Asher's Favorite Things

By Asher Johnson

Terra is at first look a runner’s store, alike to many other running stores all across the world. In Cleveland and the surrounding, however, it is the only one of its kind. Underneath the façade of specialty running and athletic wear, and at its heart, Terra Running Company is much more than a store. It is a player in the substance of society and a building block in Cleveland’s culture. Terra has a love for the people and community it serves. This is my favorite thing about Terra. This underlying purpose, service to the community it loves, guides Terra Running Company’s interactions with customers and lays a solid foundation for any of the endeavors and activities we intend to make. 

First and foremost, this is what I love about Terra. Likewise, it offers great products too. Working here gives me the bonus of learning a lot about the qualities of our products. My favorite shoe is the Brooks Levitate 4. I typically run in the Altra Escalante or Altra Vanquish; however, the Brooks Levitate provides a fun boost for an enjoyable speedy 5k. I also really like the Fjallraven Kanken backpacks. They are trendy, but mine has turned out to be pretty durable. I often value style over comfort, but I get both with my Goodr glasses. Without Terra Running Company, I may have never even discovered the brand. Goodrs fit snugly and grip well. I’ve never had one break or become scratched. I really like the circular ones… too bad these sell the fastest. 

These three items are some of my favorites, but like I said, the products would be bland without the vision and community of Terra Running Company.
