Announcing Dave McGovern's 2nd Anchorage
RACEWALKING WEEKEND
Led by U.S. National Team Race walker Dave McGovern
July 12-14, 2002

Do you want to learn to Racewalk? Or to Racewalk Faster? Join U.S. National Racewalk Team member and thirteen-time U.S. National Champion Dave McGovern for this unique racewalking event. Participants will learn techniques used at the U.S. Olympic Training Centers to help elite athletes to racewalk faster, and more efficiently with fewer injuries. And if you don't race, these techniques can help you to lose weight, get fit and feel great!

Participants will benefit from lectures on modern race walk technique featuring video from recent Olympic and World Championship competitions, individual video-taped technique analysis, and lectures on race preparation, racing strategy, and proper training methods for racewalkers trying to make the most of their limited training time. The $125 fee for this invaluable 2 1/2-day weekend clinic includes individual video taped technique analysis, group lectures, use of Polar Heart Rate Monitors, and all handouts.

Dave McGovern has been a competitive race walker for the past eighteen years and a racewalking coach for the past thirteen. He has won thirteen U.S. Championships, and has walked 20 kilometers in 1:24:29--making him the 5th fastest walker in U.S. history. In addition to conducting his "World Class" clinics throughout the world, Dave is a USAT&F and LSA certified coach, the author of Precision Walking, The Complete Guide to Racewalking Technique and Training, The Complete Guide to Walking a Marathon and a contributing writer for Walking Magazine and Active.com.

Here's what others have to say about Dave's World Class racewalking clinics:

"Hi all - I feel like a walking commercial for this racewalking clinic (no pun intended). I have gone to his clinic twice and it is WONDERFUL - its a great way to cross train, the training info is good for running as well as walking and if nothing else, Dave is so much fun that its worth it just to get to know him. You can work REALLY hard race walking and Dave tells me I could get down to 8 minute miles walking (IF I trained) kinda cool - he does sub-7s walking! Amazing!" ~ Donna Rice, Anchorage AK (now Phoenix AZ)

"I've been to several other camps and mini-camps around the country, but Dave's was by far the most valuable. I highly recommend it" -- Richard Oliver, Walkers Club of L.A.

"Dave McGovern's racewalking clinic in Anchorage was terrific! I learned more in that weekend about going faster than I had in the previous six years combined." -- Robin Helm, Seattle, WA
