Join Fleet Feet Sports Madison and New Balance to run/walk or run a 10k distance event. The class focuses on “experienced beginners,” meaning those who feel comfortable run/walking or running 2 miles at the start of the program. The class is structured to help you confidently cross the finish line of a 10k in about three months. 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 two levels of intensity: 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!
Both groups, No Boundaries 5k & No Boundaries II 10k, will be meeting together at the same locations, but will have separate coaches, mentors, & training plans.
PROGRAM DETAILS:
Goal Race: Zoo Run Run on Sunday Sept 28, 2014. *Race entry into the Zoo Run Run is not included in the training program registration.

Program Kick-Off: Saturday, June 14th at 8:00am. This first meeting will take place at Fleet Feet Sports Madison and will be informational. We will run through safety concerns and requirements, program details and discuss how we can help meet your training needs this season. It is also an excellent opportunity to meet your fellow training buddies, mentors and coaches. This will be a NOBO Nation event – with all of those participating in No Boundaries Spring 2014 (east side and west side) in attendance.
Practices: Four workout opportunities available (see below.) We encourage participation in at least 2 of the coached and mentored group workouts per week. Choose the most convenient weekday location/day for you (NOBO East or NOBO West) and we’ll see everyone together on Saturday morning for NOBO Nation!
NOBO East Practice: Monday evenings at 6pm at Goodman Community Center, 149 Waubesa Street Madison
NOBO West Practice: Wednesday evenings at 6pm at Fleet Feet Sports Madison
Pub Run Make-Up Practice: Pub Runs on Thursday evenings at 6pm at various revolving west side & east side locations. Locations are listed here. Please keep in mind that these runs are independent "fun runs" and "staff-led," not mentored. Come with your watch and your own workout to follow and stay for the munchies afterwards! It's always fun to bring friends, too! Let Coach Flo that you're planning on going and introduce yourself to the staff member who is leading the run or run/walk.
NOBO Nation Practice: Both east & west side NOBO groups join together on Saturday mornings at 8am in Middleton’s scenic Pheasant Branch Conservancy.

Optional: Run for the Zoo. We are launching a brand new fundraising effort this year and we need your help! We are asking our Zoo Run Run runners and walkers to go one-step further and help us raise $10,000 to directly support the Henry Vilas Zoo. The dollars will go towards improvements, which are essential to the operation of your Zoo. Your support makes it possible for us to provide exemplary care for over 750 animals, create and improve animal exhibits, support conservation, and present education programs to over 30,000 kids of all ages. Want to raise money, but not alone? Create a team and raise money with friends for your Henry Vilas Zoo!
We’re challenging Zoo Run Run runners and walkers to create a fundraising page on imathlete.com to help us reach our fundraising goal. The top three teams and individuals who raise the most money will win amazing prices! Encourage your friends, coworkers, and family members to help you reach your goal!
