Patton Gleason wants to get Richmond up and running. The co-founder of Natural Running Store moved the online running-shoe retailer from his garage in Dallas to a 400-square-foot warehouse in Manchester in May. His inventory includes cushioned, minimalist, trail-running and CrossFit shoes. Gleason, who founded the company with Peak Experiences climbing-gym owner Scott Powell in January 2011, also teaches running seminars and workshops along the East Coast. On Dec. 8 and 15, he will lead a three-hour running technique workshop at CrossFit RVA and West End CrossFit, respectively. (866) 422-8643 or naturalrunningstore.com.
