Store Staff
An Interview with Jonathan Crouch
Q: Where are you from? Where did you go to school? I hail from the township of Jacksonville, FL and went to the scholarly Bishop Kenny.
Q: How long have you been working at 1st Place Sports? Which store do you work at most of the time? I have been working at 1st Place Sports for three years, and I do not have a store, I am what we like to call the store rover. I can âpop-upâ at any one of our four locations.
Q: How long have you been running? What running experience do you have? Do you have any personal records or accomplishments you would like to share? I have been running for about 10 years. I used to excel in the sport in high school where I set the school record in the 4 x 800m relay, and earned all-state honors both my junior and senior year in cross country. I also helped lead our cross team to two state titles my senior and junior year.
Q: What is your favorite distance to run? Do you have a favorite race? Where is your favorite place to run? What is your favorite workout? My favorite race to run has to be either the 800m or 1 mile. Both of these two races are purely gut races and its fun to see who has the most âcahones.â My favorite race however is the Gate River Run. I love to run along the Boardwalk and throughout beautiful San marco. My favorite workout is 40 x 200 all at 32 or faster 20 at a time with a 30 sec rest between 200s and 2 min recovery between sets.
Q: What advice would you give to runners? The best advice I can give to a runner is listen to your body.
Q: What do you like to do in your free time? In my free time I like to go to Jaguar games, go for long walks on the beach⦠with my dog, and I like to watch movies and not critique them, just watch and get lost in the story.
