In an effort to try to enhance the Richmond Training Team program, we are looking for people who would be willing to speak for 45 minutes to an hour one night for our training team. In particular we are looking for Sports Medicine, Orthopedic, Physical Therapist, and Nutritionist. We would welcome any topic they would like to discuss as long as it is beneficial to our audience (runners). That being said, we would like to mirror the Richmond Sports Backers as much as possible. They will have the following sessions:
- Shoes/Clothing
- Injury Prevention
- Running Form
- Nutrition
- Strength Training
- Mental Fitness and Race Prep
We hope to get Raleigh Running Outfitters to come back for another shoe and clothing clinic. We will probably work with the YMCA on this to get as many people as possible to attend, making it worth the trip the Raleigh Running Outfitters.
I hope to have Don Garber come to Rocky Mount to speak on Race Preparation and Mental Fitness. You should also know that we will be given the handouts for all of the Richmond clinics. Our clinics do not have to be the same as the Richmond group, but it is certainly a good guide. Let us know any names as soon as possible, or even better ask them if they would be interested. Thanks!
I don't know any Physical Therapists.... but I can talk to Dr. Nelson and Dr. Dalsimer (ortho docs) to see if they are interested.
ReplyDeleteI can also speak to Dalsimer, he has been my doc since the fall marathon. Im sure he would love to speak!
ReplyDeleteDr. Nelson told me he would be willing to during our last training season when I had seen him. Of course this was right before he stuck me with a giant needle and said it wouldn't hurt!!!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to do a P.T. (physical therapy) talk similar to last year if interest. Many of the group are the same and I can look into any other topics (in addition to proper stretching), upon request.
