Sometimes you need to get things off your chest before you can move forward. I’ve been suffering a bit of writer’s block because I waited so long to write and publish the post I released yesterday. Though it can be difficult to reveal one’s vulnerabilities to a larger audience, I’ve found that doing so can […]

Nike Wildhorse 3 Review: Beefed Up, But Still a Great Shoe
July 13, 2015 By 12 Comments
Back in March I wrote a very positive review of the Nike Wildhorse 2. I’d put a bunch of miles on them over the winter, and was impressed by the combination of a lightweight, minimally structured upper and a well-cushioned, but reasonably thin sole. They also provided solid traction on the crusty ice and snow […]
Do Maximalist Running Shoes Reduce Impact Forces?
June 5, 2015 By 31 Comments
One of the drawbacks of the scientific research process is that it is slow. It takes time to run experiments, write up results, and get those results published in a peer-reviewed journal. As a result, popular trends tend to take off before science has a chance to validate the beliefs that sparked those trends. We […]
Respecting the Heat on the Run–I Never Seem to Learn
May 11, 2015 By 4 Comments
I feel like I write this post every spring. In fact, I probably do. I figure that maybe if I keep writing it, one year I’ll learn to do things differently. This was not that year. Yesterday I went for a seven mile run. Nothing too special about that, but it was the first really […]
Reflections on a Killer Trail Race
May 4, 2015 By 10 Comments
I ran my first race of the year on Saturday. It was a 10 mile trail race, but I feel like I just ran a marathon. My body is pretty well wrecked, but in a good way. As is often the case with races, the pain I felt during has been replaced by a feeling […]
Brooks Launch 2 Running Shoe Review: Updating a Classic
March 30, 2015 By 6 Comments
The original Brooks Launch was one of my all-time favorite running shoes. I started running in them in 2009, and ran a breakthrough PR in the (frigid) 2010 Disney Marathon with the Launch on my feet. They were simple, lightweight, soft in the heel, incredibly smooth, and the red/orange color combo looked amazing. They were […]

March 19, 2015 By 4 Comments
The New Balance 1400 v2 is one of my favorite shoes – simple, lightweight, and affordably priced. It’s also a very popular shoe among readers of this website, so I wanted to share the news that an update is on the way. Yesterday I was alerted in a comment that version 3 of the 1400 […]
How Many Miles Do You Run at Running Camp?
August 4, 2014 By 8 Comments
For the past two weeks I worked as a coach at the annual adult summer running camps in Craftsbury, VT. My primary role there is to present on training physiology, form & footwear, and to do gait analysis for the campers. However, I also get to participate in a lot of the workouts and do […]
New Balance Fresh Foam 980 Review: Firm, Responsive, and A Bit Pointy
July 15, 2014 By 15 Comments
The New Balance Fresh Foam 980 seems to be a shoe experiencing a slight identity crisis – it doesn’t really know what it wants to be. That’s not necessarily a bad thing as I like shoes that are innovative and buck the traditional mold for a running shoe, but I think the marketing of this […]
Sage Canady in the White Mountains of New Hampshire
July 13, 2014 By 2 Comments
I recently came across a video of Sage Canaday running the Presidential Traverse in the White Mountains of New Hampshire (on Far North Endurance). He was up here for the Mt. Washington Road Race, where he finished third. If you’re not familiar with the Mt. Washington Road Race, it’s pretty intense – 7.6 miles and […]
Busted: Never Steal Skechers From Your Mom
July 8, 2014 By 6 Comments
I spent the 4th of July holiday with my parents up in Maine. As a shoe reviewer, I tend to travel with a lot of shoes, and while packing to come home yesterday I loaded them all into the Thule box on top of our car. Apparently I swiped an extra pair…busted on Facebook!

Product Review: i-gotU GPS Travel and Sports Logger
September 5, 2009 By 1 Comment
A few months ago I received an e-mail from a company called Mobile Action Technology Inc. with a request that I review a GPS logging device that they had designed – the i-gotU GT-120 GPS Travel and Sports Logger. In a previous post on this blog I reviewed and expressed my love for the Garmin […]
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 […]
