Chris Baker

Founder & Owner

Isabella and I have been married for twelve years - together we are raising three kids and building Second Wind R.C. Our dream is to build a thriving store centered around movement, recovery, and community connection. I have been running since high school and worked as an investor before starting Second Wind R.C. My favorite race distance is the marathon.

Why do you run? To find new limits. Experience nature. And meet amazing people.

Favorite running moment: Setting a new marathon PR in 2024 after an injury setback.

Chris and I have been married for twelve years - together we are raising three kids and building Second Wind R.C. Our dream is to build a thriving store centered around movement, recovery, and community connection. Growing up in Colombia I did not run much, but Chris introduced me to the sport in college. I like numbers and drawing.

Why do you run? To stay healthy. Get outside. And bond as a family.

Favorite running moment: Any run with our kids!

I (literally) grew up in a running store - I have helped my parents serve customers at RunGr8 in Riverton since I was six years old. I am currently in private aviation school and studying to become a commercial pilot. My favorite sports are running, golf and hockey.

Why do you run? To try out all the awesome new shoes that come through our shop.

Kristin Jeffs

Sale Floor Associate

Born and raised in Virginia, I moved out west for college and have been here ever since. I love spending time with my family, helping customers train for races, and cheering them on at the finish line. I am a passionate runner myself - I have completed seven marathons, one ultra, and countless half marathons, 10Ks and 5Ks along the way.

Why do you run? To stay in shape

Favorite running moment: Watching my dog Raya chase deer and wild turkey on our town trails.
