World Class Racewalking Clinic - Denver 2009

Dave McGovern will return to Denver to host a weekend-long racewalking clinic on July 31 - August 2, 2009. If you want to learn to racewalk, this is your chance! If you already racewalk and want some pointers on your form or training tips, this clinic is for you, too. 

Dave McGovern, a world-renowned technique coach, will lead participants in individual video-taped technique analysis featuring video from recent Olympic and World Championship competitions, and conduct lectures covering technique, racing strategy, psychology, and proper training methods for racewalkers and marathon walkers trying to make the most of their limited training time. The $175 fee for this invaluable two and a half day weekend clinic includes a Friday night pasta dinner/meet and greet, and two full days of racewalking.

Much, much more information is available at Dave's web site: http://www.racewalking.org or email me  for more information.
