I am only too happy to share my experiences at Lisa and Marshall's camps. I have had the pleasure of attending camps in the Tetons as well as camp at California's Death Valley park. I also train with Lisa as my coach throughout the year.
For me, camp is a way to see and experience the technique I am trying to emulate throughout the year. At camp, Lisa pushes my back just a tiny bit and suddenly I am POWER walking instead of just plain walking. Marshall shows me how to negotiate a hill and dig deep when it seems like the tank is empty, and suddenly I am moving on high octane.
But all this is sounding entirely too academic... For me, training camps are a way to spend time with coaches I love and people who become friends for what I hope will be a lifetime. And of course, for those of you who know me, my harem is always open for new applicants!
Now, if only Lisa could help me with this poison oak I picked up on the trail over the weekend training for Western States! |
