Hi Everyone!
Has everyone been out training in those beautiful
fall colours? What a chance to enjoy the cooling weather!
Also coming in is a sidewalk sale! Starting September
12th and running until September 23rd, there are some hot deals
and great chances to maybe grab an old favorite pair of shoes.
Speaking of hot deals, the Vector promotion is
nearly at an end. Coincidentally, it ends the same day as the
Ramsey Tour - could this be a cosmic hint not to hold back on
getting that new outfit for the big race?
The Customer Appreciation coupons distributed
last week are also valid only until this Sunday. A great chance
to get some reflective gear to stay safe on those shorter fall
days.
Tip of the week:
Basic running is as simple as putting one foot in front of the
other quickly, but there are various kinds of running that can
be used for different purposes: speed work, for instance, such
as interval training and fartleks, helps a runner run faster;
hill work builds strength; long runs build endurance.

This week's product highlight:
The fall Garmin Forerunner 205 Runner's Pack is a super-sensitive
GPS which works in areas such as trails and between tall buildings.
It continuously monitors time, pace, distance and calories to
help you get the most out of your training time and the unit
comes with the software you need to download and analyze your
workouts.
We are currently seeking a motivated individual
to join our management team. Interested parties are encouraged
to bring a resume to the Running Room.
