WHAT YOU’LL DO
Approach the starting line to a whole new style of running with this exclusive zozi Guru™ experience, hosted by elite endurance coach and subject of the book "Born to Run," Eric Orton. Within the lush Gerbode Valley of the Marin Headlands, this runner’s retreat is designed to re-shape and re-invent the way in which you run under Eric's direct guidance. For dedicated, competitive athletes to the casual weekend running, Eric's specialized workout will teach you the optimum running technique, while guiding you away from the habits that lead to injury and fatigue.
With the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, Eric will put his legendary expertise to use leading the runners on a series of drills and workouts; exercises designed to help him spot areas for improvement. With his personal assessments and engaging approach, you can make real-time alterations to your form and reap the benefits immediately. Spend time with Eric discussing the details of his heralded training regimen including his approach to run training, technique and strength - any question you have about improving your endurance abilities is open for discussion.
Armed with the proper running techniques, you and the group will hit the not-so-beaten path for a six-mile trail run through the panoramic hills of the Marin Headlands. As you bound across winding trails, Eric will help you to apply the personal assessments and lessons you’ve learned during the training session. This continued guidance will ensure your technique is refined and your style improved to make you a more efficient and effective runner.
After the run winds down, head back to Wellingtons Wine Bar where a healthy dinner will be served with beer, wine and waterfront views. Get to know Eric and your fellow runners over good drinks and healthy food. At the end of the evening, Eric will offer up a toast to a day unlike any other - the first day of your new running life.
