On today's Run to the Top Podcast.

We've been able to change the attitudes of our local runners by creating an environment that is safe

and basically created this environment that it's fun,

that they can do some of their indoor training

and work on speed work as well as hills

while having a fun time and logging some miles

versus being out there alone on the streets.

Welcome to the Run to the Top Podcast

from Runners Connect, where it's all

about learning from the best and most inspiring minds in the sport.

Together, we can train a smarter, healthier, and faster running community.

Now here's your host, Stephanie Kay Atwood.

Welcome, this is Stephanie K. Atwood Boston Marathon Qualifier, coach, and host for the Run to the

Today we have some great folks joining us who will share their thoughts and experience on the running business they have

developed. Misa Dugali, Jeff Stokes and Katie Onby will talk about their business called Stride,

a one-of-a-kind indoor workout studio geared specifically to runners.

Welcome, Misa. Hi. Hi. Hi, welcome Jeff. Hi, how are you? I'm good. Thank you and
