Running History: Arthur Newton on Pacing in Training vs. Races (1935)
May 15, 2014 By 4 Comments
As Caleb Masland pointed out yesterday in his post on varying pacing in workouts, many runners tend to run too fast, too often in their training. This can lead to burnout and eventual injury. Caleb discussed how and why elites vary their training paces across a broad range, and how, in contrast, amateur runners often […]
Foot Strike Patterns in Barefoot and Minimalist Runners
April 30, 2014 By 4 Comments
Back in 2011 I attended the New York City Barefoot Run. I was in town for a meeting organized by Merrell Footwear (they invited a bunch of folks – scientists, writers, journalists, runners – to talk shoe trends), and the Barefoot Run was included on the list of events for the weekend. Rather than participate […]
5 Things I Learned From Running A Trail Race Last Weekend
April 29, 2014 By 17 Comments
It’s been a long time since I’ve run a long trail race. I paced for about 7 miles last year at the Vermont 100 (my runner dropped), but the last trail race longer than a 5K that I ran for myself was the HAT Run 50K back in 2011. I forgot how much fun they […]
Blowing the Dust Off the Brooks Vantage
April 8, 2014 By 5 Comments
by Jon Gugala (Disclaimer: Brooks sent me these shoes for free. But I probably would have bought them on my own anyway.) Every young runner falls in love with Steve Prefontaine. Dat Mustache. The way he ran like a hellion bent on drawing blood from his opponents. And the fact that he had opponents. Pre […]
Altra The One2 (Squared) Review: A Complete Redesign
March 31, 2014 By 55 Comments
It’s been quite a while since I’ve run in an Altra shoe. I like the brand, I’ve been in touch with the founders since before they made their first shoe, and I love the fact that they produce shoes that are shaped like a human foot. However, I’ve never really connected with an Altra shoe […]
This Week In Runblogging: 3/17-3/23 2014
March 23, 2014 By 11 Comments
As I hinted at last week, I think I’m going to make an effort to do a weekly roundup-style post. I may not get one done every week, but my goal going forward is to try to get something up every Sunday/Monday recapping things that I have read and/or written in the previous week. I’m […]
Mizuno Hitogami Review: Solid Choice Among Distance Racing Shoes
March 18, 2014 By 17 Comments
A few months ago I wrote a post in which I described why the Mizuno Sayonara did not work for me. I found that shoe to be overly stiff and firm in the heel, and it just did not work well with my stride. It was shame since the shoe otherwise felt great – roomy […]
More Support for Rotating Shoes to Reduce Running Injury Risk
March 12, 2014 By 22 Comments
A few months back I wrote a post on a study that found that rotating running shoes can reduce injury risk for runners. The logic is that shoes of different construction alter how forces are applied to the body, and that by rotating among a few different types of shoe we mix up the way […]
Nike Free 5.0+ Running Shoe Review
March 7, 2014 By 22 Comments
Update 3/14/2014: Nike has officially introduced the 2014 Nike Free shoes. Click here for images and details on the Nike Free 3.0 v6, Free 4.0 v4, and Free 5.0 v2. I have a fairly long history with the Nike Free line of shoes. My first step into more minimal footwear was with the Free 3.0 v1 back […]
Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for Running: Jaybird Freedom vs. Jabra SPORT+
March 6, 2014 By 14 Comments
I’ve been running a lot this winter with my iPhone 5s using the iSmoothRun App along with a Magellan Echo watch (the Echo controls the phone and displays my run stats). One of the nice things about running with my phone is that I have access to my music, podcasts, audiobooks, and Spotify – lot’s […]
Why Can’t Science Determine the Best Running Shoe?
January 10, 2014 By 48 Comments
A few weeks ago I wrote a post on a new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in which I predicted that media headlines/articles would get the interpretation of the results wrong. Well, yesterday Reuters published an article on the study titled “Switch to minimalist running shoes tied to injuries, pain.” And […]
Running in Winter: How to Keep Hands and Feet Warm When It’s Cold
January 9, 2014 By 22 Comments
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about how to keep man-parts warm on runs in the winter. The response to that post was incredible (now nearing 15,000 hits!), so clearly it was a topic of interest to runners, especially considering how cold this winter has been in many parts of the world (one […]
End of Year Poll: What Were Your Favorite Shoes of 2013
December 26, 2013 By 7 Comments
Normally at the end of each year I do a few posts summing up my favorite shoes of the year. I plan to do a list of my top 5 road shoes within the next week (Nate may do one for trail as well), but wanted to take a slightly different approach by asking you […]
Do Minimalist Shoes Increase Injury Risk?: Merry Christmas Vibram
December 24, 2013 By 31 Comments
Contrary to what you may read in the coming days about a new study that just came out, Vibram just got the best Christmas present they could have received. The question of whether minimalist running shoes reduce or increase injury risk has been debated extensively over the past 3-4 years. Much of this debate has […]
