The While on Earth Rhythm Runner is the first dedicated running shoe from While on Earth, the performance brand that started with the Move Trainer. At $160, it enters the daily-trainer category, but its technical woven upper, supercritical foam, rocker, and multi-terrain outsole give it a stronger hybrid-training…Read more

I was curious where the Saucony Endorphin Azura would fit into Saucony’s running shoe line up…Saucony already has the Ride for daily miles, the Triumph for cushioned miles, the Kinvara for lighter miles, and the Endorphin Speed for faster miles. So where does a plateless, PWRRUN PB shoe…Read more

I wanted a Blue Mountains trail run that felt like the Blue Mountains: sandstone cliffs, valley views, waterfalls, bush, stairs, and enough runnable trail to make it feel like a run instead of just a hike with a watch on. I also didn’t want to be out all…Read more

The Bondi Beach to Coogee walk is one of those Sydney things everyone tells you to do. Usually, they say walk. Naturally, I heard that and decided to run it because apparently I cannot go anywhere scenic without turning it into a run. I didn’t actually know: “is…Read more

ASRV is one of those athletic apparel brands I have seen a couple of times. The clothing has a technical, gym-focused look, and the prices put ASRV in the premium activewear category. I think ASRV looks awesome and it’s one of the cleanest looking brands out there, but…Read more

The New Balance Ellipse v1 is one of New Balance’s newer daily trainers, and I was curious what the point was. New Balance already has the 880, 1080, More, Rebel, Balos, and too many other daily trainers depending on how deep into the website you are willing to…Read more

Whew, where to start with the Gold Coast Half Marathon. Traveling 15 hours to a different area of the world, different time zone, I was really unsure how this would go. I was already planning to go to Australia with or without running Goldie. Way back when, I…Read more

The rabbit Decade Collection is rabbit’s 10-year anniversary drop. Some anniversary collections are just a logo slapped onto the same gear. This one is fun! The official name is the rabbit Decade Edition. Either way, it celebrates ten years of rabbit, which is still lowercase and still just rabbit,…Read more

Run clubs are having a very public moment. Depending on where you live, that can mean 15 people outside a coffee shop, a few hundred runners taking over a city block, a running store demo with a shoe brand, or a group that brings out professional photographers. I…Read more

The 361 Miro Nude 2 and 361 Miro Nude ST sound like they should be almost the same shoe but the naming style isn’t really unique. 361 fast shoes typically have very similar names that it gets kind of confusing. They are both light, both fast, and both…Read more

The Saucony Triumph 24 is one of the more surprising updates of 2026. The Triumph has always been Saucony’s premium cushioned daily trainer, but some versions have felt heavy, overbuilt, or just a little too sleepy for the price. The Triumph 24 finally feels like Saucony remembered that…Read more

I have seen PYNRS floating around for a while so I was excited to try some of the gear. As a community driven brand, with direct ties to Boston it’s always fun to see more unique options pop up. A lot of brands say “I’m different” or “I’m doing things…Read more

The Peloton Bike is one of those pieces of fitness equipment everyone has an opinion about, even if they have never clipped into one. Some people think it changed home workouts. Some people think it is an overpriced spin bike with a screen. Both groups are partially right, which is…Read more

The 361 Miro Nude ST is the more training-friendly sibling to the 361 Miro Nude 2. The Miro Nude 2 is the ultralight racing shoe that weighs almost nothing and feels built for fast road racing. The Miro Nude ST takes some of that DNA and makes it…Read more

The 361 Miro Nude 2 is one of the more unique racing shoes on the market right now. At 138 grams, or 4.9 ounces, it feels closer to an old racing flat that has been adapted to the modern age. The 361 Miro Nude 2 is built for…Read more

I signed up for the Sugar Daddy 5K a few weeks ago, but with everything that happened, I was really not in the mood to run. Located in Santa Clarita, it’s one of the few races I can go to where I can sleep in my own bed…Read more

Are you looking for the best running shoes in 2026? Every year, running shoes get more confusing. More foam. More plates. More super trainers. More “daily trainers” that cost over $200…Yes, back in my day you could get a good daily trainer for $100…but that’s not now… I…Read more

The Mizuno Wave Rider 30 is a bigger update than I expected. For a shoe that has usually stayed in its lane year after year, the Wave Rider 30 gets a noticeable underfoot change while still keeping the daily trainer DNA. Mizuno kept the price at $150, kept…Read more

The Topo Specter 3 is one of the more interesting Topo updates coming in 2026. Topo has always been a little different from most brands. The fit is usually wider through the front, the drop stays lower, and the shoes tend to work best for runners who want…Read more

The Saucony Endorphin Pro 5 is here, and Saucony decided to refine instead of blow up the Endorphin Pro line again. After the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 changed almost everything, the Endorphin Pro 5 is mostly the same: fast, smooth, race-ready, and more approachable than some of the…Read more

One of my friends is a huge INTVL Running App fan so I knew I needed to try it out. Most running apps do the same basic thing. They track distance, pace, route, elevation, and time, then send the workout somewhere else. Most running apps are just digital…Read more

The Hoka Skyward X 2 is Hoka’s max-cushioned, carbon-plated super trainer made for daily running, long runs, recovery runs, and steady mileage. It sits in the same premium trainer category as shoes like the ASICS Superblast, Hoka Mach X, On Cloudmonster Hyper, and other high-stack running shoes that blur the…Read more

The Long Beach Classic 5K is usually a short course, and this year it was around 3.05. The course is flat and scenic, and it would make a pretty good PR course. I enjoy it because it’s a fun community race, and I like to do my cooldown on the…Read more

I was excited to try the Merrithew Split-Pedal Stability Chair. I’ve been on the hunt for a pilates chair since it’s my favorite piece of equipment. What makes this chair different is the split pedal design. Instead of one solid platform, each side moves independently unless you connect…Read more
