About Us at the Running Revolution, Santa Cruz

You crawl to walk.
You walk to run.
You run to live.
We live to run.

Tim

Little did Tim know when he placed in the top five at the Soquel High Cross Country Invitational that he would eventually be owner of a running store just down the street. His passion for running spans from the University of Colorado XC team to his travels around the US at 10K’s and marathons. With a 2:53 best, 4 Boston Marathons, and the Ironman Wisconsin – Tim thrives on sharing his knowledge with others. He has coached at Archibishop Mitty, and continues to coach adult runners in all distances across the Bay Area.

Heidi

Beginning on the soccer fields of Denver, CO, running and fitness have always been a part of Heidi’s life. It’s that passion and focus that led her to a degree in Nutrition and Diatetics from the University of Northern Colorado, and then on to the running mecca of Boulder. Not stopping there – Heidi has continued to excel at all races, including 10K’s, three Boston Marathons, and numerous Triathlons. She is always in demand at national and local running clinics for her expertise in running, nutrition, and Trigger Point Systems.

Cilla

Cilla is the general manager for Run Rev and a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy. After a brief stint traveling and exploring the world, she landed back in the bay area where she would gaze longingly at the Santa Cruz town outline. She and her dog, Maggie, are privileged to be members of the Santa Cruz community. Cilla is a marathoner, triathlete, adventure addict, and is training for her first Ironman. Maggie continues to look at Cilla like she's crazy.

Bruce

Bruce joined the Running Revolution team in 2006 and is a graduate of San Diego State. He is currently training to increase his speed and learning to avoid injuries. Some things have become synonymous with running: Bill Bowerman's Tyrolean hat; Paula Radcliffe's nose strip and head bob; and now, Bruce's green sport headphones. He dreams of being the first runner sponsored by Diet Coke, iPod nano, Hang Ten, and PING Golf.

Kalyne

My running career began by pushing my colicky baby in a jogging stroller 5 years ago, and little did I know that I would fall in love with the sport and consider it an integral part of my life. I have run 10Ks, half-marathons and marathons and look forward to dotting my calendar each year with many more. I love being a part of the amazing Santa Cruz running community and you can catch me on the trails at Nisene Marks, Pogonip or Wilder almost any day of the week.

Laura

Laura, a Santa Cruz middle school teacher, has been competing in triathlon and running events for the past five years. She has won two age group World Championship titles, an Amateur European Championship Title, and an Amateur National Championship title in Xterra Off-road Triathlon.
