Congratulations to all the Spring 2010 No Boundaries Participants!! You did it!!
After 12 weeks of training in the rain, sun, heat, and even cold this group did awesome at their first 5k! We are SO PROUD of you! We knew you could do it and YOU DID! Congratulations!!!!!!
June 15th was the culmination of Fleet Feet's 3rd No Boundaries Program, a 12 week 5k training porgram. The group worked for 12 weeks to prepare for The Spring into Summer 5K. Almost all had never completed a 5K before. The program not only taught the group that they could complete the 5k, but also created some very strong friendships.
See what they had to say about their personal success:
"The two most rewarding things (about the program) were 1) meeting some really great people and 2) the feeling of accomplishment from reaching my goal."
"Thank you for offering a program like this. It was exactly what I needed. I am truly appreciative for the opportunity."
"This was a great program, with great people. I cannot say enough about the kind people I have met during this program. My personal goal is to be able to run a 5K without having to walk any of it. Thanks for everything. This was GREAT!"

There are no boundaries to what you can accomplish in 2010!!
In Spring 2010, Fleet Feet Sports and New Balance partnered again to help people just like you walk or run your first 5k. The program focuses on male and female beginners, but all levels of walkers and runners are welcome. This past year a woman with a love of running brought 2 friends and they were amazed at their success. Another woman completed the training with her teenage son to increase their healthy lifestyle and bring them closer.
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. These clinics will be provided by local experts; Fleet Feet Sports, Local Doctors and Whole Foods North Wales. Plus, you'll have the camaraderie of others just like you.
As part of the experience, program participants will receive the following:
* A complete 12-week training program and calendar with detailed workouts provided
* Two coached training session per week, to be held at Fleet Feet Sports every Tuesday evening and Saturday morning.
* Informational clinics on proper footwear, injury prevention, and nutrition
* Weekly e-mail from the coach with tips, advice and motivation/encouragement
* Dedicated support from the coach to answer individual questions
* Special shopping night
* New Balance Technical T-shirt and jacket upon completion
* The fee for the program is $75.
The Race will be The Skeleton Skurry 5K, Hatboro, October 30.
Our next program begins August 7 at 7:30am at Fleet Feet Sports.
