"I registered for a half marathon being held on February 3rd, 2008 and instead of my normal training schedule of "logging miles" I concentrated on the CATZ training sessions. Between Dec.'07 and Feb. '08 I did only 3 runs of 10-12 miles. However, since joining CATZ, I have religiously attended from 2 to as many as 5 sessions per week. During this time I have seen my "core" strength increase, my sprinting and recovery time improve. Well, I ran the Surf City USA half Marathon in cold blowing rain on Sunday morning February 3rd. To my surprise and excitement, I felt GREAT the entire race and turned in a Personal Best of 1:43:21 which crushed my previous best time by approximately 15 minutes! My next full marathon is in April and I can't wait to see how I do then! "

Jeremy Booth

Age: 28     
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Team: Major League Baseball
School: Formerly of New Mexico State University
Sports: Baseball
Goals for next year: I want to be in and stay in the Major Leagues.
Athletic Achievement: As a team, my greatest memory is helping my Jr. College team make it to the Championship game. To get there with that team was special. As an individual, signing a professional contract is something I dreamed about and achieved at 20 years old. Also, I was a High School All-American (twice) and College All-American (twice).
How you got started with CATZ: Last season, I wasn't feeling good...knee and elbow problems kept me from playing a full season. I was hurt and decided to train to be as strong and healthy as I could. I found CATZ on the internet and joined the program.

HOW HAS YOUR TRAINING EVOLVED WITH CATZ:
I can see how my training translates onto the field, now. My bat speed is faster. My foot speed is better. And, as a catcher, my pop time is shorter. From glove to glove, my pop time before CATZ was 1.95. Now, it's averaging 1.75
