Fleet Feet Run Club brings people together through movement Neal Amador started running in his mid-50s after his wife suered a back injury. To help her heal, she took up walking and Amador joined in support. The pair started a couch-to-5K program in 2014 and Amador has been running ever since. “In a seven month window, I went from not having run before to doing a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon,” Amador said. The background Mark King, owner of Fleet Feet Round Rock, rst opened the store in 2013 and opted to host a run club at the location. Amador joined a Fleet Feet run club in 2015 and in early 2016 he took over as director, continuing to mentor and coach fellow runners. He recently completed his 23rd half marathon. What they oer Fleet Feet has run clubs in Round Rock, Leander and Georgetown with weekly social runs at the Fleet Feet stores in Round Rock and Georgetown, according to its website.
