Since I’ve spent the last few years putting a lot of running and outdoor gear through hours and hours of training and racing, I thought it would be helpful to start publishing some gear reviews and advice.
- What Shoes Do I Wear?
I've been asked this so many times that I thought it would be helpful to finally publish some advice. Here's a quick review of some of the basic features I look for and a few of the shoes I've tried from Montrail, La Sportiva, and Inov-8. - New Balance MT101's
- Black Diamond Ultra Distance Z-Pole
