This is just the beginning of the revolution and I will be talking a lot more about it too.

If you want to learn how to reduce running injuries by using the ChiRunning® techniques take a One-Day Workshop or a private lesson from Email Coach Steve or Email Coach Gary.

Finding the Proper Running Shoe Fit

I stopped by Road Runners Sports in Torrance and met with store manager and fit specialists Teresa to talk about running shoe fit.

There are lots of things to consider when you are purchasing running shoes and the first thing I think about is the return policy. When a store stands behind their fit then they are invested in doing it right and getting you into a shoe you’ll like.

Most “Running Stores” have a return policy. I like Road Runner Sports because they have a 60 day return policy.

Remember when getting running shoes it is usually best to get your shoes from a “Running Store” because their job is to take good care of you. Some of my other favorite stores in So Cal are A Snail’s Pace, Run With Us, Runner’s High.
