Pose Running Standard Clinic

Run faster, more efficient and injury-free by using the Pose Method® of running. Our standard clinic offers an in-depth introduction to this revolutionary style of running created by Dr. Nicholas Romanov. Through personal instruction and basic drills, you will learn the classic skill of Pose, Fall and Pull, which will enable you to run faster and more efficient at a lower heart rate, all while avoiding injury. In addition, videotape analysis and our 65-foot mirrored straightaway will help you adapt to this technique quicker and more easily. This clinic also provides professional coaching on other important elements of competitive running, such as proper training and nutrition, appropriate shoe selection and racing strategies.

Pose Running Mini Clinic

Our mini clinic provides the same level of instruction as our standard clinic, but is divided into three separate weekend sessions in order to accommodate those individuals who prefer a smaller group training experience. Athletes who wish to participate in the mini clinic should ideally attend all 3 sessions to receive the full complement of instruction on Pose running.
