The No Boundaries Program is a Fleet Feet Sports and New Balance nationally sponsored beginner 5K (3.1 miles) training program designed for people who are currently inactive or new to running and walking. While No Boundaries focuses specifically on beginners, all levels of walkers and runners are welcome to join.
The 10K (6.2 miles) training program is geared toward those who can run at least 2 miles and would like to increase their endurance or their pace.
These programs are structured to help you cross the finish line in just 12 weeks! Along the way we’ll provide you with: motivation to keep you moving, overall guidance and support for any troubles you come across, weekly group training runs or walks, and educational clinics on topics such as proper nutrition, choosing the right gear, and avoiding injury, all to better help you in achieving your goal. Plus, you’ll have the camaraderie of others just like you.
Train For Your Next 5K or 10K
Our next No Boundaries program will begin on Wednesday, March 14th at Fleet Feet Sports Elmhurst. The 15 week program consists 3 weeks of pre-training strengthening, stretching and education, followed by 12 weeks of the running/walking program. You will get a full training schedule designed by our coaches and a weekly Wednesday night group workout at 6:30 pm.
The program also includes educational clinics on stretching, strengthening, injury prevention, gear, nutrition\hydration, and plenty more.
The No Boundaries 5K programs from Fleet Feet Sports Chicago and Fleet Feet Sports Elmhurst will come together for the goal event of the Chicago Women's 5K on June 24th at 7:10am in Grant Park. The goal race for 10K participants will be the Rainbows Summer Sunset 10K on June 24th at 4:00pm in Schaumburg.
