| - I'm a believer! This is truly one of the best running stores around. Yes, it seemed a bit intimidating to me at first, but now that I have been around more often I've realized that I really like this store. Right now I'm training for my first half marathon and to do so I went ahead and joined the Runners Den Training Group. It's a well designed program that is fun, but will get me to the point of running 13.1 miles by the date of the race. And while I'm still not fast, I'm getting my endurance back.
Also, I was starting to get black toenails from my previous shoes, that I picked out myself, and when I went in to the store they measured me and noted that I needed to go up another 1/2 size to allow for feet swelling on long runs.
Plus, it's a locally owned store, which means that while it might not have all the giveaways, marketing, and glitz of the big chain running stores, it does mean that you will get personal attention and care from people who not only know their stuff, but are runners themselves.
There's a reason that Runner's Den has been around since 1974 and hopefully will be around for many more years!
