A few weeks ago I got an email from a reader asking if I had seen or tried the New Balance 730 (thanks for the heads up Robert!). He indicated that it was for sale at Finish Line, and that it felt very low drop and had a super wide toebox. Needless to say I […]

Saucony Hattori: First Look Review of Saucony’s First Zero Drop Shoe
April 26, 2011 By 91 Comments
UPDATE 7/30/2012: Saucony has released a much-improved, lace-up update to the Saucony Hattori – read my Saucony Hattori LC review here. One of the coolest parts of the Boston Marathon weekend experience was the Expo – it was a bit overwhelming for a gear junkie like me to be surrounded by the latest offerings from […]
Announcing Running Warehouse Europe
May 6, 2015 By 20 Comments
If you’ve been a regular reader of this website, you’re probably familiar with Running Warehouse. They are a large, online retailer of running shoes and gear, and have been an advertising partner of this site for many years – I’m grateful for the support they have provided me since starting this blog back in 2009. […]
Arc’Teryx Running Apparel Guest Review: High Quality Apparel for Running in Nasty Weather
March 19, 2014 By 6 Comments
I live in the Pacific NW, and as you may have heard, it rains a lot here. Being a long distance trail runner, this poses some interesting gear challenges. The winter months can be particularly tricky to gear up for, especially when you might wind up running for hours in steady, cold rain. In order […]
New Balance 1400 v2 Review: A Candidate For Shoe Of The Year
October 30, 2013 By 71 Comments
“The 1400 are what running shoes are pretty much supposed to be. That’s not to say that shoes that aren’t like this are no good. I know they are. And not everyone can wear one model. But running is supposed to be simple. At some point we came to believe that our running shoes weren’t […]
Qualifying for Boston at the Smuttynose Rockfest Marathon: My Race Report
October 6, 2010 By 65 Comments
Three and a half years ago I was overweight and out-of-shape (see picture at left) – my 190 pound body was far more comfortable sitting on the couch and watching TV than clicking off miles out on the road. Yesterday, however, after burning off about 25 pounds from my 5’10” frame (the right-hand picture to […]
Running Accessories: Stuffitts, YurBuds, and Rockin’ Refuel Chocolate Milk
September 27, 2010 By 13 Comments
I’m beginning to fall behind on my product review obligations, so I thought I’d combine a few into a single post since they are relatively short and easy, and don’t necessarily warrant a full post as do some of my my more in-depth product reviews. In this post I’ll be reviewing three products that were […]
When in Doubt, Follow Your Passion
September 7, 2010 By 46 Comments
This post is going to be a bit off-topic from what I’ve been writing about of late, but it’s something that has been on my mind for awhile and I felt the need to share it. It’s not about running per se, but rather some thoughts on life and this blog that have come to […]
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 […]
Polar A300 Fitness Watch and Activity Monitor Review
May 12, 2015 By 6 Comments
I’ve been using some form of activity tracker for a few years now. For a while I had a Fitbit (which went missing in Florida a few years ago), but my go-to device for the past year or so has been the Garmin Vivofit. For the most part I really like the Vivofit – solid […]
adidas Adios Boost Review – Great Shoe, If a Bit Pricey
December 12, 2013 By 64 Comments
For quite a long time I’ve avoided most any shoe over 8mm drop from heel to forefoot. However, a few months ago I bought a pair of New Balance 1400v2’s after hearing positive things about them from friends (damn you John Schrup!). I never tried the 1400v1 because the drop was above my preferred range […]
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 – […]
Wear Running Shoes that Fit!: Don’t Be a Slave to Your “Size”
July 25, 2013 By 40 Comments
One of the lessons I’ve learned over the past few years is to buy shoes that fit my feet rather than making my feet fit into my shoes. I used to wear a size 10 in every shoe I purchased, unless they ran really short. I figured I’d been a size 10 since I graduated […]
Merrell Ascend Glove Trail Shoe Review and Six Pair Giveaway!
June 24, 2013 By 42 Comments
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to fly out to Portland, Oregon to attend an insights meeting with Merrell Footwear. Merrell has organized a meeting like this each year for the past 3 years, and they basically invite a collection of individuals throughout the running footwear world to solicit feedback on trends, marketing […]
Saucony Virrata Review and Comparison to the Saucony Kinvara 3: Guest Post by Alex Raggers
January 23, 2013 By 38 Comments
A few weeks ago I received a message from one of my many footwear spies across the globe. Alex Raggers is a runner from the Netherlands, and to his surprise he recently walked into his local running store to find that they had the new (and much anticipated) Saucony Virrata in stock. Given that I’m […]
