Testers Needed

I need 20 runners to test my program of audio Feldenkrais® lessons and give me feedback.
Testers need to meet the following criteria:
Testers need to meet the following criteria:
- have been running for at least a year
- regularly run at least two miles
- regularly run three or more times per week
- are currently having some pain or difficulty in running but are still able to run regularly
- are not a current or past client of The Balanced Runner™
- are not a Feldenkrais practitioner or trainee
This program is NOT SUITABLE for runners with sciatica or lumbar disc problems.
- downloading three 30-minute mp3s of audio Feldenkrais lessons to play off your computer or load onto your iPod or mp3 player.
- carefully reading and following instructions for the program (emailed to you as a pdf)
- doing all three lessons each week, each on a separate day. In week 1 you'll do the first lesson at a different time from running -- at night before bed works well but you might find another time that's good for you -- and you'll do the other two lessons right before your runs. In weeks 2 and 3 you'll do all three lessons at the beginning of your runs. In week 4 you'll simply follow your usual running schedule but no do any audio lessons.
- keeping your mileage and types of runs fairly consistent throughout the four-week period
- completing 5 questionnaires: one before starting and one at the end of each week.
- total expected time involvement: 2 hours per week for weeks 1-3 (not including your actual runs, which presumably you would be doing anyway), and 15 minutes in week 4.
- emailing your completed questionnaires to me at the end of the 4-week period.
The lessons consist of guidance through a series of completely non-strenuous movements that allow you to explore coordination patterns important to your running. The lessons do not involve actually running. They may be done indoors.
When I receive your completed questionnaires I'll email you out a special gift of a bonus audio lesson to thank you.
The signup deadline has been extended to June 22, 2013. Email jae@balancedrunner.com to sign up or ask questions.
