MEET THE FOUNDER
Our signature product
I’m Jonathan, the founder of Runner’s Room LA and AMOP (At My Own Pace). Running has been part of my life for more than 15 years, and I wanted to share that experience in a way that makes the sport feel more welcoming and less intimidating.
I started AMOP as a running community in 2024 to bring people together through running, and it has since blossomed into a brand, mantra, and lifestyle with a simple belief: you can move at your own pace and still belong.
Runner’s Room grew from that same idea. I wanted to create a space where you could try specialty running shoes, ask questions, learn, connect, and find a community to share the miles with.
Whether you’re taking your first steps, preparing for your next race, or looking for comfortable shoes for everyday life, you’re welcome here.
Built from experience. Built for community. Built for runners.
