Rugged Running - THE CAMP is a personal (only 8 campers), fun, learning experience of a lifetime with Michele Yates as your coach. The new campsite is nestled in Conifer CO, in high elevations (8,500ft). Campers will gain essential knowledge in hill, speed, nutrition, mobility and strength disciplines. This camp is emphasized on the community and learning aspects more than any running. It is best suited for those who want a stronger foundation, better running mechanics, and nutrition. The warmth and crackling of the fire pit will help form new memories, sum up the days guidance and create an ambiance to take in the star covered sky. There is no cell phone reception here! I will have a satellite phone to message your family upon arrival but it is not to be used unless in case of an emergency! After all, you deserve some "you" time!
