Training Program

Fleet Feet Sports is more than just a running and walking specialty store – it is a starting point. Since their doors have opened, they have been offering a wide range of training programs ranging from the 5K distance to the Full Marathon distance.

All of their programs offer participants guidance and advice from experienced coaches, weekly group practices, training schedules, and educational clinics on topics such as proper nutrition, choosing the right gear, and avoiding injury, all within a fun and supportive environment.

Fleet Feet Sports will be offering the No Boundaries 5K and Next Steps 10K Training Programs as the Official Training Programs of the 2011 Rat Race. Here is a brief description of both programs:
