Not necessarily. Continuous shooting mode allows refocus right after
shutter release without having to release the shutter button.

Besides technique, I strongly suspect Mike's problem is multiple
moving subjects - the acknowledged ZX autofocus weakness. He should
try to isolate a single runner - AF will do much better then. I've
been shooting single skiers this winter with ZX-5N and FA 80-320, and
all pictures were perfectly focused despite the tight framing.
