BOOTCAMP FAQ
What is the format of the workouts?During each workout you will perform drills and exercises that will make you a better runner as well as teach you something.
How much running will there be?
There will be no continuous running. A few drills involve running but no more than a hundred meters.
Should I come early to warm-up?
You should arrive a few minutes early so that you are ready for the structured warm-up that we will perform as a group. Each session includes a warm-up and cool-down that is an integral part of the entire workout.
You must arrive early before the first session to allow time for registration and greeting.
Is the Runner’s Boot Camp for elite runners or recreational runners?
These drills and exercises are performed by the best runners in the world as well as beginning high school runners. They are fundamental and important to all runners. Everyone can benefit from the drills and exercises practiced during these workouts.
Relatively inexperienced runners stand to gain by developing core strength and learning correct form. Working these will get you on the 'right track' to becoming a better runner.
Experienced runners stand to gain much because after years of running, muscles become specialized to the movements needed for running. This comes at the cost of overall flexibility and ironically can lead to reduced peak running performance. The most current training methods have gotten away from 6-7 days of running, with alternating easy days and hard days. Top coaches advocate only 3 hard runs per week supplemented with cross-training and drills. If you feel like you are on the verge of injury most of the time and you feel 'fragile' then you should join the Bootcamp.
Since we are not going to be doing pure running, all participants will be exercising as a group side by side with athletes of all abilities. In fact, some slower runners may be better at some drills than faster runners.
Are all the workouts the same?
Definitely not. Each workout builds on the previous workouts so that you can learn and continue to improve. Each week we will repeat certain drills and add others.
Do I need to attend all the workouts?
Since we are all very busy, it may not be possible to attend all workouts. However, I recommend that you attend at least 7 workouts to ensure that you are able to learn all the necessary drills.
If you must miss a workout, I will email you the workout, what was learned and what you should do on your own.
Will the workout be cancelled in the event of rain? (outdoor summer workouts only)
No. Only if there is lightning or an extreme downpour.
Why is there a registration fee for these workouts when the regular Victors workouts have no fee?
The regular Victors track workouts are drop-in workouts. The Boot Camp workouts require your commitment to attend. Setting a minimal fee is one way to assure commitment. Some of the Boot Camp sessions are held in a gym that charges quite a high hourly rate plus insurance costs.
