If you’ve been following this blog for the past few months, you’re probably aware that I’ve developed a deep interest in the topic of running form, and have spent a good amount of time working to modify my own form to a shorter, quicker stride with a midfoot landing. Well, after a long process and […]

Vibram Fivefingers Bikila Review Part 2: Additional Thoughts on Bikila Running
July 17, 2010 By 31 Comments
I’ve been dealing with a familiar burning sensation in my calf muscles this week (primarily the lower calf, or soleus muscle). I thought that I had outgrown this due to my regular running in minimalist shoes, but after 15 miles in the heat on Sunday, followed by 3.1 miles in my Vibram Fivefingers Bikilas on […]
Heel-Toe Drop or Offset: What Does it Mean in a Running Shoe?
June 7, 2010 By 50 Comments
The recent explosion of interest in minimalist running shoes has brought along with it an interest in specific shoe design features that probably rarely crossed the mind of most runners just a year ago (before the publication of Born to Run by Christopher McDougall got people thinking about these kind of things). One of these […]
Review of SportTracks for Garmin Forerunner GPS Watches: Great Free Program for Downloading Garmin Data
March 7, 2010 By 21 Comments
I’m a huge fan of the Garmin Forerunner GPS watches (see my review of the Garmin Forerunner 205/305 here), and I get a lot of questions about how I access and manage data collected by these devices. I made a decision early on based upon research done on-line to use a program called SportTracks instead […]
Climbing Mt. Monadnock with the Kids
June 8, 2009 By 5 Comments
My wife and I love to camp, and until we had kids, we were avid hikers. We once spent six weeks driving across the country from campsite to campsite, and were able to visit 15+ national parks. We lived in the Great Smoky Mountains for a summer, working on field crews doing animal surveys (salamanders […]
Tuning Out: Why I Canceled My Expanded Basic Cable TV Service
April 25, 2009 By 2 Comments
And now a short break from my recent stream of running/evolution posts… If you’re like me, you’re probably appalled by how much you shell out each month to your cable television provider. If you take a moment to consider what you get in return for your money, and the number of unwatched channels streamed to […]
New Shoe Roundup: Mountain Running Shoes Coming in 2016
January 11, 2016 By 7 Comments
Back in early August I had the fantastic opportunity to go to the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City for the first time and check out the new shoes that are coming out late winter/early spring. Below are the mountain running shoes I had the opportunity to see at the show. Of note, Outdoor […]
adidas Response Trail Boost Review
September 2, 2015 By 14 Comments
When I first saw the new Boost trail shoes that were set to release this summer, I automatically assumed the XT Boost would be my favorite and the Raven Boost would be an interesting option for longer outings. I really thought the Response Trail Boost would not run well and wasn’t that interested other than […]
New Balance 1400 v3 Review: Great Update to a Great Shoe
August 24, 2015 By 41 Comments
Sometimes a small update is all that is needed to make a near-perfect running shoe better. Such is the case with the New Balance 1400 v3. Version 2 of the 1400 was one of my all-time favorite shoes. It was lightweight, simple in construction, and had my desired ride combo of a soft heel and […]
Montrail FluidFlex II Trail Shoe Review
January 27, 2015 By 6 Comments
by Carsten Hoever As a European running shoe geek you sometimes have to gamble. Some shoes only make it to Europe months after their release in the US, and some shoes never officially make it over the big pond. While it is usually not difficult to find a retailer willing to ship the shoe of […]
New Balance Fresh Foam Zante Review: A Better Fresh Foam
December 3, 2014 By 37 Comments
Earlier this year I reviewed the New Balance Fresh Foam 980. It was an interesting shoe in that it was far more responsive than the marketing associated with the shoe would have suggested. The 980 was firm, not soft and foamy, and I liked the ride. Unfortunately it suffered from a cramped toebox that left […]
Hoka Clifton Running Shoe Review
September 8, 2014 By 28 Comments
One of the great things about the running shoe market right now is that there is a huge diversity of footwear options available. From minimal to maximal, and everything in between, there is most likely something out there that will meet your personal preferences/needs. As a more minimally oriented runner, I’ve held off for a […]
Nike Free 5.0 2014: A No-Go For Me
April 4, 2014 By 33 Comments
Update 5/18/2015: Nike has fixed the issue I had with this shoe in the newest version – view my review of the 2015 Nike Free 5.0 here. When you’re in the business of writing about running shoes, it pays to be quick about sharing thoughts on new shoe releases, particularly when the release involves one […]
Shorts Or No Shorts Over Running Tights – A Post on Winter Running
December 19, 2013 By 144 Comments
We’re all friends here right? Ok, so I’m going to cover a sensitive topic in this post (pun intended). Hold on tight! On Tuesday I went for a run in a snowstorm. The flakes were coming down pretty steadily, the roads and sidewalks were completely snow-covered, and the temperature when I left was 13 degrees […]
Running Gear: Garmin Forerunner 310 XT
My Garmin Forerunner 205 is probably my favorite and most essential piece of running equipment (read my detailed review of the Forerunner 205 here). It was therefore with some excitement that I discovered that Garmin was releasing a new Forerunner, called the Forerunner 310XT (credit due to http://www.innoland.it/) – here’s what it looks like: As […]
