"I registered for a half marathon being held on February 3rd, 2008 and instead of my normal training schedule of "logging miles" I concentrated on the CATZ training sessions. Between Dec.'07 and Feb. '08 I did only 3 runs of 10-12 miles. However, since joining CATZ, I have religiously attended from 2 to as many as 5 sessions per week. During this time I have seen my "core" strength increase, my sprinting and recovery time improve. Well, I ran the Surf City USA half Marathon in cold blowing rain on Sunday morning February 3rd. To my surprise and excitement, I felt GREAT the entire race and turned in a Personal Best of 1:43:21 which crushed my previous best time by approximately 15 minutes! My next full marathon is in April and I can't wait to see how I do then! "

Adults - Injury Prevention

Every CATZ training program works to reduce the risk of injury. In fact, CATZ is currently working with several leading medical schools in a National Institute of Health research project to study methods to reduce ACL injuries.

CATZ training programs will help each adult:

  • Decrease your risk of ACL injury - http://www.usc.edu/ACLprojectprevent
  • Lower your risk of shoulder injury with shoulder-specific dynamic strength exercises with specific attention to rotator cuff and other stabilizers of the shoulder joint
  • Increase your ankle strength and stability with reaction drills, lower body plyometric and balance exercises
  • Attention to dynamic flexibility/mobility which improves overall fluidity of movement and may decrease the likelihood of injury
