art Of Running.
ART OF RUNNING PHILOSOPHY:
1. Train smart. Too many times people feel the need to train as hard as they can day in and day out, all without really knowing why. Our goal is to teach when to push and when to back off. 2. Know and understand the purpose of each run. If you can truly understand why you are running each run, easy days included, then you are more likely to become a better runner both mentally and physically. 3. Consistent, long term development. Champions are not developed overnight, Degrees are not obtained overnight and time is needed to reach your own personal best. Being consistent with training allows every runner to achieve more in the long term than short bursts of really great training, followed by setback. 4. Maintained of communication. No matter what your level of ability, keeping an open line of communication between athlete and coach is vital for the athlete's development. If the coach doesn't know what is occurring during training, then adjustments are harder to make and the athlete suffers setback. 5. Engage in race specific training, but maintain training balance. Every race trained for needs to incorporate race specific workout, however, no area of training should be completely neglected.
