Three Running Clinics Scheduled with a Special Host Speaker!!

Super news!  Tim Waggoner (aka Lucho) has joined in to host the Footfeathers Running Clinics with me.  To say I'm excited to have his expertise is an understatement.

Who the heck has this much fun 60 miles into a 100 mile race?  Lucho and I do!  This is last month at the Leadville 100.  Lucho will be sharing his nutrition and fueling knowledge at the Eat to Win Clinic October 20th.

You may have read Lucho's blog where he entwines his training/racing/family life into a coveted world of mountain living mixed with high tech endurance training like the warp and weft weave of a fine persian rug.  Or you may have heard his fine coaching advice on the weekly "Ask the Ultrarunner" podcast over at Endurance Planet.  Here are a few of his accomplishments:

15 time Ironman

2000 Hawaii Ironman World Championships 8:50. 16^th over-all, #1 amateur

2000 USA Triathlon ‘Triathlete of the Year’

2002 Ironman Hawaii 12^th professional

2004 US Ironman Champion

2005 Duathlon World Championship Elite competitor

2006 Phoenix Rock and Roll Marathon 11^th place 2:30:30

2007 Rock and Roll Denver Marathon 5^th place 2:30:45

2008 Austin Marathon 12^th place 2:31

2009 Dizzy Fifties 50 mile trail race. 1^st place 6:38 (course record) and first ultra

2010 Leadville Trail 100 run. 6^th/ 19:19

2011 Mt Evans Ascent 4th

2012 Mt Evans Ascent 2nd

2012 Leadman Series 1st place/ course record

Either way, this guy knows his stuff and I'm proud to have him on board.

The next three clinics scheduled are:

October 14 - Race Planning and Strategies Clinic (tapering, pre-race, aid stations, course, logistics).  With so many details involved, you need a plan going into your next race.  Overlook just one important part and, at best, you could be in for a long day on the trail or a DNF.  Learn what veterans have learned through experience.

October 20 - Eat to Win Clinic (training, pre-race, during race, nutrition, fueling, hydration) with Tim (Lucho) Waggoner facilitating.  Lucho will get you dialed in on your nutrition and fueling for your next event.

October 21 - Hill Running Clinic (climbing, descending, body position, technique, when and how to fast hike)  This has become a hugely popular clinic and is likely to fill up quickly, so register early.

All three will be held in Marin County just over the Golden Gate bridge about 15 mins north of San Francisco.  Each will include a group run following the clinic along the same beautiful trails as the North Face Endurance Challenge in the Headlands.
