On this weeks show, Justine and Kylie interview Matthew Balzer, the owner of Reno Running Company. They, among other things, discuss the intersection of fitness and community in Northern Nevada. Balzer shares how his childhood experiences with pets and his father’s athleticism led to a lifelong passion for specialty run retail, and eventually acquiring local race directing responsibilities. He explains the technical services his stores provide, such as gate analysis and professional shoe fittings, to support individuals at all fitness levels. They discuss major local events like the Reno Tahoe Odyssey and the importance of weekly track clubs in fostering accountability among residents. Additionally, Balzer reflects on the challenges of entrepreneurship and his personal goals for upcoming triathlon and marathon competitions.
