First of all, this review is a little different than normal. StrideBox isn’t a product so much as it is a service that provides products. The idea – which has existed in other industries for awhile – is simple. The customer pays a monthly fee – in this case $15 – and is delivered a box of surprise goods each month. The question I wanted to determine was if the $15 box was worth the […]

The new 2013 Injinji Performance 2.0 line of toe socks are AWESOME. I’ve worn my fair share of these foot-beasts and can vouch for not only their comfort, but their ability to get you through long races unscathed. I was hesitant about toe socks after a pretty bad experience with Five Fingers, but once you get them on and log a few runs with them, you’ll see what I mean. Also, with the new 2.0 […]

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 their lifespan, the comfort, weight, and upper make up for it by delivering a road shoe that can get you through any distance. You can […]

It’s the new year, January is almost over, and I think I owe you all a lil something for being so damn awesome and inspiring me everyday. Rather than hugging you and touching you each individually in the creepiest way possible, I’ve decided to host a fun lil giveaway starting THIS WEDNESDAY, January 23rd at 9am and ending at midnight (pst) the same day. And this one should be fun!! I got word that Injinji, […]

Yes, I know. I’m late to the pony race and am just now posting my 2012 “year in review” blog. I could give you the excuse that I’ve been crazy busy filming commercials, travelling through mountains, training, racing, working the world’s biggest electronics show (CES), and am prepping to head off to Sundance as a result of a short I made, but that’d be the easy way out. Instead, I’ll be honest and tell you […]

I love wearing the Skora Form all around in my daily life. While I’ve found the faults to interfere with the comfort of wearing them on regular long runs, I still find these shoes to be very comfortable for the day-to-day lifestyle as well as form/speed drills. I’m also not a big fan of the $185 price tag. However, they have a more affordable brother, the Base (which I have not tried). Have any of […]

Let’s just say this about the PureGrit: It’s magical. I love so many things about this shoe. It does still have it’s faults, but they’re small and will not keep me from wearing these suckers religiously on the trails. In fact, I was so confident in this shoe, I wore it in The North Face Endurance Challenge Championship 50k race in the Marin Headlands during some of the worst weather they’ve had in the race’s […]

I finally got the chance to review the light and fast, La Sportiva Vertical K. This shoe was made for racing. It’s cushioned while maintaining a low and fast profile. While it does have it’s short-comings, I overall like this shoe very much and have really racked the miles up on them. If you get a chance, try on a pair for yourself.

This last weekend, caked in mud, sweat and tears, I completed my very first ultra marathon – something I NEVER thought I’d be able do if you asked me a few years ago. This wasn’t just any ultra, this was the insanity that was The North Face Endurance Challenge Championship 50k race in the Marin Headlands of San Francisco. By now, some of you may have heard the stories, the gossip, and the legends of […]

On October 21st, 2012 I ran in a race like no other. Yes, there’s Tough Mudder and Warrior Dash, etc etc. But how about you take one of those races, with it’s mud and big obstacles, then add a whole new element: ZOMBIES. What do you have? The Run For Your Lives 5k ZOMBIE RUN! So rather than racing against the clock and seeing if you’re strong enough to jump over hurdles and climb rope […]
