Give the Gift of Faster, Farther and Healthier

With the holidays quickly approaching, the FLEET FEET Training Department has put together a gift guide for the runner in your life. Because what could be better than giving the gift of faster, farther, and healthier? (We know. It’s hard to top.) Here’s our list of ways to help the special runners in your life make the most of their training this year! 

Training Programs
Just like every journey begins with the first step, every race begins with the first run. When traveling the road of training, why not join the highly successful, energetic, popular FLEET FEET Training Team? The New Year will see the start of new Marathon, Half Marathon, No Boundaries, Walk Fit, and Ton of Fun programs. And when February rolls around, our popular Speed School will return for those who want to pick up the pace! Now is the time to reserve a spot for any one of these fantastic programs. 

Workshops
Some of the most read and researched literature on running is how to deal with injuries. Our learn-by-doing workshops are designed to help prehab and rehab the most common issues that affect endurance athletes. Consider this: studies show that we retain 10 percent of what we read, 30 percent of what we see demonstrated, and 75 percent of what we practice doing. In other words Doing > Reading. So give your runner the gift of doing! 

Classes
Every runner has muscle imbalances, and ever runner compensates for imbalances in some way. These compensations cause both inefficiencies and injuries. A stronger, more coordinated athlete is a faster, healthier runner. By coaching movement, not muscle, our classes train the body to withstand the workload and demands of running. Grabbing a package of classes will help prepare your runner for the training ahead. 

Assessments
The best way to plot a path to reach one's goals is to know where to start. We are all different. We all have different strengths, weaknesses, physiologies, and metabolic rates. Because of that, there is no "one size fits all" way to achieve a goal. By utilizing our scientifically based assessments, we can design a program for your specific physiology. Sign your runner up for an assessment to take the guesswork out of training.

The FLEET FEET Training Department utilizes state-of-the-art training and testing designed to meet the unique needs and goals of endurance athletes. If you're still looking for that perfect gift for the endurance athlete in your life, check out the wide array of ways we can help. What could be better than the gift of a happier, healthier New Year? Come enjoy the holidays with FLEET FEET! 

Good luck and Happy Racing!
