Fleet Feet Half-Marathon and 5k Training UPDATE

Are you thinking about participating in the Purdue Boilermaker half-marathon and 5K event or just wanting to get in better physical shape? We can help you do both and we want to!

5k Training Program

You might be thinking there is no way you could ever run or do a combination of walking and running for a distance of 3.1 miles. We hear that every day. But we have a solution, and we would like to share it with you. It’s called “No Boundaries”, and it’s a beginner’s training program of walking and jogging that anybody can do from the beginning to the end!

Just how easy does it begin? Very, very easy! Jog 1 minute at your own pace, walk 2 minutes while you recover, repeat three more times. Total time running/jogging equals 4 minutes, at your own pace, and eight minutes walking.

Last year, approximately 13,000 people did the Fleet Feet Sports “No Boundaries” program in Fleet Feet Sports stores across the country. Want an “insiders” view of what this program is all about? Click on the link below to see and hear what the participants in Fleet Feet Sports Tulsa’s “No Boundaries” program had to say.

Our next “No Boundaries” training program will begin Tues., July 31. It will be a 12-week program leading right up to the Purdue Boilermaker Half-Marathon and 5K. on Oct. 20th.

Along with a complete running schedule, and a running/walking schedule for those working their way up, the program includes a t-shirt, coached training sessions, informational clinics, special discounts on purchases from the store, and so much more. The training sessions will begin and end from the store twice per week, Tuesdays at 7PM, and Saturdays at 8AM.

For more information, come to our orientation meeting about the training program at the store on Thur., July 26th at 6:00PM at the store. We will be happy to answer any questions you might have, and give you all the details.

Price for this program is $75. You can register for the training program at our website www.fleetfeetwestlafayette.com or at the store prior to Tues., July 31.

1/2 Marathon Training Program

In conjunction with the “No Boundaries” program, we will also have a 1/2 marathon training program for more experienced runners. If you can already handle a distance of about 4 miles, you are ready for this program.

It too will begin on Tues., July 31st., leading right up to the Purdue Boilermaker Half-Marathon and 5K on Oct. 20th. Along with a complete running schedule for the program, and coached training sessions like the “No Boundaries” training program, and a t-shirt, the informational clinics and the special discounts on purchases from the store, this program will also include a core training program, foam rolling sessions and Trigger Point therapy sessions at the store, and a whole lot more!

PREVIOUS “NO BOUNDARIES” TRAINING PROGRAM UPDATE

We initiated our beginners level “No Boundaries” training program nine weeks ago and it was a great success.!

A number of our participants ran or ran/walked in their first 5K event last Sat. at the Zoo Run Run. Check out some of our photos from the Zoo Run Run on our face book page www.facebook.com/fleetfeetwestlafayette.

More are going up to Chicago this weekend to run or run/walk in the Big Ten Network 5K/10K. Altogether, we have a group of 12-15 going up for this event! What fun it has all been!
