Certified Running Coach Colleen Prudhomme and Cross Country and Track Coach Jeff Dickman have created a running camp for middle and high school cross country and track athletes. This run camp will include a lot of fun as well as some tough workouts, but also some really great knowledge to help the cross country or track athlete become better prepared for the next season of competition. Runners who participate in the Optimal Performance Running Academy will benefit from experiencing excellent presentations by professionals who know how to improve your running performance, quality strength workouts meant for runners, lots of fun (you gotta have fun!), as well as high quality run workouts. The objectives of OP Running Academy are that each runner will: • Understand the correlation between nutrition and performance. • Understand the correlations between strength training in performance and injury prevention. • Be able to identify various recovery methods, injury interventions, and how to recognize the difference between typical soreness and injury. • Be able to identify training zones, types of workouts, and purpose of workouts. • Be able to understand and implement various race strategies and tactics. • Learn how to develop mental strength for training and racing
