From our family to yours, our hearts go out to all our customers and their family and friends who are being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our website remains open and we are shipping daily, with the greatest of care. Unfortunately, we have a greatly reduced staff and team here now.
During these times we also feel it is important to give back to the community and we have an ongoing donation program to the American Red Cross to help raise funds for their
live-saving programs during this pandemic. Our ongoing virtual races at GoneForaRun empower families to stay active and set healthy goals during this difficult time. We also
are hosting free training workouts on FBL and great video and instructional content for cross-training.
During this unprecedented time we can't thank you enough for your continued support of ChalkTalk SPORTS, Gone For a Run and LulaLax.
Remember, 'Tough Times Don't Last But Tough People Do" Dr Robert Schuller. We will all get through this together! Stay strong, stay positive, stay active and enjoy time with your family. Thank you

Introducing Coach Megan
Megan Cunningham is an elite distance runner competing in distances from the 3,000m to the marathon.
While competing for the University of Missouri, Megan and her family were involved in a traumatic car accident which left her unsure if she’d ever be able to walk, much less run,again. Through patience, perseverance, and a bit of stubbornness, Megan returned to the track after nine months off of any running. Megan was able to overcome her injuries and walked away from her collegiate career a two time SEC Conference Champion (5k and 10k) and a two time NCAA Academic All-American.
Post-collegiality, Megan has shifted her focus towards racing on the roads as well as coaching fellow runners. Most recently, Megan won the Virginia Beach Rock N’ Roll Half Marathon and competed in the 2020 USA Olympic Marathon Trials.

I am here to not only help you improve as a runner, but to give you a better understanding of training and the benefits of each workout. - Coach Megan
