I ran over 10 years without missing a day, averaging close to 15 miles,” Parker toldin 2017. “I loved being able to run a long distance and get that feeling of strength and exhilaration from being in good shape. There was a meditative quality about it. Almost effortlessness. That’s a special feeling.”
“It seems like Mark is just moving into a new capacity,” Terry Schalow, executive director of the Running Industry Association told. “I think he wants some fresh ideas that will move the company forward and wants to take on a new challenge with someone he is confident in with John.”“I didn’t think Mark was going to go on forever, but I thought it would be more like 2021,” Matt Powell, a sports industry analyst from The NPD Group told.
