(UPDATE Dec. 2012: With a new update to the GoRun now out, the original Skechers GoRun can be purchased for as little as $36 at Amazon.com. The GoRun 2 will be reviewed soon here on Runblogger) This post is going to come as a bit of a shock to a lot of people who read […]

Americans Are Fat and Getting Fatter: The Depressing Details of the 2011 “F as in Fat” Report
July 8, 2011 By 22 Comments
Image via Wikipedia I spend a lot of time writing about topics like running shoes and running form here on Runblogger. Ultimately, though I enjoy the scientific debate involved when discussing research, as well as the fun I get to have when testing out new shoes, my primary motivator for writing this site is a […]
On Running Form, Variability in Elites, and What it Means to You (and Me)
August 9, 2010 By 34 Comments
Image by -nanio- via Flickr If there is one thing that I have learned in 15+ years of teaching and studying biology, it’s that variation is the norm rather than the exception. Variability is the reason why biology is sometimes called the “sloppy science,” and it’s the reason why undergraduate biology majors at my college […]
The Barefoot & Minimalist Running Debate – A Plea for Moderation
May 20, 2010 By 50 Comments
Image by Charlie. via Flickr I’ve spent the past two days (!) reading through threads on barefoot running and the dangers of running in Vibram Fivefingers at the Podiatry Arena (thanks to a reader for pointing this out to me), and I can’t help but come away frustrated by the level of animosity between the […]
2019 Black Friday and Cyber Monday Running Gear Deals
November 28, 2019 By Leave a Comment
Each year around this time I put up a post containing a collection of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale links. Basically what I do is spend some time scouring the web for running-related holiday sales, and aggregate them all into a single post – kind of a one-stop shop for runners looking for discounted […]

Timex Introduces Ironman One GPS+ Smart Watch
August 7, 2014 By 7 Comments
I’ve reviewed a number of GPS fitness watches over the past few years. One of the most impressive was the Motorola MotoActv – it had a beautiful touch-screen, could play music via Bluetooth, and was solid on the tracking side. Unfortunately the MotoActv had some fatal flaws, namely poor battery life and ineffective waterproofing, particularly […]

June 16, 2014 By 11 Comments
This is Part 3 of a 4-part series – you can also view previews of Altra, Newton, and Hoka summer 2014 releases. Since these shoes have yet to be released, I have not run in any of them. If you have, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! I’ve had mixed luck with […]

Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit Review: The Best Nike Free Yet?
May 22, 2014 By 87 Comments
I’m going to start this review with a bold statement: the Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit is the best Nike Free shoe I have ever worn. Writing that opening line is a big deal for me because the original Nike Free 3.0 remains one of my favorite shoes of all time. That shoe was lightweight, ultra-flexible, […]
Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Watch Review
March 5, 2014 By 15 Comments
My first ever GPS watch was the Garmin Forerunner 205. I loved that watch and used it on every run for several years. It was rock-solid when it came to tracking, the battery seemed to last forever, and it carried me through multiple marathons without issue. My only real issue with the 205 was that […]
Dirty Runner: Skechers GoRun Ultra Review
December 16, 2013 By 98 Comments
One of the best things about writing this column has been the opportunity I’ve had to build personal relationships with shoe companies. The one that I work with the most is Skechers. By now I should not have to convince anybody that they are a “real” performance running shoe manufacturer, so I won’t… For me, […]
Saucony Kinvara 5 Preview
December 3, 2013 By 47 Comments
Update: This shoe is now available and I have posted a Saucony Kinvara 5 review here. Earlier today Saucony posted a preview of the Kinvara 5 on their blog (thanks to Marc S. for the alert!). I was disappointed by the Kinvara 4, with my main issues being the tight forefoot fit and lack of […]
Do Vibram Fivefingers Increase Risk of Foot Stress Fractures?: Some Thoughts on Recent Research
April 1, 2013 By 41 Comments
A couple of weeks ago a study titled “Foot Bone Marrow Edema after 10-Week Transition to Minimalist Running Shoes” was published on-line by the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. The study created a bit of a stir in the news, with the typical hyped up headlines accompanying articles on the paper. “Barefoot […]
New Balance MRC1600 Racing Flat Review
November 19, 2012 By 18 Comments
A bit over a year ago I wrote a post on the somewhat complex relationship between running shoe midsoles, ground surface properties, muscle tuning, and limb stiffness (read the muscle tuning-limb stiffness post here). As a result of my experience with shoes, the research I did while writing my book, and conversations with gait experts, […]
