If I ever open my running store and I end up stealing the name you suggested, mention it and I'll give you a free pair of shoes... : )

I don't have a brilliant name for you (yet), but the Running Network has a list of all or most US running stores by state:
http://www.runningnetwork.com/stores/

Mostly pretty dull names... You can do better, no doubt, with this group's help!

Will your store be in the SF Bay Area? A word-play on the location is a possibility.

'Dreams in the heart'.

Yes, I know it is obscure, but it is what I would call MY running store if I ever opened one.

It is the back end of a famnous Emile Zatopek quote: "A runner must run with dreams in his heart".

It's also the slogan on the sticker we send to new users. (I work for Enthusiast Group, which runs this site.)

My suggestion:
The Human Stampede

And a suggestion along the lines of looking at store names: Look at the names of races and running clubs for more ideas.
And of course, go to the thesaurus.
Here's a word list I came up with in a couple minutes:

canter
dash
escape
flee
flight
gallop
hotfoot
hie
jog
lope
pace
race
roll
rush
scamper
speed
sprint
stampede
stride
tear
trot
whiz

harrier

scramble
skedaddle
travel

leg
foot
pedestrian
sole
bunion
derby

motion
movement

flow
path
trail
road

float
stomp
pronate (pronation)
supinate (supination)

hare
tortoise

character
endure
endurance
stamina
courage
fortitude
grit
guts
gutsiness
heart
intestinal fortitude
mettle
moxie
perseverance
persistence
pertinacity
pluck
resolution
spunk
stamina
strength
tenacity
vitality
will
