I've reviewed several Hoka One One running shoes before and since All4Running gave me the chance to try the Clifton 7 and the Elevon 2, I decided to do a comparison between the Clifton and the Elevon series. The Clifton series was popular from the start. Especially the first version, so much so that Hoka... Continue Reading →
Christmas gifts for runners 2020
Black Friday is coming up and since I did a gift guide in 2017, 2018 and 2019, it is time to share the 2020 version of the gift guide. Let’s be honest. 2020 didn’t turn out the way anyone had planned. And if 2020 showed us anything, it’s that it is important to stay safe... Continue Reading →
Virtual London Marathon race review
I was supposed to run two marathons this year, Boston and New York, but corona. I ran Boston virtual and wondered if I should do New York virtual as well, but for New York it’s not unusual to have a virtual event. They had a virtual event for the past few years. However, other Marathon... Continue Reading →
AfterShokz OpenMove review and comparison
I’ve been an AfterShokz user for the past 2.5 years now. AfterShokz is the number one company for bone conduction headphones. The transducers on the headphones send small vibrations through your cheekbones to your inner ear. Through bone conduction it bypasses the ear drums and leaves your ears open so you can still hear your... Continue Reading →
Virtual Boston Marathon Race Review
After years of trying, I finally managed to get a bib for the 2020 Boston Marathon. I also managed to get a bib for the 2020 New York Marathon. So, 2020 would be a great running year. And then Corona happened. Boston got moved from April to September. At the beginning of the year this... Continue Reading →

Asics Gel-Cumulus 22: A more versatile shoe
I’ve tested Asics shoes before, however not the Cumulus. I wanted to see what the ride would be like in one of the most popular Asics shoes. Together with the Nimbus and the Kayano it is probably the most popular and well known shoe in the Asics collection and just like the Nimbus it is... Continue Reading →

Mizuno Wave Rider GTX – Just keep going
I’ve been looking for a Gore-Tex shoe for a while now. There aren’t that many on the market that aren’t trail shoes. I’ve had road running shoes that had pretty good drainage systems, but I’ve also had road running shoes that just absorbed all the water and took ages to dry after a run in... Continue Reading →
OOfos OOlala Sandals Review
It's summer again, which means flip-flops (or sandals, or thongs, or plakkies, or teenslippers or whatever you want to call them). I used to walk on regular flip-flops, but they aren't great for your feet and since I have quite a flat arch, or a basically non-existent one, they really weren't great for my feet....
