The Program
Distances
The Lydiard
system of peak performance
is the highlight of this camp. The week will consist of daily morning work and
afternoon workout sessions. These practices will not only assist you with
understanding form and function but will give you the knowledge of what it takes
to train at the highest level. A balance between running on the trails and
specific workouts to increase your aerobic and anaerobic capacity will prepare
you to maximize your potential for the rest of your career.
Throws
The program will consist of high level
technical analysis of the throwing events as well as show you how to become an
even more explosive athlete. From video taping to see where you can improve in
throw after throw in the rings, one will leave Santa Barbara with not only
higher goals but a way to achieve them.
The Fun
Enjoy the sun & ocean by day and
bonfires by night. Group activities, afternoon treks in and around Santa
Barbara, contests and more will highlight the camp. Meet athletes from all over,
compare notes, create new friendships and have a lot of fun!

The Facilities
Nestled inbetween the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, inside a haven of eucalyptus trees and evergreen, the track & field facilities at UCSB offer the perfect atmosphere for focused and determined training sessions.
For distance runners the miles of trails on the ocean bluff top are ideal for long runs and workouts keeping your legs fresh, while breathing in the ocean air. The track is great for speed training and form work. Running in Santa Barbara alone will be an experience of a lifetime.
The throwing facilities have been called one of the best in the United States by team USA athletes. The combination of three shot put rings, including one of Olympic size and two discus/hammer throw rings allow for many to train at once for maximum benefit to the athlete. As well, state of the art training and weight rooms adjacent to the track make for a great transition from throwing to lifting thereby enhancing the training benefit.
The Institution
Year after year, UCSB has been named one
of the top public institutions in the nation. Indeed it boasts five
Nobel laureates since 1998. The distance and throws camp will allow you to get to know
the university, preparing you for college and NCAA Division I Athletics.
