Phidipides in Van Nuys - Run with us has nothing on these guys.

Don't know how this fits into your commute but Josh Spiker just bought Inside Track in January. He'll have a good shop.

Who's Josh Spiker?

Pacers Running Company, new store opening in Chino in a few weeks! knowledgable staff, and great people!

i guess i'm biased because i am assisting in the opening of it, but hey, we're real runners! all the full time people have degrees in kinesiology, and have been running for a long time, and are pretty serious about racing.

I will definitely back up this assessment. The Phidippides Encino (Van Nuys) store has really stood the test of time... they have been open for nearly 30 years! Their staff is fantastic, and they are actively involved in the running community within the greater L.A. area.

Running Center

Best combination of service and selection I've found yet

Dont buy shoes from the Running Store in Carlsbad. They convinced me to train for a marathon in the Nike Free. My foot has been screwed up ever since (2 years now).

The Starting Line in Marina Del Rey, on Washington.

It is near the beach; south end of Venice. Best Mexican food around at Baja Cantina across the street.

That's the name "Running Center" not " Running Store"

Very interesting name! I looked it up:

Tuone Udaina (? – June 10, 1898; Antonio Udina in Italian) was the last speaker of the Dalmatian language. He was the main source of knowledge for his parents' dialect, that of the island of Veglia (modern Krk), to the linguist Matteo Bartoli who recorded it in 1897, though Udaina was hardly an ideal informant; Vegliot Dalmatian was not his native language, and he had learned it only from listening to his parents' private conversations. Moreover, he had not spoken the language for 20 years at the time he acted as an informant, and he was deaf and toothless as well. He worked as a barber, and he was called Burbur ('barber' in Dalmatian) because of it. When he was killed by an anarchist bomb on June 10, 1898, the language became extinct.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuone_Udaina"

Are you also a deaf toothless barber or just a fan of them?

Was it trackhead ? He works there or at least he did.

Running Center in Redlands is great! They also have a few more locations in the inland empire.

Dont remember the salespersons name just remember the circumstances.

Sounds just like Run With Us

Road Runner Sport. They are all over and growing fast. Probably the best service and most knowledge you will find every where. Specifically the Laguna Hills store. Check them out!

are you serious? they're a complete joke! it's just a couple of pretty faces that put you into motion control shoes. most of the people that work for the company do not run. i know, because i have friends that work at the anaheim and LH store that have never run a step in their lives, and they ask my advice all the time.

Does Laszlo Tabori still have his running store in Burbank? When I lived in SoCal I would buy from him exclusively. Where else can you buy shoes from an ex-Olympian and the 3rd man to break the 4-minute mile.
