I just reached out to fitTRIrun to discuss some issues, after having a less than adequate experience from another store. I was very pleased with them, they took the time to hear my issue and give some information and advice. I am looking forward to getting into their store and getting my wife into a new pair of road shoes and myself some new trail runners.
I am grateful for the information that Dr. Cucuzzella shared on the Trailrunner Nation podcast, that’s where I found him. It reinforced much of what I am already doing but opened my understanding and gave me a desire to learn and do more. Thank you Dr. Mark
Thanks Ed! Kim and Steve are the real deal!
