Indian Lake Running Camp (Michigan)

This is the perfect camp for young runners who want to build a foundation for a successful future in running.  Scheduled for July 18-23, 2010, the camp features general-strength development, running-specific strength, hill training, explosive work, and coordination training.  A key focus of the camp is form analysis and optimization: Each attendee is filmed while running and then meets with Owen one-on-one to develop superior running form - the gait patterns which maximize speed and minimize the risk of injury.  The camp is fun, too, with an array of activities for young runners.  The location is superb - right in the heart of historic Oscoda County in northern Michigan, between four pristine lakes at Camp Michi-Lu-Ca.
