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 […]
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 […]
Topo Athletic Aura Review: Must Be Some Topo’s in the Atmosphere
There is just something about the long run. It’s not about pace or splits. It is about locking into a rhythm and letting the miles unfold. Whether it’s a solo grind or time spent with friends, the long run is where things slow down just enough to embrace the process. For these runs, I reach […]
Diadora Nucleo 2 Review: Italian Workhorse
Two of my favorite things: soccer and running. Diadora, with its rich history of quality and performance on the pitch, has long been an iconic name in soccer, crafting gear for some of the sport’s greatest players. In recent years, they’ve brought that same attention to detail and athlete-focused design to the running world. Seeing […]
Saucony Triumph 22 Review: Cruiser or Bruiser?
Just over seven months ago, I DNF’d the Mississippi 50K after falling ill just days before the race. Determined to complete an ultra marathon this year, I registered for the Wildcat Ultra 50K. Held over Labor Day Weekend, this hot and humid race took me across grass fields, sandy trails, and pavement. It was a […]
Altra Experience Flow Review: Surrender to the Flow
When I think of Altra Running, three things come to mind: zero drop midsole, foot shaped upper, and cult (half joking). In 2023, Altra made waves in the running world by introducing the AltraFWD Experience, a 4mm drop shoe. Though ruffling the feathers of Altra purists (see previous cult comment), this introduction has opened the […]
Hoka Mach 6 Review: Revin’ Up A Powerful Mach (6)!
With each review, I often find myself taking a trip back to my childhood. Countless late nights were spent glued to the television, watching reruns of Speed Racer. The series followed Speed’s journey to become the world champion of racing, behind the wheel of his race car, the Mach 5. Even the later live-action adaptation […]
