Adidas Adizero Evo SL Review: Legend or Letdown?
Released in early 2025, the Evo SL is Adidas’s daily trainer with elements taken from their race day options. The hype train left the station quickly for the Evo SL, grabbing attention from Youtube to Reddit and a chokehold on the run club scene. Hype is one thing but performance is another. Can the EVO SL bring both to the table?
Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 Review: Chasing That Feeling
In the movie world, sequels and remakes rarely live up to the original. It’s not always because they aren’t well-made, but because the first one showed up at the right time and left its mark. Shoes face the same battle. There’s something about that first experience, how it felt and what it meant, that’s hard […]
Icebug Järv RB9X Review: Built on Sustainability
I’ve missed the trails. There’s a peace out there that road running just can’t match. The quiet, the trees, the occasional free protein after running through a spider web. No cars to dodge, no sidewalks to trip over; but plenty of roots to keep you honest. Just time to zone out and move through the […]
Diadora Frequenza Review: Finding the Right Frequency
Running has a rhythm. It’s not just about speed but finding a pace that feels right and settling into a groove. Finding the right frequency is about syncing up with your body and the road until it all just clicks. And once it does, running becomes more like a flow and less like work. A […]
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 Review: Road to Reliability
When it comes to TV shows, there are just too many options. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve spent more time scrolling than actually watching, only to end up with nothing that really sticks. In those moments, I always come back to something reliable: The Office, Seinfeld, Parks and Rec. Shows I know […]
Altra Torin 8 Review: Room to Run
Running is about the experience. Being present with yourself, the road or trail beneath you, and the environment around you. Altra has long aimed to support that connection by offering a natural ride that allows the feet to move freely, helping reduce stress on both body and mind. While the brand has seen some ups […]
Diadora Gara Carbon 2 Review: Craft Meets Kick
There’s just something about race day. The nerves, the hype, the ritualistic pre-race visit (or three) to the porta potty line that somehow always feels longer than the race itself. It’s an emotional roller coaster from start to finish; doubt, excitement, discomfort, joy, relief. But one of my favorite race day rituals? Shoe spotting. You’ll […]
London Marathon Race Recap
Twenty weeks. Nearly 800 miles. All leading up to one day. Race day. No matter how much you train, there’s always the unknown. Things out of your control that can throw a wrench in your plans. For me and 56,000 fellow runners, that came in the form of warm weather on race day. But that’s […]
London Marathon Training Weeks 16-19
Setting big goals is scary. There’s always that little voice telling me, ‘you will fail’. A 3:35 marathon wasn’t just outside my comfort zone a year ago, it felt flat-out impossible. But putting that number out there shifted everything. It turned casual runs into purpose-driven training and turned “good enough” into “I’ve got more in […]
Mizuno Neo Zen Review: Cushioned Clarity
Mental clarity has always been a huge part of pushing through tough runs, and as I’ve shared before, running has been a tool for managing stress, reflecting, and even healing. That’s where Zen comes in. Rooted in simplicity and mindfulness, the concept of Zen feels like it aligns perfectly with the flow of running. It’s […]
