New Balance took the next step in their slow buildup to the release of their Minimus line of shoes yesterday by posting high resolution images of each shoe in the lineup (the NB Minimus Trail, Road, and Walking/Wellness). The marketing approach they are taking with these shoes is unlike anything I have seen before, which […]

Nike ACG Sneakerboat II – First Impressions
May 23, 2010 By 3 Comments
A few days ago I wrote a post about a new shoe that Nike had released called the Nike Sneakerboat II. It’s basically a water shoe/aqua sock that I thought looked like it might have some potential as a minimalist running shoe. Well, I went ahead and bought a pair of Sneakerboat II’s (only cost […]
Nike Sneakerboat II: Potential Minimalist Running Shoe from Nike?
May 16, 2010 By 11 Comments
A few months ago I was reading through a thread on the Runner’s World Barefoot Running Forum about a pair of water shoes called the Nike Sneakerboat. I’ve seen water shoes/aqua socks suggested many times as a cheap form of minimalist running shoe (and a minimalist shoe should by definition be inexpensive if there’s less […]
Kids Running Barefoot: Lessons from the Pros
September 20, 2009 By 15 Comments
I’m fortunate that my line of work allows me to purchase gadgets that let me do some pretty cool things. This year, I have seven research students who will be working with me, and several of them are very interested in studying the mechanics of running and cycling. With the allotment of research funding provided […]
The 2009 Badwater Ultramarathon (with video)
July 17, 2009 By 4 Comments
Image via Wikipedia The 32nd Badwater Ultramarathon, presented by AdventureCORPS Inc., was run from July 13-15 2009. Although I have never run an ultramarathon, I find this race to be particularly compelling for a number of reasons. For one, the race is insanely difficult. Touted as “the world’s toughest foot race,” the course is described […]
Book Review: Death By Food Pyramid by Denise Minger
June 3, 2014 By 16 Comments
I started reading Death by Food Pyramid : How Shoddy Science, Sketchy Politics and Shady Special Interests Have Ruined Our Health by Denise Minger several months ago (Minger writes the Raw Food SOS blog). I was cruising along, really enjoying the book, when I made the mistake of watching the first season of Game of […]
Brooks PureConnect 3 Review
February 10, 2014 By 30 Comments
When Brooks first announced their PureProject line of shoes back in 2011, I expected that the PureConnect would be my favorite shoe in the collection. It was the lightest of the bunch, and was billed as the maximal “feel” shoe among it’s PureProject brethren. I ordered a pair of the original PureConnects as soon as […]
You Be The Gait Analyst: Analyze Sam’s Running Form
November 7, 2013 By 23 Comments
If you’ve followed this blog over the past six months you’ll know that I resigned from a 10-year career as a college professor back in May. Aside from my desire to pursue this blog on a more full-time basis, a second big motivator for leaving academia was that I had an offer to work out […]
Timex Run Trainer 2.0 GPS Watch Review: A Much Improved Update!
September 13, 2013 By 9 Comments
My day-to-day GPS watch for tracking workouts right now is the Garmin Forerunner 610 (still need to review it!). Previous to that, I was a longtime user of a Garmin Forerunner 205. I’m starting this review with this information so that you have an idea of where I am coming from in my opinions – […]
Runner’s World on Running Form
May 6, 2011 By 15 Comments
In case you aren’t a subscriber, I wanted to mention that the June edition of Runner’s World (currently on newsstands) includes an article by Peter Vigneron titled “Does Form Matter.” I wanted to thank Peter for including me and my buddy Harry Hollines (the barefoot runner) in the article, and I have to say it […]
Review of Ipod Nano 5th Generation: Great Tool for Podcasting and Shooting Videos on the Run
March 4, 2010 By 4 Comments
Last Christmas Santa Claus fulfilled my major gift request by bringing me a new 5th generation Ipod Nano to replace my old 2nd generation model. My Nano 2G had served me well for over two years, but it suffered a touchpad malfunction from an excess of sweat damage due to 1500+ miles of use on […]
Mountain Running Shoe Review Round-Up: Scarpa Atom, Salming Elements, inov-8 Arctic Claw 300, Salewa Lite Train, adidas Terrex Agravic
December 16, 2016 By Leave a Comment
In an effort to consolidate the vast amount of shoes I’ve been able to try in the last 3-4 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 […]
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 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 […]
The Evolution of Running in Humans: Why We Are Meant to Run
If you’ve been running for any length of time, you’ve probably received derisive comments and odd looks from friends/family regarding your running habit. “You’re going to ruin your knees” is a common one, “humans aren’t built to run long distances” is another. Well, I have news for these people – their scornful comments couldn’t be […]
