Padova running group

We are living near a running store owned by a world class marathoner. Naturally, I'm excited about the possibility of training with him. We'll see if I can make it happen. We happened upon the store on a walk yesterday--it's a little store next to a laudromat a few blocks from the Prato. We saw posters of the guy on the wall and the clerk told us he was the boss. She also mentioned there was a running group that left from the storeTuesdays and Saturdays. My wife and I were hoping we would discover such a group in Padova. I ran with the group this morning and it was a disappointment. The olympian wasn't there.
