After retiring from a competitive running career that spanned 20 years; Kate shifted her focus to helping runners of all ages and abilities reach their own goals which range from completing their first 5K to qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Time will be made available for question and answer in this fun fast-paced conversation on finding the joy in running and the inner game of racing.••
Bonus: Post-run pizza & beverages are on us for the talk...
At The Running Place, our goal is to ensure that you not only receive the right shoes, but also understand the reasons behind the choice. We provide free consultations, where we perform a gait analysis, inspect your worn out shoes for telling wear patterns, and talk with you about any injury history. All of this information helps us determine what shoe type is best for you.
Every journey begins with the first step. Before you take that first step, make sure you have the right shoes to get you where you are going. There are high arches, flat arches, and all heights in between. Some feet are rigid and some are flexible. There are different categories of shoes - different foot types are more comfortable and perform better in the right category. We will help you determine your foot type and which category best suits your needs.
