INTERESTED IN TRAINING FOR A 5K, BUT NEED A LITTLE HELP GETTING STARTED?
HERE'S A SIMPLE 8-WEEK TRAINING PLAN
ADAPTED FROM RUNNER'S WORLD MAGAZINE

ZOOLOGY 101
f all animals in the wild, the unchallenged
champion of balance and traction is the moun-
tain goat. Using that amazing animal as inspiration,
Nike took the wilderness into the lab to create the all-new
Air Terra Goatek, the ulti-
mate trail-running shoe
for the most demanding &
trail runner. The Air
Terra Goatek's
state-of-the-art
design mimics
nature's original model-the
mountain goat hoof: Its padded, hoof-shaped
outsole conforms to uneven terrain, providing extra grip
and stability. Meanwhile, its cushioned interior design keeps
your feet secure and supported over ever-changing sur-
faces. Look for Air Terra Goatek, a member of the Nike
ALPHA Project, in stores everywhere later this spring.
