Craftsbury Running Camps eNews, March 2008

Mid-winter greetings from Craftsbury! Around here, runners are braving wintry temperatures yet. We don't really complain, as it provides us with some of the best skiing in the east, but this is the point when even the hardiest Vermonters think about summer. How about you? Have you made your summer plans yet? Better act soon to ensure your place here this summer. You can find camp registration here.

In this issue: a Tech Tip from Greg and a Coach Profile of long time coach Bill Fitzgerald.

Coach Profile: Bill Fitzgerald
Lots of you may be familiar with Bill Fitzgerald. This long time coach takes a break from his work in Chicago with CARA to talk w/us about his running, spreading the word about running and other topics.

Tech Tips: Quick Hits
Greg gives us a couple of cues to think about in our running: patience and downhill technique.

Cold weather exercise
We often get questions about cold weather and exercise. Our answer has always been to dress right and keep going through winter. Here's a study that backs that up.

Ski marathon
When the snow flies, another marathon dominates our thinking here at Craftsbury: the 25 or 50k classic ski marathon. You can find the results here and read a little more about the event. Why not have a goal for a different kind of marathon next winter? Fun cross training through the cold..

That's the news from here at the home office. On behalf of Greg, Eric, Lynn, Bill, Jess and Brett as well as the rest of the staff, happy spring and we look forward to seeing you this summer.

Thanks and best wishes,

-Sheldon Miller, Marketing Director
