December 30, 2010 By 29 Comments

April 15, 2010 By 19 Comments
If you were to ask me how I would define “minimalist” when it comes to running footwear, I would say that there are four factors that are most critical: 1. A minimalist shoe should be lightweight – in fact, the lighter, the better. My personal rule of thumb is to look for shoes that weigh […]

October 2, 2014 By 15 Comments

Last year I started sending out a weekly newsletter with recommended articles from around the web. I stopped producing the newsletter in the Fall because it was sometimes tough to come up with articles on a weekly basis, and I simply ran out of steam trying to keep up with it. I thought I might […]
