NRC Pop-Up Store Now Open

Our sister publication, the Natural Running Center (NRC), which I co-founded with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella and Ironman legend Bill Katovsky (RIP) in 2010, launched its pop-up online store. The NRC is a comprehensive web resource of information and education for all runners and includes an advisory board of health, science, medical, and coaching experts whose purpose was twofold:  to exchange knowledge and ideas with one another; and to easily communicate their findings and writings with all runners.

Please email me any suggestions or feedback (nick at weartested.org) on how we can make it better for runners. Merchandise or designs you want to see? Interested in custom designs? Let me know.
