In an effort to consolidate the vast amount of shoes I’ve been able to try in the last 4-6 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 […]

2016 Black Friday and Cyber Monday Running Shoe and Gear Deals
November 24, 2016 By Leave a Comment
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 some time 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 […]
New Balance Zante 2 Review: Solid Sequel to a Great Shoe
August 14, 2016 By 3 Comments
It’s been a long time since I’ve put over 100 miles on a pair of shoes. I’m not entirely sure that I exceeded that with the New Balance Zante 2 (I don’t track miles on shoes anymore), but since I’ve run most of my miles for the past several months in them, I’d have to […]
Saucony Peregrine 6 Review: Interesting Update That Needs Some Refinement
August 14, 2016 By 7 Comments
While I wouldn’t say I have a long history with the Peregrine line (I’ve never really taken to the shoes), I have run in versions 1, 2, 5 and 6, so I have some sense of the evolution of the shoe. Overall, I feel that it has improved over time. Saucony overhauled the Peregrine for 2016 […]
On Blogging: Why I Hate My Email Inbox
July 1, 2016 By 9 Comments
I hate to admit this, but for the past 9 months I have largely ignored my blog’s email inbox. The reason was mostly due to the fact that I have returned to teaching, and free time during the school year to attend to the blog was minimal. I apologize if you have sent me a […]
Saucony Kinvara 7 Review
June 29, 2016 By 15 Comments
The Saucony Kinvara has long been a top option for me among low-drop, lightweight training shoes. I’ve run marathons in the Kinvara, and have had positive experiences with most iterations of the shoe that have come out. Since the arrival of the Kinvara 7 a few months ago, I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions […]

Just watched this earlier today – entertaining, but also kind of a depressing look at doping in elite athletes.
Old Tech That Works: Four Running-Fitness Gadgets That Have Stood the Test of Time
June 26, 2016 By 10 Comments
Last week I thought that my Garmin Vivofit (original model) activity tracker was dead. I had replaced the batteries, but they died within a week, and another set did the same. It turns out it was the batteries that were bad – teaches me to buy cheap from Amazon – and a fresh set from […]
Skechers GOtrail Ultra 3: Max Cushion Done Right
June 23, 2016 By 32 Comments
For any of you who have followed Runblogger for a while, you know that I haven’t been crazy about very many max-cushioned shoes. This is not to say that I am closed off to the idea. Despite starting from a more minimalist framework in my running years ago, I continue to try to be open […]
Topo MT-2 and Hydroventure: Large Refinements in Topo’s Trail Line
June 22, 2016 By 7 Comments
I’ve running in Topo’s shoe offerings since the inception of the brand. My general experience has been good, with an appreciation for the concepts they were trying to get across and the approach they took. However, the execution felt just a little lacking, with some materials not as refined, and the ride not very notable. […]
