| - This is my local running room so I am of course quite partial to it, but for good reason!
Running room has clinics for all types of runners - learn to run, 5k, 10k, half marathon and full marathon. As long as you are prepared for the group you are part of, you will have a great time. The staff is pretty good at ensuring that people don't sign up for clinics they aren't capable of (the full marathon especially!). If you retake a clinic, you get a discount on the usual $69.99 - something around $45 I think. The clinics have instructors, leads and running manuals to keep you in check. I usually join them simply for the motivation. Especially in the cold winter months! There are also free runs on Wednesdays and Sundays if you want to join a friendly group of runners!
Great assortment of shoes, tech socks, clothing, supplies - pretty much everything you need to start and continue a successful running career. I only give 4/5 stars because of the prices. A lot of the products are REALLY expensive. It's to be expected with technical gear, but I generally get my clothes elsewhere unless I have a coupon.
However, with every purchase you accumulate points and once you get 5000 points (equivalent of $500 spent) you get a $10 gift certificate in the mail. The free running room magazine also sometimes has coupons in the back for 15-25% off certain things (shoes, electronics, coats, etc).
All in all, a great location, and a great place!
