Running Shoes, Gear Reviews, and Posts on the Science of the Sport
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about how my running suffered with my return to teaching. I didn’t put in many miles during the school year, but my goal for the summer was to get myself back into some semblance of running shape. I’m happy to say that I have made considerable progress […]
As I wrote in my previous post, I didn’t run much during the school year. I also didn’t write much – this will be my first shoe review in about a year, and the first since I returned to teaching (a very positive move for me!). Although my mileage was low, and my speed was […]
This morning I ran five miles at a pace of just over 8:00 per mile, then finished with a mile or so of hill repeats. A few years ago this would have been a pretty standard type of workout for me, but on this day it was a big step forward to feeling like a […]
A quick post to highlight some great well cushioned trail shoes for this Spring. Unlike the last few roundups, I’m not going to organized them into order of favorites because they are all quite good in their own way, but instead ordered them from the highest cushioning to the lowest cushioning of the group. I’ll try […]
It is already feeling like spring in many parts of the US, but if you live near mountains and like to go up into them from now until May/June, you are likely to encounter some snow still and otherwise harder conditions than ideal for the average trail shoe. I’ve put a handful of winter trail […]
The original Helios came out in 2013 and used the concept of La Sportivas Vertical K shoe but in a more traditional package. Essentially the Helios 2.0 and SR remain fairly unchanged at their core compared to the original. Some upper modifications and rubber compound changes being the most notable. Because the SR and 2.0 are […]
Yes, unfortunately it is now February and a best of 2016 post is old news, but better late than never. While things were a little lighter on the blogging front for me, I still had a full year of running, racing, and got to try out tons of new shoes and gear in the process. […]
Erin Larson writes about finding balance in our everyday lives at KaleandHops.com. In this post she shares why sometimes it’s OK not to run. It’s OK not to run. This seems like a strange post to publish on a running blog, but it’s taken me a long time to figure this out and I need […]
In an effort to consolidate the vast amount of shoes I’ve been able to try in the last 3-4 months, I’m going to group shoes into a couple categories and give brief reviews on each of them. I’m still planning on doing in depth reviews on shoes as well (and have a few shoes already […]
