No Boundaries 5k Training Program Spring 2010

The Fleet Feet Sports No Boundaries 5K training program is designed for beginning runners and people who are currently inactive or minimally active.

Start your 2010 Spring off right!  Join Fleet Feet Sports and New Balance to walk or run your first 5k. The program focuses on beginners, but all levels of walkers and runners are welcome. The program is structured to help you cross the finish line of your first 5K in less than three months. Along the way we’ll be providing you with motivation to keep you moving, guidance and advice, weekly group training runs or walks, and educational clinics on topics such as proper nutrition, choosing the right gear, and avoiding injury. Plus, you’ll have the camaraderie of others!

• A complete 12-week training program and calendar with detailed workouts
• Two coached training sessions per week, to be held at Fleet Feet Sports every Wednesday at 6pm and every Saturday at 8am at Starbucks - Middleton Hills.

• Weekly e-mails from the coaches with tips, advice, motivation and encouragement
• Dedicated support from the coaches to answer individual questions
• New Balance Technical shirt
