One of the big challenges I face in writing this blog is trying to remain objective given that I have personal biases stemming from my own experience. For example, I review, promote, and like running in more minimal shoes and don’t foresee myself ever going back to more traditional models. However, I try hard to […]

Fixing My Wife: Hip Pain, Neuroma, and Hoka Oh My!
April 23, 2013 By 70 Comments
My wife Erin is a source of much personal frustration. The frustration doesn’t stem from any particular aspect of our relationship (thank goodness!), rather I am frustrated with her as a runner. I just can’t seem to fix her. I have to be honest – my wife was a serious runner long before I ever […]
Skechers GoRun 2 Review: How a Running Shoe Update is Made
February 4, 2013 By 104 Comments
Back in the summer of 2011 I was contacted by the design team from the Performance Running division at Skechers to see if I wanted to try out a new shoe that they had developed. The shoe was the original Skechers GoRun, and it was the first offering from the Go team at Skechers. I […]
What Motivates Me: Story of a Student
January 16, 2013 By 17 Comments
I gave the first lecture of the semester in my Exercise Physiology class yesterday. As I always do, I started the course by talking about why human beings should be active, and how our relative inactivity in modern society can be linked to a host of health problems. I discussed our evolutionary history, and talked […]
Greatness: Awesome Nike Commercial
August 9, 2012 By 16 Comments
Like many people, I’ve spent the last two weeks soaking up as much of the Olympic coverage as I can. As someone who rarely watches television (we dropped cable several years ago and have not looked back!), the Olympic experience has reacquainted me with the “commercial break.” I could live without the vast majority of […]
Tread Lightly Interview on Runner’s World Website: Pronation Control Excerpt
July 5, 2012 By 3 Comments
A few days ago I had the pleasure of speaking with journalist Phil Latter about my book, Tread Lightly: Form, Footwear, and the Quest for Injury Free Running. We talked about quite a number of topics, and the interview has now been posted on the Runner’s World website. Here’s an excerpt: Phil: What first caught […]
New Balance 730 Update: 25 Solid Miles of Running
February 21, 2012 By 71 Comments
I thought I’d drag my self from the depths of final book editing to give a quick update on my experience with the New Balance 730 running shoe. A few weeks back I wrote a post describing the New Balance 730 in detail, but at the time I had yet to run in them. I’ve […]
Mizuno Wave Universe 4: A Near Perfect Racing Flat
January 29, 2012 By 51 Comments
I just returned from a solid 7 mile run in the Mizuno Wave Universe 4 racing flats, and it reminded me that I have yet to write up my thoughts on these shoes here on the blog. Much like the review of the New Balance MO10 that I posted yesterday, this review will be fairly […]
Blaise Dubois’ Running Injury Prevention and Treatment Course Returns to Milwaukee, WI February 24-26, 2012
November 23, 2011 By 3 Comments
Last January I attended a 3 day course called New Trends in the Prevention and Treatment of Running Injuries. The course, led by physiotherapist Blaise Dubois from Quebec City, was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend attending should you have the chance. I recently received an email from my friend Kyle Roberts who owns […]
Journal Article: Foot strike patterns of recreational and sub-elite runners in a long-distance road race
November 18, 2011 By 35 Comments
Just a quick post to announce that my first academic paper on running-related research has been published in the Journal of Sports Sciences – the title is “Foot strike patterns of recreational and sub-elite runners in a long-distance road race.” The research in this paper is based on film that seven of my former undergraduate […]
My Thoughts on “Perfect” Running Form and Footwear
November 3, 2011 By 64 Comments
I’ve been reading with some amount of amusement the comments associated with Christopher McDougall’s latest article in the NY Times Magazine. On the one hand there are folks decrying the use of anecdote and asking to see the data showing that barefoot is better, as well as those horrified at the thought of running barefoot […]
Adidas Adipure Trainer Barefoot-Style Running Shoe: Yet Another Fivefingers Clone?
August 23, 2011 By 50 Comments
Looks like Adidas wants a piece of the Fivefingered shoe pie. Nick Pang over at Minimalistrunningshoes.org and Bill Katovsky at Zero Drop just sent me a photo of their newest minimalist shoe, the Adidas Adipure Trainer. Looks like the fact that Vibram, make of the Vibram Fivefingers, is suing Fila (who released a four-fingered shoe […]
Why a majority of runners, even among international elites, are heel strikers by Blaise Dubois
August 19, 2011 By 56 Comments
Below is the text of a newsletter that my friend Blaise Dubois, a physiotherapist from Quebec City, just sent out regarding the topic of heel striking. If you don’t subscribe to Blaise’s newsletter, I recommend that you do – he sends out a lot of interesting information, and posts like this one are great for […]
Metatarsal Stress Fractures in Runners Part II: Thoughts From a Radiologist
July 28, 2011 By 24 Comments
A little over a week ago I published a post that addressed some potential causes of metatarsal stress fractures in new barefoot and minimalist runners. That post, by Dr. Casey Kerrigan, got quite a response, so I wanted to follow up with an additional post by a running radiologist by the name of Dr. Andrew […]
Recommended Read: Scott Douglas Book Excerpt on the Future of Minimalist Running Shoes
Several months back I spoke on the phone with Scott Douglas, a writer and editor for Runner’s World and Running Times. My own book, Tread Lightly, had just come out, and Scott was writing a book of his own on minimalist running for Rodale Press (the publisher of Runner’s World and Running Times). We covered […]
