Top 8 Reasons Why People Don't Try Running:
"I'M NOT A RUNNER"
Everyone can run! It's all about picking a starting point that's comfortable for you and taking it one day at a time from there. Like Coach John Wooden said, "Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do."
"I DON'T HAVE TIME TO RUN"
The great thing about running is that it's always accessible. You can run from anywhere as long as you MAKE the time.
"RUNNING IS BORING"
When you go for a run YOU pick your environment. When you run you can change your scenery daily...running is therapy.
"I'M TOO SLOW"
All runners have a starting point. You can run at whatever pace you feel comfortable. It's not about competition, it's about capability.
"I DON'T HAVE THE ENDURANCE"
You don't need endurance to run, you run to build your endurance.
"RUNNING IS TOO HARD"
Running is like a ladder...you take it one step at a time. Becoming a better runner brings more enjoyment to running.
"I'M NOT IN RUNNING SHAPE"
Anyone can run. Running is the tool we use to get IN shape.
1 of the BEST Reasons to TRY Running:
“I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT AND BE HEALTHY”
Running is one of the BEST calorie burning exercises out there!
Running is great for the heart, which is the most important muscle in the body.
What is Running Boot Camp?
Long Beach Running Boot Camp (RBC) is for everyone - walkers are welcome! The ultimate goal of RBC is to be able to meet your personal running goal, whether it is to just start running, to run a 5k in under 20 mins, or to be able to complete a marathon. Everyone, both runners and “non-runners,” are welcome and encouraged to give it a try!
This is a fun 8-week running program geared toward all ages and abilities. It's not about being a track star or an elite athlete. It's about being the best YOU can be. There is NO COMPETITION. You will feel motivated and empowered! It’s about setting a goal and achieving it with the help of the other running boot campers. No matter your age, size or fitness level, you can achieve great results without injuring yourself during the process.

What to Expect:
There are 5 different running locations that we use to mix it up and keep it fun! Mondays are a run where we focus on proper warm up techniques, foam rolling, stretching, proper form, and time. This is where you can start to work toward achieving your personal best! Tuesdays and Thursdays are cross-training days where we focus on specific cross training exercises to help your overall running shape and form. Wednesdays are where we work on interval training/speed work and discuss specific endurance related nutrition. Fridays are our long runs. This is where we focus on endurance. Every day is a different day to keep you on your running toes!
You don't have to be a great runner to begin. You may be surprised at how well you do.
Give it a try; what do you have to lose?
Why We Are Different:
1. We focus on injury prevention through foam rolling, creating structural balance, strength, integrity and mobility in your muscles and joints. Basically we train your body to avoid injury.
2. We encourage cross-training and have implemented it into our program on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s - it cannot be overlooked!
3. We cover sport-specific nutritional guidance. We all want to know what to eat before a race and during our training. Timmie will go over nutritional do’s and don’ts to help you with your running performance.
Reaching Personal Goals:
We all train according to our own individual goals.
We hope that by then end of this 8-week camp your goal along with your confidence will grow into something you never thought you could accomplish. By entering a 5k, half marathon or full marathon, you will feel motivated. Your reward will come in your completion - no matter your time.
ALL levels and individual goals are welcome!
