Sole Experience Running Company & runners lounge

This year I ran my first FULL marathon. I crushed it with the guidance, expertise and friendly smiles from the BEST coach! Eric Muller built me a program fitted for my needs and goals perfectly. He was hard on me when he needed to be, keeping me in focus. And he was understanding and a rock when I had self doubt and needed those positive words. He even popped out onto the course a couple of times to make sure I was on target. He was there for me every step of the way. There is no way I could have accomplished this without him. Thanks Coach E!!!

If you’re looking to join a running group that is fun and full of motivation - Sole Experience Running Company is the place I highly recommend! Eric Muller, owner/operator of Sole Experience is dedicated to getting you where you want to be with your running! There is always discussion on nutrition, injury prevention, proper clothing, shoes and so much more! At Sole, you’re looked after! They ensure everyone gets back safely and no one runs alone! And, there are a few different pace groups to test out with a group leader!

I have run with Sole Experience for a couple of years with different programs they have put on and they have all been amazing. I just finished my 1/2 marathon training and the BMO 1/2 marathon for the first time and I couldn't have done it without the help and support of Eric and his leaders at Sole. They are all so very supportive, knowledgeable and encouraging. For any of your running needs Sole Experience is the beat shop around. Thank you Sole for making me feel like part of your running family!!

It's been a blast to be along for the ride of Sole Experience's evolution from run coaching and clinics to a destination running shop. Eric and Lorie have been a pillar in the running community for years; organizing charity races and supporting local runs. They've had a hand in most any running event in Pitt Meadows.

Eric's been my personal run coach since early 2013. If it wasn't for Eric I'd be a broken mess of a human, and I would have likely stop running long ago. Eric's objective is to have you enjoy your running and with his guidance you WILL get there. There is nothing more empowering than the feeling of being in complete control of your body as you pound the pavement or trail.

They've had their run shop now for a few years and I've bought countless pairs of shoes, though I can't say that they've been all for myself. My wife lives in ON's, a brand that until recently only existed at Sole Experience. They are ahead of the curve; you may not have heard of some of the brands, but the brand name doesn't matter. Eric is invested in the quality and purpose of the shoe's build. Will it enhance your experience? If the answer is no, they don't carry them. AND that's just it. Eric and Lorie truly care about your experience. Whether it's the interaction you have with them in store, in a clinic, or with their footwear. They would never sell you a pair of shoes that were not for you; rather they would refer you to a store and / or shoe that would best enhance your running experience.

Through their learn to run, trail running, and half marathon clinics they have fostered a great supportive community of local runners. Every time I see someone running on our local streets I am eager for the opportunity to greet them. A highlight of my week are high fives during my Sunday morning long runs.

I trust Sole wholeheartedly with my feet and run program. If you are in town, make sure you stop by and say hello.

Lori is very friendly and helpful. Spent good time fitting us and was low pressure.
