Over the summer a few of the guys on the team and I went to a cross country camp in Colorado. While we were there, we went to visit the Boulder Running Company. The Boulder Running Company is this store that specializes in selling running gear. While shopping through the store I found a lot of running gear that I have never seen before. There was this contraption that rolled out your calves. It had wheels on either side and you had to roll in up and down your leg. Along with all the gear you could look through, they also had tread mills where the employees could analyze your running form! The employee that analyzed my teams form was a very strange man. He told us that we all had terrible running form, and that we should buy new running shoes as soon as possible. I did not believe him because a few months before then I had my form analyzed by a running specialist, who studies running form for a job, told me I had great form. The store also had an event going on outside the store. There was a tent with music and a group of people who were going to run and among them was a famous runner! Frank Shorter was there and we got to meet him!
Although the staff was strange, to say the least, I would have to say that this store is a great place to visit if you are interested in running. They have great running gear and even have, on occasion, events that include famous runners. I would recommend this store to anyone who were to visit Boulder Colorado.
