running clubs in Louisville

thanks for telling us 5 times

I've had nothing but great experiences at Fleet Feet, too. However, Fleet Feet's runners seem a little stuck up to me. They turned away a friend who, in fact, can beat over half of them. And at races, it looks like they are professional runners that will (at the slowest) break 14 minutes.

The truth is, most of them are 16-minute guys who want to think they're pros. When they race outside of Kentucky, they get it handed to them.

If you are looking for the fastest group to train with in Kentucky, Fleet Feet is the way to go. But if you want to have a more laid-back approach while still training hard, like us non-pro runners should have, I would look into one of the other groups in Louisville.

Chill out Fleet Feet! And don't make running look so damn serious.

And just to let you know, I'm a mid-16 5K, 34 10K and 2:55 marathon runner who lives just outside of Louisville. Not too fast, but I have a great time.

running is serious. Its my life. wheres fleet feet and sign me up!

false, i no many of the fleet feet runners and they're all pretty cool guys.

Runningart2004, thanks for the respones. Very helpful so far, I live about 10 minutes from a few of the major parks. Quick question, I will be living around Hurstbourne and was wondering where I could go to do track workouts.

Your welcome. You can come to my house. I have a track right behind it and we could have lunch or something?

what the f*** dude

Your funny. We have a Brooks sponsorship through the store that covers uniform and warm-ups. Should we not wear the stuff we get for free? We’re just a club team that has some gear to advertise the store that helps sponsor us. How fast do we have to be to please you? The guys on our team have Pr’s ranging from just under 14 (just one) to just under 17 for 5k. Most guys are mid to low 15’s. Sorry that isn’t fast enough for you to allow us to have a team uniform.

What’s with the whole racing outside of Louisville attack? We’ve not had a “A” team go to any club event in years so yeah, our “b” team at club cross got beat bad. We were lucky just to have a scoring team.

Why are we stuck up? Have you actually talked to anyone on the team? We usually run from the store on Sundays at 8am. Feel free come out for a run and get to know us before you attack us.

Chilling out,

Team Member

Fleet Feet member I didn't mean that as an insult. Your team turned down one of my close freinds and I dont see how that was right since he has faster times. And good job getting sponsership from Brooks. I would never wear brooks. Yeah we havent raced out A team yet either. Were waiting for a big race to pull out the big guns. come on man were all adults, get real. Yeah I have met some members and they're all dickheads. Alright man whats your name and me and one of my training partners will come train with you all this sunday at 8am. from the store im assuming?

pissed off,

runner

So that was bizzare, could anyone else comment on a good track in the Louisville area that would be available to do intervals?

male, sacred heart, uofl, uofl fitness path, assumption, kcd, colligiate, manual, ky school of the blind has a nice 200m track, lake side, any local golf course

Swags is the best running store in Louisville. He is a National Champion and Elite world runner. he has every shoe and world class employees

shut up bitches and run

been to FFL once, liked the store, and the employees

the owner rubbed me the wrong way...we got to talking, my running history came up, what events I've run, where I ran in college; she then made an off hand remark about how my coach didn't look like he knew what he was doing and neither did one of his (my school's) premier 1500-5k guys...i didn't say anything at the time, but it struck me as odd that she would go out of her way to slam a coach of mine and a former teammate of a potential customer...came off as real arrogant, wanted to ask her how many Olympians she'd coached

I believe 6 of them. 4 americans, 2 canadians

okay, we'll be at the store this Sunday at 8 a.m.

our "b" team is still recovering from the XC club nationals, but some of our "a" guys are getting ready for spring marathons so we have a scheduled 18 miler.

Be ready to run fast, some of the guys might be a little fired up. and don't worry, we won't wear our brooks uniform.

who said anything about wearing a uniform?

i'm pretty sure he was talking about the way you all act, not the way you dress...
