The NPR Mount Engadine Experiential Workshop held on June 9-11, 2006 was a great success.
At the workshop we ran, walked, and concentrated to comprehend, practice and master the elements of Natural Posture Running. Everyone was immersed in the training of the interesting and challenging concepts of Natural Posture Running. It was a hands on weekend! Even a whole weekend did not leave much free time to enjoy more trail runs.
We all enjoyed the clear cool air, the beautiful scenery. Also we discovered a great variety of wildlife on the way to Mount Engadine Lodge when we spotted numerous animals ranging from a wolf to the tiny chipmunk. And there were the three moose appearing below in the bog every evening, just so we could take pictures of them.
Thank you Cal Zaryski, Roger Davies and Helly Visser

Testimonial from Connie Johnson (a participant in the workshop) wrote us the following: “It has been almost a month since I attended the Mount Engadine NPR Running camp and I am delighted! NPR works. I have certainly not perfected the technique, yet, and I am constantly reminding myself about the various improvements that I should be doing as I am running. So far these are the things I have noticed since the camp:

1. I am running faster with less effort than before (lower heart rates)….times have improved by at least 20 sec/km and heart rates are 5-10 beats/minute lower.
2. My legs on the long runs are not as fatigued and I seem to be able to recovery quicker.
3. Even when I am running alone, I have plenty of things to work on with my technique, so my runs are fun once again and they have a sense of purpose.
4. Instead of looking forward to every run, I really really look forward to every run! (I feel like a kid again!)

I just wanted to thank you, Helly, Rodger and Cal once again”.
