Zap Fitness is a non-profit elite running group that operates in Blowing Rock, NC. They asked me to come and see how they train and live and I was blown away by the sense of community by all the runners. I had a great time and I hope the video does it justice.

The first song is by Knec and you can check out his myspace page at myspace.com/knec.
The second song is by the Eels and you can check out the music video of Mr. E's Beautiful Blues

Speakers: Zika Rea

Mark, I don't know if you ever read all the comments people dedicate to you and your absolutely terrific work but I shure hope you realize the great things you do!! I just want to say thanks for all the work you put into Flotrack! Great Video! If you can get any news from Zap Fitness next time your in NC that would be awsome! I look forward to seeing new stuff. Take Care!

Good work Mark! I don't know if you remember me (I'm the belgium girl). It was great to see the guys from ZAP fitness again and to see where they train and how they live. I think the idea of ZAP fitness is amazing. Something like that would not be possible in Europe. Hope to visit you guys one day!

ZAP is an amazing place but the best part are the fantastic people involved. Pete/Zika have done an amazing job with selecting those that they surround themselves with. The scenery runs a second to everyone involved. The Adult runnin camp was more that I would have ever thought. My only regret is that I waited so long to attend for the first time. I would love to be back next year to meet a new group of runners and maybe catch up with some old camp friends. Keep up the great work and we will continue to support any way we can.

HOW AMAZING IS IT TO BE SITTING HERE IN THE REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA ON THE RUSSIAN BORDER WATCHING PETE AND ZIKA AND THE ZAP ATHLETES? I ATTENDED THE LAST TWO SUMMER CAMPS. EVERY CAMP ADDS SOMETHING TO MY MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABILITY AND TO MY CORE KNOWLEDGE OF RUNNING. THAT WEEK KEEPS ME RUNNING THE WHOLE YEAR.

I was at the last camp and would recommend it to adults of all ages who want to learn how to get better & meet the inspiring gang. Still working on my cadence.

Keep Running!

great video. my college team spent a few days there for pre-season camp 3 years ago and it truly is a beautiful place to live and train.

God dammit I hate watching these young folks in good shape running around pain free. I have no cartilage left in my knees and getting out of a rocking chair feels like a marathon at 4:40 pace.

How good do you have to be to get involved. I am from Wilmington NC and interested in becoming a world class runner, but I have no body to train with. Email me with info to islandgazette@aol.com

Mark, great job!

probably my favorite "interest piece" video so far, and I've seen every single one. I simply found this one to be the most intriging

Mark From Flotrack 5 years ago

RHall,

Check out the vid. I edited a little.
I hope its better.

Hey mark, well done on the video. It was great having you guys down here. We've been inspired to finish that last bridge. Keep up the good work.

To anonymous; you heard right. Word on the street is the Hansons are looking to take back their Club XC National Championship Crown. Well, I'll tell you what. The day some court jester uniform wearing, spiffy new saturn bus drivin', shoe retail sales marketing, heart monitor/fanny pack sportin', double caffeine gu chuggin' road runner guys beat us is the day I quit Zap and start up an all-weather beauty salon. To tell you the truth, we'd be more worried about 'See Jane Run' putting together a guy's team. Bring it Hansons.

Mark,

Thanks for responding to me and understanding where I'm coming from. This is the best running site out there.

Jon Colletti 5 years ago

What a great program. We need more like it in the US.

Great Music!

Do a video on Team Minnesota. You can't go wrong with more Andrew Carlson coverage.

Chad Boyle 5 years ago

RHall may have a point about the lyrics, but the Eels are a great band.

You need to fix the audio on your videos. To loud. You also didn't say how long they ran.

Mark From Flotrack 5 years ago

RHall,

Yeah, maybe I should of used a different song. Sorry about that. That's my bad and I will be more careful next time.

This video was good but I think A Brooks Hanson video would be cooler. Brooks ODP woud take ZAP to school.

RHall 5 years ago

Great behind the scenes look at ZAP! Very disappointed with your choice of music though. Surely you realize that many of your loyal viewers are offended by these lyrics?
