"Great store, great staff, great local shopping for runners. Their training offered spring and fall is worth every penny of its menial cost if you want a great group to help you train for you first or 101st marathon or half marathon.

You Have Questions? We Have Answers:

I'm not really a 'runner' and nervous about showing up and not knowing waht to do.

Relax, you'll fit right in. Ask for a run leader and let them know its your first time. We'll help you find a buddy to show you the ropes, make introductions and find buddies comfortable for you. We have walkers, run/walkers, joggers all the way up to marathoners and Boston qualifiers.  If you are already an experience runner, you will find yourself training with a group with the same goals and ambition as you that you can pass the miles away talking with each other.

WHAT if I can't run as fast or far as others?

We have walkers, run/walkers, joggers, and runners of all experience levels, speeds, expectations, and motivations. And we all know that finding your 'tribe' is the best way to stay motivated and putting down the miles.

WHAT if I can't make every training session?

No problem. Come when you can.  We're happy to see ya!

What can Runners World Tulsa offer that I can't get on my own?

You'll find support, sharing of information, run buddies, social networking, common goals and interest, someone to talk with on those long runs,  learning from experienced runners or, visa versa and being a mentor to new runners.  We try to have fun and be encouraging.  And, we're all runners just like you with the added benefit of years of experience and a wide breadth of tools to help people reach their fitness goals.

I don't know the first thing about running. Can you help? 

Absolutely! You are always welcome to ask about these important topics. In addition, we offer in-person clinics regularly from our staff and local experts from nutritionists, physical therapists and more.

What should I do if something starts to hurt?

Our main goal is your safety through training. Recognizing an injury, or potential injury is important and can be the difference of finishing your goal race.  Often, resting or strengthening is all that is needed to get you healed and able to continue training but it's always best to get professional advice so that you can avoid aggravating the issue and properly recover.
