Come Train With Us!

Registration Opens Feb 22!

Program Start: Saturday, March 29th

Go from couch to 5k with our No Boundaries 5k training program! No Boundaries focuses on beginners learning how to start running and those returning to running after an injury or an extended break, but all levels are welcome. The program is structured to help you cross the finish line of your first race in just 10 weeks! Along the way we'll provide you with motivation to keep you moving, guidance and advice, weekly training groupruns, and educational clinics on topics such as proper nutrition, choosing the right gear, and avoiding injury. Plus, you'll have the camaraderie of others just like you!

Our program meets in-person once a week (Saturday mornings) during the training period - but our training plan includes "homework" 3 days/week. Participants are encouraged (and welcome!) to join our Wednesday evening commUNITY group runs at 6:15pm.

Each session will last about an hour. We do utilize run/walk intervals (starting with 2-minute run/2-minute walk and progressing to 4-minute run/1-minute walk) for those interested. We highly encourage you to provide your own timing device. If you don’t have a Garmin/Coros watch, there are lots of interval timing apps available to download for free on your cell phone. We’ll share our favorite with you and can help walk you through the set-up. As we will be running alongside you, we are also going to call out intervals for those doing run/walk, but having the app or a device will help you with your homework runs. 

At the end of the 10-weeks, you'll be able to run or run/walk a 5K race feeling healthy, happy, and strong!

STARTS: Saturday, March 29th at 8:30am. Meet at the store.

PROGRAM: 10-week program will culminate in our graduation race. Formal group sessions meet every Saturday morning at 8:30am, and casual group runs meet Wednesday evening – meets at the store.

GRADUATION RACE: UConn Health 5K on Saturday, June 7th
