The weekly long run is always an adventure, never knowing how we'll feel in the late miles, the valuable miles! All the running before the fatigue hits are necessary but the miles that start to hurt are what we came for, the good stuff! These painful miles are where the body learns to store more glycogen and better utilize oxygen, the training effects we're looking for. Savor the pain, and get excited when it hits, you worked hard to feel this bad, the rewards will come!

The passion for running that is shared by the crew at Running Fit shows in everything they do, from the products and services they provide in the stores to the incredible events they produce. Memorable events that let us put our hard work and training to the test. A new one to put on your calendar is the "RUN SCREAM RUN!" 5K and 10K on Saturday morning, October 22nd. Racing in costume while being chased by a demon with a chainsaw may get you a new PR!
