Garmin Forerunner 15 (FR15) Review: Activity Tracking and GPS in One Watch
July 8, 2014 By 34 Comments
Last summer I wrote a very positive review of the Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS watch. The FR10 is Garmin’s entry level GPS watch, and I was more than a bit surprised by how much I liked it. It provided accurate tracking, stable pace readouts, a small form-factor, and an intuitive, simple menu system. The device […]

I do this column for Runblogger because I love talking and writing about running and the equipment that goes with it. I’m very fortunate to receive lots of cool stuff to review here! Lately I’m feeling really guilty as I’ve been using a number of products that I have not had time to write about […]

I’ll let you in on a little secret. Running 100 miles is not that hard. For most races you get at least 30 hours to do it. You only have to run a little over 4 miles per hour to break 24 hours. Almost anybody who has a strong will and puts in a decent […]

November 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment
As you may or may not have heard, the ING NYC Marathon that was set to be run on Sunday morning has been canceled. Regardless of whether you feel that cancellation was the right choice (I personally think it was), the late timing of the decision was very poor. Many runners are either en route […]
