    Tips for Summer Running!

    Yes, it's Memorial Day Weekend and that means we kick-off the summer season.

    Even though the calendar says that we have almost a month before summer really begins, it's already been hot and humid!

    The article linked below will give you some important tips for running/walking in the summer! These are not new pieces of information, but they sure are often forgotten!

    We hope you find the article useful and we wish you a summer of fun, fitness and safety!

    Minimalist Running Shoes!

    The media "rage" today in running is about barefoot running. If you've read our blogs, you know where we stand on this topic.

    That's not to say that there isn't any benefit to running in minimalist shoes, if you don't make them your everyday shoe, and if you gradually, and sparingly, add minimalist workouts into your routine.

    We carry both the Saucony Kinvara and the Nike Free which are two minimalist shoes that will give your feet the benefits of a minimalist workout with out the risk of running unshod.

    If you're entertaining this type of training, stop by and speak with one of our sales folks. They'll be happy to discuss how these shoes can help you, and how to run in them in a way to minimize the risk of injury.

    You asked for it! You got it! Running "101" for 10K
    No Bo Logo

    Many of you are familiar with or alumni of our popular No Boundaries beginner 5K program.

    Many of you who participated, as well as those who have already run a 5K, expressed interest in taking your running to the next level to the 10K distance.

    Fleet Feet Mahwah, in conjunction with New Balance will offer a No Boundaries follow-up, "Running 101" a 10K program later this summer.

    This program will be a bit different in that it will be for runners who have at least a 5k distance base built up. It will also include track workouts to teach you how to improve your times without getting injured.

    We will begin the program in late August to prepare you for a December 10K. Keep your eyes on the look out in this newsletter, and on our website for specific dates and details of the program.

    Take your running to new levels!

    We want YOU at FLEET FEET!

    Interested in joining our team? We always need help in providing extraordinary customer service to runners, walkers, and other passionate exercise fanatics, as well as folks that just simply need great shoes. If you want to be part of that, and if you love working with people, we need to talk.

    The job? Well, it includes working with the nicest customers on earth, fitting them into athletic shoes and apparel, and demonstrating accessories. When you're not with customers, it also includes answering the phone promptly, display work, stock work, housekeeping, and assorted other retail chores. If marketing is also one of your talents, we need that too! We can be flexible with hours and days but, Saturdays are "biggies."

    What's In It for You? Competitive pay, generous employee discount for you and your immediate family, the chance to wear test some shoes and apparel, an extensive training program, and your choice of cake on your birthday (but you have to share).
