Exploring the world in running shoes
I went to the expo on Friday. It is held at McCormick Place. You can get to the expo by public transport, but it’s not super easy. Therefore the marathon organization had arranged for shuttle busses to take you to and from the expo from downtown Chicago. I got on the shuttle bus near the... Continue Reading →
I did the same race last year, but they turned out to be complete opposites. In 2018 when I ran the Dam tot Damloop it was raining the entire time and by the end of the race I was soaked and very cold. But this time around it was sunny and very warm. The Dam... Continue Reading →
When I first saw the New Balance Fresh Foam Roav, I must admit, I did think they looked good, but they didn’t look like your average running shoe. Now, that doesn’t have to be a bad thing, there are lots of weird looking running shoes out there that aren’t half bad. Looking at the design... Continue Reading →
This is the second shoe from Saucony that I get to test. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Saucony Freedom ISO 2, I had some issues with the upper and the ISO fit, the same upper Saucony used on several of their models. But the Ride ISO 2 has a new upper and it’s... Continue Reading →
I've always wondered what was up with the Great North Run. They claim to be the largest half marathon in the world with 57,000 runners, however, Goteborg half marathon claims the same and says they have over 60,000 runners each year. I always wondered why Newcastle upon Tyne? You'd expect the largest half in the... Continue Reading →
I've have used the AfterShokz Trekz Air for the last 1.5 years. They are wireless bone conduction headphones. Through vibrations on your cheekbones they transmit the sound. And to be honest I don't know why there are still people out there that stuff/cover their ears with earbuds/headphones when they go outside to exercise, when you... Continue Reading →
I’ve come across so many runners that really like their Brooks running shoes. So, I wanted to know what that was all about. Thus, when I found a pair of Brooks Levitate 2 on sale, I decided to buy them. It wasn’t just a pair of the regular Levitate 2, it was the Ugly Christmas... Continue Reading →
In 2018 Hoka One One launched the Fly collection consisting of the Elevon, the Mach and the Cavu. The three shoes in the Fly collection are all light, yet cushioned shoes. The most cushioned shoe in the collection is the Hoka Elevon, which is a bit similar to the Hoka One One Vanquish. The Elevon... Continue Reading →
I ran the NYC Marathon in 2018 and I loved it. With about 2.5 months to go until the NYC marathon, I thought I'd share some of my tips. Enjoy the expo. The NYC marathon is the biggest marathon in the world and there is lots of gear and merchandise you can buy at the... Continue Reading →
I’ve never ran in a shoe by On Running before, I had never even tried on a pair of their shoes before. But I did see a lot of runners, and hikers, in their shoes and I got curious (like always). I wasn’t sure which On Running model would be the best fit for me,... Continue Reading →
