Each year around this time I put up a post containing a collection of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale links. Basically what I do is spend several hours scouring the web for running-related holiday sales, and aggregate them all into a single post – kind of a one-stop shop for runners looking for discounted shoes and […]

Catching Kayla: Great Story via ESPN
November 24, 2014 By 15 Comments
Last week an ESPN video was circulating around the web that featured high school runner Kayla Montgomery. It’s an amazing video, and the only thing I’m going to say about it is that if you haven’t already, you need to watch it. You can do so below:
Nike Zoom Terra Kiger 2: A Fantastic Update
November 19, 2014 By 14 Comments
It hasn’t been that long since I first wrote about the original Nike Zoom Terra Kiger in my June review. I was pleasantly surprised by the shoe and found it very nice for smoother trails, and even mixed runs as the shoe ran quite well on pavement. Only a short while after my review I […]
Can Rocker Soled Shoes Benefit Runners With Forefoot Pain?
November 18, 2014 By 17 Comments
A little over a year ago I wrote a few posts (here and here) detailing how my wife managed to overcome pain caused by a neuroma in her right foot by running in Hoka shoes. The Hokas seemed to do the trick pretty quickly, and I’ve since heard anecdotes from others who seem to have […]
On The Cloud Running Shoe Review
November 17, 2014 By 8 Comments
I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting to like these shoes. My previous experience with an ON shoe was the original Cloudracer, and my impression was that to take advantage of the cushioning provided by podded sole design you needed to land with a pronounced heel strike. Otherwise the shoes felt very firm (not […]

Another Example of a Garmin Forerunner 620 Tracking Problem
November 10, 2014 By 33 Comments
Several months ago I wrote a post in which I discussed GPS accuracy issues I’ve experienced with my Garmin Forerunner 620. Though on the whole I like the watch, I still experience episodes where it seems to flip out and lose track of real-time pace and/or the correct track. This often manifests as the watch […]

Skora Fit Review: The Shoe I Wanted To Love
November 3, 2014 By 38 Comments
by Bryan Wyatt This is my first post on Runblogger, so before I get to my review, I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself. Introduction I’ve been running more or less since 1995, when I decided to run Cross Country in High School. I picked up Track almost as an afterthought. By the time […]
