In early November I wrote a post in which I recommended gear for running at night, and one of the items I discussed was the (original) Petzl Tikka Plus 4-LED headlamp (there is a newer single-LED Petzl Tikka Plus 2 out now that is rated a bit brighter). The Tikka Plus is a nice, inexpensive, […]

Confessions of a Running Shoe Polygamist
November 20, 2009 By 11 Comments
Image via Wikipedia This is a post about love, passion, and the deep and often complex relationships that we runners develop with … our shoes. These relationships come in many forms – some of us are monogamous, choosing a single shoe and sticking with it through the years despite updates and new models. Some of […]
Brooks Launch Review: First Impressions
November 17, 2009 By 17 Comments
Having committed to the Brooks I.D. sponsored runner program for 2010, I needed to break in some Brooks running shoes in preparation for the Disney Marathon on January 10th, which will be my first race of the new year. I’d been reading rave reviews of the Brooks Launch for several weeks on Dailymile from the […]
Running for Weight Loss – Stories of Personal Transformation
October 25, 2009 By 12 Comments
We all have our reasons for why we started to run. For some of us, it’s the personal challenge of trying to accomplish a goal as seemingly impossible as completing a chosen race, whether it be as small scale as a local 5k or as large scale as a marathon. For some of us, the […]
Analyzing My Running Footstrike: Fun With High-Speed Video
September 26, 2009 By 5 Comments
Several days ago I posted about a new high-speed video camera that I recently purchased for my research lab. The Casio Exilim EX-F1 is an amazing piece of technology, allowing us to record extremely quick events at high-frame rates (as many as 1200 frames per second), and it is already proving itself worthy as a […]

Race Report: Cigna Elliot Corporate 5k (2009)
August 14, 2009 By 4 Comments
I generally enter races with both an A goal and a B goal. The A goal is the one that I try to keep to myself, my “dream” goal if you will. My B goal is the time that I think I can realistically beat and still be satisfied with the effort. Only on rare […]
Running With Dogs – Tips from a Dog Runner
July 7, 2009 By 15 Comments
I’ve written a few posts recently (here and here) about running with my 2-year-old black lab named Jack (his classic “take me for a run!” look can be seen in the picture to the left). This has gotten me thinking about the general topic of running with dogs, so I hopped onto Google and began […]
Running Blisters: Horrific Footage from "The Distance of Truth"
June 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Over the past few weeks I’ve been dealing with the fallout from some nasty foot blisters resulting from running the Vermont City Marathon in the rain (see my blister photo if you dare). I thought I had it bad, then I watched this YouTube video of Ferg Hawke’s feet after his running of the Badwater […]
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 […]
Race Volunteering: Giving Something Back
May 21, 2009 By 4 Comments
A few weeks ago, one of the heads of my local running club sent out a request for volunteers to help out with a local 5k race. This isn’t just any race – it’s the biggest road race annually in NH (~6000 runners), and it happens to take place in my hometown of Concord. It […]
Nike Free 3.0 Review – Nike’s Answer to Simulating Barefoot Running
May 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I broke the following running commandment today: Thou shalt not wear new shoes on a 20-mile run. As generally happens when a commandment is broken, the wrath of the running gods was showered down upon me. Emboldened by my experience this weekend running 4 and then 7 miles in Maine in my new Nike Free […]
Salming T1 Review: A Nice Trail/Mountain Hybrid Shoe
June 30, 2015 By 11 Comments
by David Henry I hadn’t heard much about the Swedish shoe brand Salming before Pete asked me if I’d be willing to try their debut trail shoe, the T1, for review. After looking at some of the specs on their website, I saw that many of the features were what I like to see in […]
inov-8 Race Ultra 270 Trail Shoe Review
April 15, 2015 By 36 Comments
by David Henry I’ve been looking forward to trying the inov-8 Race Ultra 270 since I first knew it existed back over a year ago. Details at that point were sparse, but I already liked what I saw from the then soon to be released Race Ultra 290 (which made my list of Top Trail […]
