Wasatch Running Center Opens in Sandy

March 18 2004--“Because so many people run in Utah, especially in the south end of the valley, I felt like it was time to offer them the best shoes and apparel that meet their needs,” said Wasatch Running Center owner Glen Gerner. “I want more people to find the right shoe which in turn creates a better running experience. The more you enjoy it, the more you’ll run and stay fit and healthy.” The Wasatch Running Center allows runners to test their shoes on their indoor track lane or covered sidewalk prior to purchase.

The Wasatch Running Center staff is trained and experienced in running and racing and therefore equipped to handle training-related questions and problems. Their goal is to ensure their customers find the right shoe for his or her biomechanics. A runner who runs with the proper running shoe lowers their chance of injury, making his or her running experience more enjoyable. A running shoe has four jobs: to absorb shock, to stabilize the foot, to provide traction, and to protect the foot from the running surface. All performance manufacturers make high quality shoes. If the shoe has the proper support and stability elements for the specific runner - it fits the shape and size of the foot – then it is the best shoe for that runner. Improperly fitted running shoes will typically not last as long as properly fitted performance training shoes. The lifespan of a pair of running shoes is typically 350-500 miles, provided that their design matches the biomechanics of the runner who uses them. The staff at the Wasatch Running Center wants to make sure its customers get the most mileage and value out of their running shoes.

The Wasatch Running Center is the only specialty running store in the Sandy area. Glen Gerner hopes that the Wasatch Running Center makes running better and more enjoyable for the residents of the Wasatch front. His motto is "No matter how bad your day's gone, if you got in a run, something good happened.”
