Shut In Training Program Announces Speakers
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006Mark Lundblad, nationally recognized ultra runner and former Shut In race winner, is coaching a full group of committed runners, training for this beastly 17.8-mile trail race. The event, to be held Nov. 4, will be sponsored by Black Dome.
This time-honored trail race is the “one” that everyone knows about in Western N.C. and one that is notoriously difficult to get into. Lundblad’s group will train every Wednesday at 6 p.m. at different locations (floating castle schedule) and special speakers will appear on the dates listed below. If you are interested in the program, hearing a particular speaker or following up on a specific topic that they will cover contact Jonathan Poston: (828) 768-6262, mindlynxx@hotmail.com or http://www.ncracetraining.com.
Speakers
Aug. 23 - Gary Curran, M.D., speaks on OTD meds (anit-inflammatories, etc.) and supplements (glucosamine, etc.) and how they help or hurt performance.
Sept. 27 - Barbara Galloway speaks on beginning Shut In race strategies.

This was my very first 10k a couple of years ago. And they’re right, you will get wet!! Judging by the heat this summer, you’ll be glad.
Pick up some hill training before you head out. This race is a lot of fun!!
