Exploring the world in running shoes
361 Degrees is a fairly new brand on the European market. But they are already a well known brand in China. I had heard of them before, but I hadn’t tried any of their shoes yet. So, when I had the chance to try their new Spire 3, I obviously said yes. The 361 Degrees... Continue Reading →
The Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo is actually a combination of some of the previous Nike running shoe models. It has elements from the Pegasus 35, the React and from the Vaporfly 4%. There has been a lot of hype around this shoe, as is often the case with the running shoes Nike launches. I was... Continue Reading →
This shoe has been twenty years in the making. The Asics GEL-Nimbus 20 is a highly cushioned, neutral running road shoe. It has a forefoot height of 12 mm and a heel height of 25 mm for the ladies and 13 mm and 23 mm for the guys. That gives it a rather large drop,... Continue Reading →
I had heard a lot of good things about the Tilburg Ten Miles race, but I never ran it before. It was easy to get to the start, it’s only about half a kilometre from the central station in Tilburg. I met up with some runners before the race so I could give them some... Continue Reading →

I had the chance to try the new Adidas Solarboost shoes on two separate occasions. I got to run with them in a park in Den Haag and through the city of Den Bosch. The Solarboost is a neutral shoe with a 10 mm drop. Adidas claims that these shoes were inspired by NASA technology,... Continue Reading →
I don't mind a bit of rain or a bit of snow during my run, although I'm not a fan of cold weather since it gets harder for me to breathe and I get cold easily, but running during an amber weather warning.... that wasn't easy... The urban trail series is a series of 10... Continue Reading →
For the past 12 years there has been a week long light festival in Eindhoven, the Netherlands during the month of November. And for the past 3 years they've had a fun run at the end of it.
