Running 101 Seminar Coming To Concord

March 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Spring is in the air, and for many that means lacing up the sneakers and hitting the road. Unfortunately for many it also means shin splints, sore knees, and achy hips. But does it have to be that way?

Coach Dean Carlson of Get Fit NH Bootcamp doesn’t think so. “Running doesn’t have to hurt, but you need to prepare your body and know what you are doing” Carlson says. “While it’s easy to put on a pair of shoes and head out the door, we see way too many injuries that just don’t have to happen.”

To help runners get ready and stay healthy, on April 21, 2012 Get Fit NH will be holding a running clinic from 8:00am to 12:00pm with Dr. Brett Coapland, owner of Performance Health Spine and Sports Therapy.

“Dr. Coapland specializes in sports injury and has a special interest in evaluating running mechanics as well as treating running injuries” Coach Carlson continues “He is uniquely qualified as both a clinician and an accomplished endurance athlete.”

Running 101, from Beginner to Advanced starts with a lecture covering running mechanics, training principles, recovery, and injury prevention. Following the lecture will be a hands on portion that will include putting proper running mechanics into practice, corrective exercise, and an optional group run. The cost of the seminar is $40 and participants can register online at http://GetFitNHbootcamp.com.
