No Boundaries 5K Training Spring 2015

New Balance No Boundaries 5K Spring 2015

Fleet Feet Sports and New Balance have partnered to create a nationally recognized, award winning 5K training program. The goal is to help you cross the finish line of a 5K race in 12 weeks, complete with a detailed training schedule, two coached workouts per week, programs for all levels of walkers and runners, educational seminars, and a great team of motivators. Running and walking for exercise is one of the best lifestyle choices you can make - let us help you get moving!

Whether you’re looking for a routine that fits into your daily life, or you just need a little more accountability to keep you motivated- this is the program or you. With different training plans for walking, interval running, and running there is a pace group for you. In addition, each group workout will include strengthening circuits and stretching to help build a stronger YOU! Choose a pace group when you register and we can always adjust it during the program.

Try it before you buy it! Test-Drive Saturday! We’re so confident you’ll love the program (and find success while you’re at it!) that we will be hosting an event that gives you the opportunity to actually try a No Boundaries workout before the program begins! This morning is for anyone interested AND anyone who is already registered for the program. Join us on Saturday, February 21 @ 8am at Fleet Feet Sports Madison or Fleet Feet Sports Sun Prairie

Informational Meetings: This is the perfect way to get more information, ask questions, and meet the coaches and mentors. If you've completed No Boundaries before, invite your friends and let them in on the secret to a great spring!
