Frequently asked Questions

Q. What if I’m not a very fast runner?

A. You are welcome to join us.  This running program is geared towards men and women of all fitness abilities and speeds.  We will coach and teach you to become a faster and more efficient 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 type of program do you use?

A. We use the EZ8 program, which is a combine of Pose and Chi running style and techniques.

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 and it’s also an 8–week program.

Q. I have been told 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 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 immediately.  (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 distance. The furthest you will run will be 5-6 miles.
