Industry experts say the world of runners is growing, and coinciding with that growth is the progress of technology available to runners.  We at KT Tape would like to thank all the specialty retailers out there who accommodate the needs of those athletes continually striving for their PR’s.  We are proud to have a presence in more than one thousand specialty retail stores, many of which focus specifically on the sport of running.   Kinesiology therapeutic tape is great for all sports, and is especially helpful to runners and their specific needs.  A recent article in the trade magazine Running Insight quotes the KT Tape Vice President Jim Jenson below.

“From the very first day, we have been focused on runners and the run specialty channel because KT Tape is a perfect solution to the common overuse injuries runners experience such as  ITBS, runner’s knee, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, hamstring strain, et cetera. The running market has been very receptive to our product. We are thrilled with how quickly runners are adopting KT Tape, and the enthusiasm generated by athletes who use the tape and see instant results.”–KT Tape’s Jim Jenson in Running Insight

Visiting specialty running stores and getting to know the staff there, we feel, is an important part of your overall running experience.  The quality and attention to detail you’ll find there is impressive, because most of the owners, managers and employees are passionate runners who are eager to talk about the sport and help you get stronger, faster and more satisfied with your shoes, apparel and accessories.  We encourage you to get out to these specialty stores and take advantage of the advancements in running technology and the products that facilitate better performance.  It’s a great time to be alive, and an even better time to be a runner!
