Nike has long touted the design of their Free line of running shoes as having been inspired by barefoot running. Indeed, the newest Free shoes have the phrase “Barefoot Ride” written right on the insole (see photo at left). Personally, I’m a fan of the Frees since they suit my preference for light, flexible, moderately […]

Nike Pegasus vs. Nike Free 3.0: Does a Moderately Cushioned Shoe Encourage Barefoot-Like Biomechanics?

Does Stability vs. Neutral Categorization Influence Whether I’ll Try a Given Running Shoe?
March 18, 2015 By 22 Comments
I recently mentioned in a blog post that I had purchased a pair of New Balance 1500 running shoes. The 1500s are a lightweight trainer/distance racing shoe that looked like a good match for my personal taste in running footwear. I’ve since received a few questions about whether I was concerned that the shoe had […]
Pearl Izumi EM Road N0 Racing Flat Review
April 7, 2014 By 46 Comments
I love the Pearl Izumi EM Road N0. Let me say that again. I love the Pearl Izumi EM Road N0. Not since the Saucony Grid Type A5 have I had such a positive experience with a running shoe. The reason? Because this shoe replicates the fit and ride of the A5 better than any […]
Saucony Grid Type A5 Running Shoe Review: A Phenomenal Racing Flat!
September 17, 2012 By 94 Comments
I think I’m in love. It’s pretty rare for me to put more than 50 miles on a single shoe in one month given the number of reviews that I’m working on at any given time, but since mid-August I’ve run almost exclusively in two shoes: the adidas Gazelle and the Saucony Grid Type A5. […]
Introducing My Book: Tread Lightly: Form, Footwear and the Quest for Injury-Free Running
April 22, 2012 By 52 Comments
About 16 months ago I received an email from a guy named Bill Katovsky asking me if I had any interest in writing a book. I didn’t know him at the time, but I had at least given thought to the idea of writing something more than another blog post. We spoke on the phone […]
2011 Minimalist and Barefoot Style Running Shoe Preview on the dailymile Blog
January 12, 2011 By 8 Comments
Quick post – just wanted to pass along a link to a post I published yesterday on the dailymile Community Blog that featured a preview of some of the minimalist and barefoot style running shoes set to be released in the next few months. It’s a very superficial overview of shoes from Altra, Merrell, New […]
Saucony Freedom ISO Review: A Durable Workhorse of a Shoe
July 19, 2017 By 9 Comments
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 […]
Finding a Runner’s High in Maine
August 18, 2014 By 9 Comments
The “Runner’s High” is an elusive thing. I sometimes think that non-runners believe that we all go out there in search of the high on every run. That running is some kind of addiction. Maybe it is, but I can honestly say that in the seven years that I’ve been running with purpose I’ve felt […]
How to Auto-Sync Strava With Garmin Connect
August 6, 2014 By 29 Comments
I’m kind of on-again, off-again with use of social training websites. I’m a long-time user of dailymile.com, but have periods when I lapse simply due to the fact that I need to manually enter my workouts if I’m recording them with my Garmin 620 (I can’t get the 620 to sync with dailymile). Manual entry […]
Saucony Kinvara 5: Forty Mile Update
May 19, 2014 By 62 Comments
A few weeks ago I published a first impression review of the Saucony Kinvara 5 after taking them out for an initial 11 mile run. I’ve now run a bit over 40 miles total on the shoes, and I just returned from a 14 mile run in them earlier today. I though I’d share a […]
Movement Signature of the Gravity Intolerant Runner – The Importance of Swing Phase
December 9, 2013 By 40 Comments
This is a guest post by Dr. Jeff Moreno, DPT A common observation in the world of running is the runner that overstrides. I think whether you are in the world of research, or treating runners full-time in a clinical setting, we can all agree that overstriding is suboptimal. We all understand the potential physical […]
My Problem With the adidas Boost Marketing Approach
February 14, 2013 By 59 Comments
Time for a bit of a rant, hold on tight. My Wednesday mornings are typically reserved for Daddy-dates with my 2-year-old son. Sometimes we hang out and play trucks, sometimes we go out on an adventure. Today we decided to hit what he likes to call “the gym” (it’s a gymnastics training center that doubles […]
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 […]
Foot Strike Patterns During Barefoot and Minimally Shod Running in Hadza Hunter-Gatherers
April 7, 2015 By 6 Comments
Yesterday I wrote a post about a study that examined foot strike patterns in Tarahumara Native Americans from Mexico. That study found that Tarahumara who habitually wear and run in minimal huarache sandals exhibit a mixture of foot strike types (40% midfoot, 30% forefoot, 30% heel), whereas Tarahumara who habitually wear and run in conventional […]
