However, she really found her love of running after college when she was stationed for the Air Force at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. Kimberly loves Running Lab because it has the most enthusiastic staff of any running store she's visited and she has been to many since she's lived in many places in the United States.
Aidan, Sales Associate
I started running in 8th grade after joining the track team chasing a girl, but fell in love with the sport as I went into high school. I ran cross country and track all 4 years at Brighton High School, where I dove deep into running and became a super fan at all levels of the sport, from high school to the professional ranks. I am currently serving as the apparel coordinator and distance training chair on the Michigan State Running Club and am planning on completing USATF certification to pursue coaching alongside a future as a high school teacher. I can be found running all over Brighton, from the trails of Huron Meadows and Bishop Lake to the concrete jungle along Grand River Ave. My favorite things about running are the community and the feeling of pushing yourself beyond what you thought you were capable of. I've met so many incredible people and made so many friends through my passion for the sport, some of which include my coworkers at Running Lab, where I work as a sales associate.
Jen, Assistant Manager
Jen is an active gal with a lot of energy. She enjoys running a variety of distances from 10k's to 50 milers. In her spare time, Jen enjoys cuddling with her dog Mak, cross stitching, hiking, camping and fly fishing.
Paul, Sales Associate & 2018 Team Running Lab Coach of the Year
Chris, Sales Associate
After 35 years in the classroom, I retired from teaching and began my second career at Running Lab in June 2021. I’ve been involved in high school athletics for every one of my teaching years, have coached at the Varsity and JV levels and have used running as my “therapy”. With 24 marathons and 6 Boston’s under my belt, I’ve got the experience and endured the injuries to help you find the right shoes or apparel for your needs.

He moved on to manage two different New Balance concept stores in Wisconsin and Illinois, learning the basics of buying, management, and more precise shoe–fitting utilizing widths and common practices found in traditional sit and fit stores.
Brady, Sales Associate
I run for Brighton High School in cross country and track. I love running with friends and family as well as playing ultimate frisbee and disc golf. I really look forward to helping you find the best shoe for you!

Brenna, Marketing Manager
Brenna runs to de-stress from life with 4 young children. Don't bother to ask her before a run how far she's going, she never knows, so she'll probably just run whatever distance you're up for! She's a fan of the half marathon and terrible weather conditions. When she is not running, she is hiking, biking, camping, orienteering, kayaking, snowshoeing, or just plain enjoying the outdoors!
