Our Story
RunReady is the running health brand built on clinical precision, product expertise, and smart technology to help runners move better, improve performance, and avoid injury.
- —It was created to reinvent how people run, not just by selling better footwear or offering traditional physiotherapy, but by addressing the real gaps holding runners back.
- —Too many runners were sidelined by pain, stuck in the wrong shoes, or unsure how to move better for running.
- —So our founders came together with firsthand experience from every angle: a physio who helped thousands through advanced running assessments and movement expertise, a lifelong runner who built a top-tier run specialty shop grounded in education and product, and a tech founder who knew how to connect it all through smart technology.
- —Together, they built a new kind of running brand designed to help every runner go longer, faster, and stay in control. Our goal is simple: keep runners running. Smarter, stronger, and injury-free.
