Winter 2024 Couch to 5k Training
No Boundaries is our incredibly popular training program for beginner runners. Almost 2,000 people have taken part in our No Boundaries programs. We have had people start with No Boundaries and then graduate to our 10K and then half marathon teams. We have even had a few people go all the way to the marathon, and you can too! No Boundaries is designed so that you will build mileage with a mix of walking and running gradually and after 9 weeks of training with your dedicated coaches, you will be able to run a complete 5K. And you will have the camaraderie of others just like you. Get ready to be with a highly social and supportive team!
