So after my 5K run I was looking for some cliff's blocks for my bike ride. I remember Rogue from the Austin Half Marathon expo earlier this year. So I decided to check them out. It was a cool little shop. I only bought the cliff blocks but I noticed how they did the fitting for shoes.
In Houston, Luke's Locker is one of the best custom fitting shoe stores and they just have you jog down the middle of the store. This place have you run on a treadmill and films it. WOW. Then they come back and go over the video with you before suggesting a shoe. Why can't Houston have places like this?

I kind of feel like I'm cheating on Run-Tex by going to Rogue, but I can't help it, I just love Rogue. They took their time fitting me with the perfect pair of running shoes for me, and they were on sale! I spent half as much as I usually do and got a great pair of shoes.
A while back I signed up to take a swimming class through Rogue as well. I really liked it the one time I went.
Oh yeah, I don't run either. But hey, a girl needs good shoes for walking, elipticaling and strength training too, right?

Rogue and everything rogue is awesome! I have done a couple of the trail training programs and they were so much fun. The great thing about Rogue is that they have something for everyone from road running and trail running to triathlons and nutrition. Plus they have a cool store where you can get all the gear you will ever need. I particularly like Josh who helped me get into the correct trail running shoe, he is awesome (and cute). My only complaint is that I live NW and the store is on the other side of downtown on the east side. Trying to get there is a royal pain.

When I signed up for a half-marathon training group with Rogue, I hoped to improve my fitness and maybe meet some people to run with. I need compadres who are crazy enough to get up early on a Saturday morning to run 12 miles.
I've found that at Rogue. Everyone's so friendly, and even though I was a little intimidated as a beginning runner, not once did I experience anything but encouragement and support from runners of all levels of experience.
And, as my coach Carolyn (who was great, by the way) said to us on the first day: if you put in the effort and follow the program, you'll be ready for race day. My half-marathon is in two weeks and I feel confident that I'll do great. Before I joined Rogue, I'd never run further than 6 miles.
What a great little community - I'm really happy I found these people. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

I'm a Rogue, totally. I love these guys. My coaches Ginny and Leilani were wonderful and encouraging and supportive. I would have never made it across the finish line of Danskin without these women. And they were there--at the finish line (as well as the swim finish and on the hill of hell!)
I want to train with them again soon. (I'm debating the second session of the Iron Chicks program this summer...)
***
I've only been in Rogue's IronChicks Danskin program for less than a week, but so far I'm totally thrilled with it. Ask me again in ten weeks or on June 8th--to see if I make it across the finish line. However, with training and guidance from these ladies, I have no doubt I will.
The group's been inspiring and at the same time, just the kick in the ass I needed. I've also been very happy with their level of instruction and the fact that there's a place for me to fit in--from advanced swimming to medium biking to total beginning running. The spectrum of abilities is large and the coaches are patient.
I'll keep you posted. But for now--highly recommended. I'm a Rogue--and have no desire for another mediocre boot camp!

Rogue is the best! After trying a couple different programs to help me train for running distance races, Rogue has been the most impressive. They're organized and they have a group for every level for most of the major running and triathlon events going on around Austin. The coaches have been great and I have trained for 5ks, half-marathons, and marathons with the group.

So you run around the lake a couple times a week and think you are a runner? Not yet... If you want to get serious, or at least have someone to b***h at when the run gets long, the hills get steep, or the weather gets hot then join a running group. I have run with a few different Rogue programs and am now finishing up their At&t marathon program - probably the largest of their groups. In the past I always joined just to have someone to run with but this year I have realized what a great training program it really it. I am getting ready to cut more than 20 minutes off of my marathon personal record and I attribute it all to the motivation and coaching of Rogue. And with extra events like happy hours, singles mixers, pub runs, and a pep rally Rogue becomes more than just a running group but a great place to meet new people.

I've trained with Rogue since 2004. I'd gotten injured training for the Austin Motorola marathon in 2004 and decided to join Rogue to train for Chicago that same year. I finished with a 20 minute PR and Boston qualifier. Since then I've run Boston twice and PR'd there with a 3:01 ... not bad for somebody that ran a 3:57 for his first marathon.
In addition the the raining the coaches, facilities, variety in routes and services with Rogue are great. I'd recommend the training to my family and friend (and have) for first time runners to those looking to improve their performance.

Rogue is freaking awesome. I refer all my friends and the store couldn't be better. The service is without a doubt, top of the line. The running programs are the best in Austin!!!
