What’s going on in Nerd Fitness Prime?
For Nerd Fitness Prime Members, Coach Jim will be leading a twice-a-week training program for the next 6 weeks:
- The 1st session will cover your running/walking missions for the week.
- The 2nd session will cover supplementary activities: strength training, stretching, and proper sleep that you can do to prepare for the event.
If you are interested in having a specific 5K training program to follow, experts to ask if you have questions, and accountability from a supportive community…
Now’s the time to join us in NF Prime!
Note: the training starts the week of June 8th, 2020, but all sessions are recorded so you can follow along at your leisure.

What if I Can’t Go Outside?
No problem!
Our goal is to move together for about 30 minutes. Coach Jim will go through some alternatives in our NF Prime training series, but some ideas to move inside:
- Jump rope, march/jog in place, or climb the stairs
- Run a 5k on a treadmill
- Use any type of stationary bike (distance is approx 20k)
- Use a rowing machine to row about 6k
Or if you’re feeling wild, everyone’s favorite: 30 minutes of burpees!
Nerd Fitness Running Resources
If you’re interested in training on your own, we got you covered.
