Like most people in the US I’ve been dealing with heat acclimation over the past several weeks. My runs have felt sluggish, my heart rate has been elevated way above what it should be for my level of effort, and running beyond 3 miles in 90+ degree heat saps me. The problem is that I […]

Running Shoes and Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS): One Runner’s Story
March 30, 2012 By 103 Comments
A few weeks ago I received an email from a reader named Adam Krueger asking me if it was possible that a simple change in footwear from a stability shoe to a neutral trainer could essentially cure a fairly long-term bout with iliotibial band syndrome virtually overnight. This had been Adam’s experience, and he was […]

December 12, 2011 By 10 Comments
Found this video via the British Journal of Sports Medicine blog the other day and thought I’d share here as well. Dr. Mike Evans provides a very creative answer to the following question: “What is the single best thing we can do for our health.”
More On Running Cadence: Comparative Data from Amby Burfoot and Alex Hutchinson
September 16, 2011 By 27 Comments
In my previous post I provided some data on how my own stride rate and stride length vary with running speed. In that post I referenced another article on running cadence by Alex Hutchinson – I sent Alex my data, and he went ahead and added it to a graph that he had compiled showing […]
Metatarsal Stress Fractures in Minimalist Runners: What Are the Causes?
July 19, 2011 By 53 Comments
Image via Wikipedia One of the big topics of discussion swirling around minimalist running shoes right now is whether they increase the likelihood that a runner might experience a stress fracture. Clearly, fractures of the 2nd metatarsal are occurring in individuals who give minimalist running a try (for example, check out this great post by […]
Americans Are Fat and Getting Fatter: The Depressing Details of the 2011 “F as in Fat” Report
July 8, 2011 By 22 Comments
Image via Wikipedia I spend a lot of time writing about topics like running shoes and running form here on Runblogger.

Slow Motion Gait Analysis – You Be The PT Part II
April 15, 2011 By 150 Comments
Ten days ago I posted a series of videos of my friend Lauren running on a treadmill in slow motion. As I indicated in that post, Lauren is a very strong runner, but has been dealing with intermittent, debilitating bouts of ITBS in her left leg for many years. In the comments to that post […]
Altra Instinct Running Shoe Review: Zero Drop, Foot Shaped, and Cushioned
March 30, 2011 By 78 Comments
“The human foot is not to be regarded, as seems almost to be the idea with many, as an incoordinating mass of flesh, bone and gristle which may with impunity be crowded into almost any sort of protective covering to form a fleshy peg, more or less similar to a horse’s hoof, on which to […]
Merrell Barefoot Trail Glove Review: Another Great Zero Drop Running Shoe Option
February 27, 2011 By 80 Comments
I’ve written frequently here on Runblogger about my affinity for the Vibram Fivefingers shoes. I currently have three pairs (VFF Bikila, KSO, and Trek Sport), and find them to be great tools for both form work and leg/foot strengthening workouts (I’m not a full-time zero drop runner). Until recently, the Vibrams were really the only […]

Shoe Reviews: Mizuno Wave Universe and Mizuno Wave Ronin
December 1, 2010 By 35 Comments
I’m going to do something of a departure from my norm here and review two shoes in a single post. My reason for opting to do this is twofold: 1. both pairs of shoes were provided to me by the same manufacturer at the same time (disclosure – these we both test samples provided free […]
Running With a Leg Length Discrepancy: Help A Fellow Runner
September 29, 2010 By 35 Comments
I get quite a few questions about running shoes and running gait via e-mail, some of which I can answer, others which I cannot. I try to be open and honest about my limitations in answering questions, and if a question extends beyond my range of knowledge or experience, I will say so. Such was […]
Changing Running Form – My Journey to the Midfoot
September 24, 2010 By 88 Comments
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 […]

August 21, 2010 By 21 Comments
The minimalist running movement appears to be gaining steam at a rapid rate these days. Word is that the topic of minimalism was all over the place at the recent Outdoor Retailers Show in Utah, and more and more manufacturers are jumping into the fray with their own minimalist offerings. Even some of the big […]
New Balance MRC1600 Racing Flat Review
November 19, 2012 By 18 Comments
A bit over a year ago I wrote a post on the somewhat complex relationship between running shoe midsoles, ground surface properties, muscle tuning, and limb stiffness (read the muscle tuning-limb stiffness post here).
