Pete Bernard
No Boundaries 5k Coach
Pete Bernard will be coaching our Fall No Boundaries 5k Training Program. Pete began running later in life, completing his first 5Ks in his 40s before really finding his stride after joining a Fleet Feet Longmeadow training program in his early 50s. Since then, he has gone on to run 2 marathons, 8 half marathons, and countless 10Ks and 5Ks, building strong connections within the running community along the way.
As a coach, Pete is excited to support new runners, share what he’s learned, and help each person reach their goals whether that’s finishing their first 5K or setting a new personal record. A fun highlight from his journey: this spring he got to run a 5K alongside his 11-year-old granddaughter in her very first race, an experience they’ll both cherish forever.
