This is the 5th version of a shoe I have loved over the years, and like any shoe that has come this far, I was worried the Kinvara 5 (http://runningshoes.com/saucony-kinvara-5-slime-orange-citron) would be significantly different than it's previous versions. I am happy to announce the shoe has retained all the great...

I've been a big fan of Patagonia gear for years now and recently started getting into their trail running line. Last year I remember hearing rumors of a new trail shoe that would sport a cushioned midsole and light, flexible upper. When they announced the EVERlong, I got excited. When...

Ladies and gentlemen, I finally get to review the new Brooks PureConnect 3! (RunningShoes.com) I reviewed the original Brooks PureConnect and while I liked it for the most part, I had some issues with it after awhile. A lot of that original shoe carried on into round two, where not much...

I am all sorts of stoked on this shoe. The Newton Energy NR is a fantastic shoe and I might go as far as to say it's one of Newton's best shoes yet. There are a number of reasons for this. The 5 lug system, the stable forefoot platform, the...

If you've followed me for awhile, you know how much I love the Saucony Kinvara 3. This shoe is Saucony's response to a more minimal, zero-drop, cushioned version of the Kinvara. The question is whether it lives up to the hype. Well, all-in-all, the shoe is pretty dynamite, but not without...

This shoe is awesome. There are so many things that I like and only a few things I don't. If you haven't run in a Kinvara yet, I would absolutely recommend you try them on and taking them on some miles. While the shoes seem to break down early in...

I may have whispered the word, "Wow", to myself hundreds of times in a 4 hour time-span. It was pretty much the only way to sum up my 2012 Big Sur Marathon experience. I mean, when you have 26.2 miles of rugged cliffsides, breathtaking ocean-views, quad-slamming hills, and brutally canted...

[caption id="attachment_244" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="The Ginger at the starting line!"][/caption] What's the best way to prep for a race the day before the gun? Drink beer. Amazing, high alcohol percentaged beer. And that's exactly what I did the night before the Pacific Coast Trail Run's Malibu Creek 10k. Way to go,...
