And then Corona happened. Boston got moved from April to September. At the beginning of the year this... Continue Reading →
Lots of running shoe brands are launching shoes with new and exciting technologies to try to keep up with Nike and their carbon plate shoes. Not only does almost every brand now have a shoe with a carbon plate, most brands have also launched new midsole materials promising you softer or more responsive rides, or... Continue Reading →
It's summer again, which means flip-flops (or sandals, or thongs, or plakkies, or teenslippers or whatever you want to call them).

I've written a gift guide in 2018 and in 2017. So, it's time for the updated version. Flipbelt I've been using a Flipbelt for years now. Most running clothes just don't have enough pockets or the pockets are too small to hold your phone, keys and other things you want to take with you while... Continue Reading →
