Characters Welcome!

2008 FREE RUNNING SEMINARS

We had a terrific 4-seminar series this Spring.  Many thanks to all who attended and especially to our speakers, Coach Vinny Finneran, Dr. Carle Rollins and National Age-Group Champ Nancy Rollins! 

The notes from their talks are now available below. 

We want to continue the series in the Fall, so please give us your ideas and suggestions for future topics and/or speakers HERE!

Get Ready! March 6th - Vinny Finneran, our Running, Spiritual and Menu Advisor, got us off to a rousing start with information about biomechanics, running techniques and scheduling your running season.  He drew on a number of excellent resources, which can be read HERE.

Get Set! April 3rd - Dr. Carle Rollins, ERC's own Running Gourmet and Podiatrist (not necessarily in that order), spoke about how to prevent injuries through proper selection and sizing of your shoes, proper running and training techniques and much more.  His tips and resources can be read HERE.

Go! May 1st - Coach Vinny returned to talk about how to get faster and stronger during the coming running and racing season.  A summary of his comments and suggestions can be found HERE. 

Nancy Rollins! May 29th - Ms. Masters-of-All-She-Surveys, talked about her life on the run, her training and her racing stories... if you missed it, fear not, her notes are HERE.
