Blatant ad: Swim+run technical clinic in Austin, TX

Swim and run technical clinics



I am coming to Austin on Memorial Weekend – where I will be teaching two technical clinics geared towards triathletes.



Swim technique clinic



Swimming is the most technically demanding aspect of a triathlon, but it also offers the opportunity for substantial improvement for most athletes.

The technical swim clinic will be a 2-hour intensive coached swim session where I will cover the main aspects of swim technique. The in-water part of the clinic will be preceded by a talk covering the most important aspects of swim technique geared towards triathletes. An opportunity for one-on-one feedback will be provided at the end of the in-water session.



Run technique clinic



One school-of-thought argues that one's so-called natural running style is both best and unchangeable. But, I believe this represents a defeatist attitude. It ignores the reality that the nervous system has great adaptive capabilities to incorporate subtle changes in data input to create an improved movement pattern. In so many sports – golf, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, and more – the guidance of a coach who is adept in designing corrective exercises and instructional commands can bring observable changes in style that contribute to improved performance. The same can occur in running.

Over a 1-hour session, I will cover the most important things about running technique and ways to work on it during your own training. One-on-one feedback will be provided in order for the athletes to improve their running technique.





The cost of each individual clinic will be $50/person. For attending both clinics the cost is $80.



The swim clinic will be held at Town Lake YMCA of Austin, on Saturday May 27th at 2PM. The facility is located at 1100 W Cesar Chavez in downtown Austin.



The run clinic will be held at Fulmore Middle School track, on Sunday May 28th at 2PM. The school is located at 201 E Mary St (corner of Mary and S Congress).



For more information, please contact me directly:

I don't have anything planned for NJ, but I will possibly be doing one in OH on the weekend of June 3/4.

$50.00 for a 2 hour intensive swim clinic? Thats pretty cheap.

Seriously Paulo,with your background,I think you can charge more than that.

Several months ago I paid $75.00 for a 90 minute clinic in NYC,and I am neither faster or more fluid in the water.

Ohio is a bit far,but if you ever decide to come out to the NYC/New Jersey area,I would be interested.

I don't think I'll have time for the clinic but I'll definitely come by to say "hi".

Are you racing in the Cap Tex Tri?

catmandu,

Thanks for the kind words. I also think it's a pretty reasonable price and I just hope that I have a big group to work with.

Portland, OR would be a good spot for a clinic. I know at least one guy that could use help with his swim and run ;-)

If it weren't jammed between two half-IMs, I would try to get there. I could even have been your example (i.e., "see what he's doing right now, folks? Don't do anything like that.").

$50 is practically free.

Most of us are going to be racing the Capital of Texas Tri (www.captextri.com) - Oly or sprint - on Monday. It's a USAT National Age Group qualifier race. Goes right through downtown Austin.

Paulo,

Let the guys at Austin Tri Cyclists and Jack & Adam's Tri Shop know what you are up to. They can probably help draw people to the event.

Well I am 99% certain I am not racing Cap Tex. Well maybe the sprint if my recovery week brings me back to life but will need to finally stalk austin79 for a face to face.

Paulo, I'm on the board of Austin Triathletes so can get this into the newsletter (goes out this week) and weekly email if you would like. Let me know.

Thanks,

Cam

You Austinites are really lucky. When Paulo was here in November, he worked with me, T-racer and ChadJ at the pool. He does a great job explaining the corrections needed, giving you the advice/drills to make the corrections work and he makes it really simple for the aqua-challenged. For those who want numbers, before I started working with Paulo my best 1500 swim was 27:2-something. I have since swam 23:15 non-wetsuit...don't laugh, I'm a runner. I would highly recommend giving Paulo your money : )

I would sign up for a Paulo clinic in Boston in September, but I can't make it the long weekend (racing in Ottawa). Any other weekend would be good.

Paulo - I think it's great that you're charging what you think is appropriate. I agree that it's on the low end, but if you're happy with it then so be it. It's a win-win as far as I'm concerned.

tgp,

That sounds like a great plan, I just need to properly meet Karen first ;-)

Anyway, let me work on it with my local people and we'll see. If you're willing to give me a hand with that, please drop me an email.

Thanks!

I am not planning on doing a clinic in Denver or anyone else, I happened to do these clinics in Austin because I'll be in town to hang out with friends and do the race.

However, I've had so many people asking me if I would go to their town, that I am considering doing a US Tour :-)

If you think you can assemble a group of triathletes in your town, shoot me an email and we'll go from there.

Thanks for the interest!

I would recommend Paulo's clinics to anyone - he came to my swim clinic back in January, and I taught him everything he knows... although he's probably forgotten most of it by now.

He needs to do significantly more band only swimming however... he's a real sinker...
