Exploring the world in running shoes
I've already written a list with Marathons for slow runnersĀ and I've also written about the Marathon Majors and their cut off times. So, I thought I also do a list with half marathons and their cut off times. It is a bit easier to find a half with a longer cut off time than it... Continue Reading →
I reviewed 19 pairs of running shoes in 2019: 361 Degrees 361 Degrees Strata 3 The Strata 3 is the new mid-to-high mileage stability shoe by 361 Degrees. It has a new lacing system and is a nice plush ride. The Strata 3 is a good long, slow run training shoe for those looking for... Continue Reading →
When I think of running shoes, Reebok is not the first brand that comes to mind. Not because there is anything wrong with Reebok, but I just associate them more with lifestyle sportswear rather than actual sportswear. But I heard some rumours about this great new running shoe from Reebok that was only $100. So,... Continue Reading →
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.

Around Nijmegen there are several hills and they even have a running event which conquers seven of those hills, hence why it's called the seven hill run. I ran it last year as well, two weeks...

My first running shoes from Brooks were the Levitate 2 and I was very impressed by that shoe and its midsole material, which made me wonder. Because I know so many runners that are so happy with their Brooks running shoes, why is that. When I put the Ghost 12 on they were comfortable right... Continue Reading →
Over the years Iāve heard good things about the Brooks Glycerin and since I like neutral cushioned shoes, I had to try them out for myself. Especially since I was looking for my next marathon shoe and thought the Glycerin 17 might be right for me. The 17th edition of the Glycerin has a 10... Continue Reading →
The Ghost and the Glycerin are two of the most popular shoes in the Brooks line-up. They are both neutral road running shoes that have roughly the same stack height and the same weight. So which one should you get? Left: Brooks Ghost 12. Right: Brooks Glycerin 17. The Brooks Ghost 12 has a forefoot... Continue Reading →
These past few days Iāve been trying to get to terms with this race. Trying to look at it in a positive way. But I canāt help but feel disappointed. Itās not necessarily the time Iām disappointed about as much as the feeling that I didnāt get everything out of this race that was possible.... Continue Reading →
