New Balance No Boundaries 5K Training

Registration Closed

You know running or walking regularly will give you more energy, but do you find that it can be difficult to maintain your momentum?  You may have tried to start running or walking, and maybe kept it up for a couple of weeks, but then other obligations just got in the way?  Or maybe you’ve been injured, and you need to ease back into being active in a gradual way?  Yet, there's a little voice inside you that wonders what it would be like to run or walk a 5k this spring...you know you want to be outside, you want to feel good, you want to breathe easier... but you're not sure where to start?  

Fleet Feet Sports Madison provides exactly the kind of structure and support for long-term life changes and growth through our beginners' 5k training class, No Boundaries. The training class sets reasonable goals within an encouraging environment, using a specific training program, skilled coaches, seminars, earned rewards, and group practices to keep the spark of motivation burning. No Boundaries is a class where you can challenge yourself physically and mentally with the support of peers doing the same thing, mentors who have already been through the process, and coaches who are trained and skilled to answer your questions. There are three levels of intensity: walk, walk/run, and run, so you will be able to find your own pace.  There is a place here for you, no matter what your pace may be!
