Training Programs :: No Boundaries Learn to Run 5K Training
No Boundaries "Learn to Run" 5K Training — Fall 2012
RUNNING CHANGES EVERYTHING.
Who says training can't be fun? The CES professional coaches will help you run or walk faster and farther, feel better about yourself and have a great time doing it! We take an individual approach to understanding YOUR goals and definition of achievement, then we coach you every step of the way.
We've created a custom, 10-Week Training Program designed to teach you how to start (and stick with!) a successful running program. No experience is necessary! If you're saying to yourself, "I've never run before—is this program for me?", then we want you! If you can walk, you can join our program! We'll celebrate your achievements by participating in the following awesome event:
Pumpkins in the Park 5k on Saturday, October 27th, 2012

You don't have to come to both days — just pick the one that works the best for you! This also means that if you can't make it to your regular location, you can still join the gang at the other store! Everybody wins! Group training sessions are held every Wednesday or Thursday, beginning with our first session on Wednesday, August 15th (at the Old Town location) and Thursday, August 16th (at the Lincoln Square location). For a little more detail on what happens at those sessions, read on...
Wednesdays/Thursdays — 6:30pm (Sessions always start at Fleet Feet Sports)
The focus of these mid-week runs will be on learning, improving your efficiency and form, pacing & having fun! Our Coaching staff and Mentors will be on hand to help teach, challenge and motivate you! We'll start each session with a brief educational clinic/session to make sure you learn all you need to know to have a successful running experience. Then, we'll head out for an energizing, fun workout!
CES Alumni "Mentors" are available to guide you at the appropriate pace, as well as provide support and motivation from their own personal running experiences. Our coaches will also run with you to motivate you and help with any concerns or questions that come up along the way.
BONUS: Restrooms, changing rooms, secure gear storage and water are available at all of our group training sessions!
