The general store philosophy is to keep a mix of people in the shop, ranging
in age groups and running interests. For example, on a weekend you can
usually find an aged marathoner/ultra-runner, a collegiate trackster, and a
couple of in-betweeners. Sometimes the store is staffed by road racers
only, other times you may discover tracksters or trail runners helping you out.
Below is a sampling of mini-biographies of people that you are likely to
encounter at the shop:

Scottish kilts. And he thought he was working in a running store?

first-place Mike (below) for the open team at the Rockville Twilghter 8K, an

Brian Waskiewicz - Brian occasionally fills in for us when he is not off flying big airplanes as a Captain for Delta Connection. We like to tease him because he has never held a job outside of aviation, and consequently really enjoys coming to work at Falls Road Running to discover what the working world is like outside of a cockpit. Although he hasn't competed in earnest since his high school days on the Boy's Latin cross-country team, he still enjoys recreational fitness running and being involved with the local running community. Other occupations include rock'n'roll drumming. |
