Tom is passionate about sharing his knowledge, experiences and helping others reach their goals through the pursuit of fitness, both competitive and just for fun.
Lance Penn
Lance has been practicing as a podiatrist for over 15 years . He has always had a passion for running as well as a fetish for running shoes, he has been able to control this fetish by surrounding himself with runners and loads of shoes.
Lance married in 2003 and has two young children. Lance is passionate about life (shoes) and infuses this into the relationships and commitment he has with his patients (and shoes).
Brent Goddard
Brent has been practicing podiatry for 13 years and really enjoys the diversity that comes from owing a running store. Brent’s passion for running was born when coming to the realization in year 10 rugby that he was smaller than most. Running away from people seemed like a far more appealing option than running at them.
Brent does ‘think he can run’ and has fortunately had some good results to back it up in recent events. Brent also stays fit so he can keep up with his two young children.
