Might be true, but I'm confused as why they would since most people walking in the door know exactly why they are there...especially at Hanson's. Personally, I think it's good for 4 hours a day 3 or 4 days a week to break things up. I'm sure that running out at Stoney Creek and then waiting for the next workout can be a drag. Yes, I know that they do other things, but since they enjoy running, why not get some extra cash working at a place where you know what you're talking about and enjoy sharing it?The development of being a top runner is the goal, making the Olympics. If it doesn't work out, move on and use your college degree, no biggie. If you're stuck at 2:15, then move on when the improvement plateaus. Not everyone is going to run 2:10:47 like Brian Sell did and no one has since, at Hanson's, but Curtis is the closest with 2:11:20.

Many athletes have this embarrassment stigma about working at a local running store, not sure why as it's good for them and their brand they are supposed to be representing.
