What is the Running Camp?

The goal of Building Better Bodies Runners Camp is to create a Group Running environment where almost anyone can improve their level of fitness and their running or walking ability, and learn to incorporate running into their very own Fitness Lifestyle. Our Running Camp will be coached by Paul Anderson (a.k.a. Andy Noise) along with myself and competitive runners and walkers from the Bakersfield Distance Project.

Paul was a triathlete (He won the first Bakersfield triathlon) and a sub three hour marathoner, who also ran in high school and college. In recent years, he has coached at the high school level and started his own USATF running club (The Bakersfield Distance Project) and took up marathon walking. Lastly, he has been covering the local running scene via his website AndyNoise.Com since 2006.

There are several programs available in the Camp, designed to accommodate virtually any fitness level and endurance endeavor. The program is based on the Run/Walk method, and each session is 8 weeks long, 3 days per week, for a total of 24 sessions. The camp will be held at Yokuts Park unless designated otherwise. The days are Tues and Thurs at 6 AM and 6 PM at Yokuts Park and Saturdays at 7 AM at the Panorama Bluffs or at local races.

For those who do not have a specific race goal, the program will prepare you for races from the 5k to the half marathon. As part of the camp, we will be competing in and supporting our local running races. For those interested in running a marathon or have a goal race in mind, the coaches will design a program for you. For races up to a half marathon, at least 8 weeks of training is needed. For the marathon, a minimum of 16 weeks is needed to have a positive marathoning experience.
