New Year's Day Run 2011

We want to start the New Year off on the right foot (followed by the left foot). What better way than to run with friends! At 10:00 a.m. New Year's Day at our U City store, we are planning to run with anyone who wants to join us - varying paces and distances depending on the group. We will be serving some healthy and tasty snacks and Starbucks coffee after the run. Check back here or on our Facebook page for updates. Let us know if you are interested in joining us - give us a call, let us know on Facebook or email us at ghisallorunning@gmail.com.

Congratulations to Mike Aitken!

He, along with several Ghisallo folks, had a fine day at the running of the Alton River Road race this past Saturday. Mike finished first overall, followed closely by Zac Freudenburg. Sean Birren was 4th, followed closely by Sam Yount (in for the holidays from Colorado). Jason Holroyd and Bruce Nie ran step for step until the finish, with Jason nosing out Bruce by a second. Bruce did capture first place overall male masters! Check out the link to all the results HERE.

It was 100 miles!!!! All at once, not accumulated over a period of days or weeks. If you check out the link below, you will notice several familiar St. Louis area runners who participated in this LOOOOONG race on Nov. 14 in Catoosa, OK. Dr. Tom Whalen shattered the course record, completing the course in 15 hours and 34 minutes. Other St. Louis area runners finishing in the top 20 Men's included Eric Buckley (6th), David Pokorny (7th), Matt Raterman (8th), John Pollihan (11th) and Jeff Neuman (18th). Top St. Louis area women finishers included Barb Gruener (3rd) and Suzanne Kenyon (24th). Congratulations to all! Mother Road 100 race results

Video Gait Analysis Coming Soon to our Marathon Sports Location!!!

Following the tremendous response to our video gait analysis service from our customers at our Cape Girardeau location, Ghisallo Running will be offering this same service at our Marathon Sports location in Chesterfield (141 and Olive). We are currently in the process of setting up the treadmill, camera and TV monitor. Once all is complete, we will be able to analyze your gait and foot strike while you are on the treadmill. The video feedback will let you see what we see and show you how different shoes work for you. Check back on our blog or our Facebook page for updates on our progress.
