On Cloudsurfer Next Review: Insert Cloud Pun Here
What gets you out of the door for a run? I have a few motivations, and by now, I’m sure you’ve figured out that one of them is lacing up my running shoes. This year, I have had the opportunity to try out multiple pairs of shoes, a few I would have not tried otherwise. […]
Saucony Triumph 22 Review: Cruiser or Bruiser?

Brooks Caldera 7 Review: Ultra Problems Require Ultra Solutions
Have you ever dedicated weeks to training, only to have your race day derailed by unforeseen circumstances? Unfortunately, that’s the scenario I found myself in, struck down by a stomach bug just 36 hours before the start of the Mississippi 50K Trail Run.
