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 […]
Saucony Ride 7 Running Shoe Review
October 27, 2014 By 6 Comments
By Tyler Mathews One of the first reviews that I wrote here on Runblogger was for the Saucony Ride 6. I liked that shoe because it gave me a tool to use in training that I didn’t have to think much about. It was basic in almost every way – basic cushion, basic ride, basic […]
Skechers GoRun 4 Review: A Great Update
October 23, 2014 By 113 Comments
I first ran in a prototype of the Skechers GoRun 4 on a cold, slushy day earlier this year. I’d heard hints that the shoe was substantially changed from previous versions, but didn’t know much beyond that (I had heard that it was more Kinvara-like than previous versions, no complaints here with that comparison!). Upon […]
Newton Kismet Running Shoe Review
October 14, 2014 By 34 Comments
Newton made a bit of a splash this year with the release of a bunch of new shoe models built on their new 5-lug forefoot platform. If you’re not familiar with Newton’s lug system, it’s basically a set of raised, elongated lugs under the forefoot of the shoe that are intended to help cushion the […]

The Achilles tendon is a large tendon that attaches the calf musculature to the calcaneus at the back of the foot. When it comes to running injuries, those that affect the Achilles Tendon injuries are troublesome in that they can be chronic and difficult to treat. One of the first steps taken in the treatment […]
Brooks Ghost 7 Running Shoe Review
October 6, 2014 By 16 Comments
Lately I’ve been branching out a bit in my review shoe choices in order to get a better feel for the differences among the various types of shoes that exist in today’s footwear market. A few weeks ago I reviewed the Hoka Clifton (the Hoka Huaka worked out a bit better), a lightweight yet super-cushy shoe, […]
This Week in Runblogging: September 29 to October 5 2014
October 5, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Last week I took a look at the Hoka Huaka. It was my second experience in a Hoka shoe (I reviewed the Hoka Clifton a few weeks ago), and this one was a better match for my stride. Compared to the Clifton, the Huaka provides a firmer, more responsive ride with a less rockered sole. […]
Garmin Forerunner 620 – Some Fun With Running Dynamics Data
October 2, 2014 By 15 Comments
I’ve been working on a long overdue review of the Garmin Forerunner 620 – it’s been a tricky GPS watch to review because it does so much, but also because I’ve had some issues with it. One of my original reasons for buying the 620 was that I was interested in the ability to record […]
