Exploring the world in running shoes
The Brooks Ghost is the popular daily trainer in the Brooks line-up. I’ve reviewed the Ghost 12 before and although I enjoyed the ride, the heel to toe transition wasn’t that smooth. But Brooks has made some changes in the 13th and 14th edition of this shoe. I’ve tried both, but both in the Gore-Tex... Continue Reading →
I’ve been using Shokz (formerly AfterShokz) headphones for 4 years now. I started using the Air in 2018, but for the past 2.5 years I’ve been using the Aeropex model and sometimes the OpenMove. They’ve now given the Aeropex a small upgrade and renamed it to OpenRun. Shokz (formerly AfterShokz) makes bone conduction headphones. The... Continue Reading →
Since Black Friday is coming up, I thought now would be a good time to put out a gift guide. I did one in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, so here's the 2021 edition. I'm sure there will be some great Black Friday deals out there and I'll definitely do some online shopping myself (can't... Continue Reading →
The first Wave Rider I tried was the 23, which pleasantly surprised me. I also tried the GTX version of that shoe and after that I also tried the 24. In the last few years Mizuno has made some changes to their shoes. They had already changed the 24 compared to the 23 and they’ve... Continue Reading →
My last race was in February 2020. I had two marathons planned in 2020, Boston and New York. Neither of those happened obviously. Both were moved to 2021, but Boston reduced their field size, so no Boston for me in 2021. Instead I got the chance to run London, which I obviously took, since it’s... Continue Reading →
Due to the pandemic my last race was a 5k in February of 2020. Since then basically all races have been cancelled. Now that the everything is slowly starting back up again I've been planning races again, but obviously there are no guarantees of them going ahead. When Iceland was one of the first countries...

I’ve tried the Wave Rider 23 and the GTX version before, but Mizuno has given their running shoe line-up a pretty big overhaul. So I’m curious to see how the 24th version of this shoe turned out. Mizuno Wave Rider 24 The Wave Rider is the iconic neutral daily trainer by Mizuno. This version has... Continue Reading →
In some countries races have already started again, in some they haven’t, but a lot of races are currently planned to take place this fall, including a lot of major marathons. You might be making plans for your fall races and might also be considering training plans. You could obviously train without one or get... Continue Reading →
I haven’t really tested that much trail running shoes before. Mostly because I prefer to run on roads, but also because the trails around here are not that technical (I live in a flat country after all), so I didn’t really see the need of having a pair of trail running shoes while some road...

I've never had an Apple Watch before. I've had several Garmin sports watches before and I actually still have the Garmin 645 Music. But I've been an Apple user for about five years now and I do a lot of running, walking and a little bit of cycling. I track all my activities. Not just... Continue Reading →
