Basic Running Programs (101 and 201) Fleet Feet's Basic Running Programs are designed for people of all ages and fitness levels who want to gradually ease into running. Our programs incorporate a run/walk technique to allow the body to adapt to new levels of running. The atmosphere is supportive, non-competitive and fun.

The goal race for this program is a 5K (3.1 miles). Running 101 is right for you if you: can walk at a brisk pace comfortably for 30 minutes, a few times a week; are pain-free from injury for at least three months; have not been running in the last two months; would like to be able to run/walk three miles; and, want to meet some great people and laugh a lot. The Running 201 Program is for folks who are currently running 2-3 miles and would like to be able to build to 6-7 miles. The "goal" race for this program is a 10K (6.2 miles). The key to building mileage and endurance is to do it gradually, allowing your body to adapt to new levels of impact. Running 201 is right for you if you: are pain-free from injury for at least three months; can run for 30 minutes (sustained or 30 minutes of running between walk breaks); would like to be able to run/walk six miles by May 3; and want to meet some great people and laugh a lot.
