Spring Shoe Guide

Posted on 03/20/2012 by Thomas N.

Who doesn’t love Spring and who doesn’t love running shoes? We all need new kicks when the race season starts. So grab those old beat up winter trainers, take them down to your local running retailer and donate them for the next person. It’s time to treat yourself to some new foot rockets. Here are some of our favorites… The Newton Distance Trainer is one of my favorite re-tools of all the running shoes I have tried. Newton barely messed … Continue reading →

Gear Review: Yurbuds Ironman Series

Posted on 07/20/2011 by Kathy S.

Today we have two reviews of the Ironman Series Yurbuds. I’ve been there before, and I know a lot of you have also: on your run when one (or both) of your headphones conks out on you. It usually happens about 3-6 months into their lifespan. It’s for this reason that I continually buy cheap headphones. I know that buying the cheap brands doesn’t make much sense logically because quality is an assumed compromise, but I’ve struggled with expensive brands … Continue reading →

Rudy Project: Sterling Helmet review

Posted on 07/14/2011 by Kristen F.

Rudy Project: Sterling Cycling Helmet Review A short while ago I received and reviewed a race kit sent to me by Rudy Projects. It was a great experience and their race kit has become a staple in my usual ‘go-to’ training gear options.  There’s a lot to be said for well-made, reliable training gear that you can count on and the Rudy Projects products I reviewed exceeded all of my expectations. With that said,  you can imagine how thrilled I … Continue reading →

Posted on 05/23/2011 by Thomas N.

A little over a month ago a few members of the dailymile team each received a pair of Pearl Izumi shoe to review.  We tried out the Streak II and the IsoTransition models.  Reviewers were all asked the same questions.  Let’s start with the Streak II. According to Pearl Izumi: “The new Streak II has been completely overhauled this season to be even faster, lighter and more performance-oriented than ever.

Newton shoe review: Lady Isaacs vs. Gravity

Posted on 05/11/2011 by Melodie P.

Last June I started training for my first marathon. As I increased my training mileage, I developed a nasty case of plantar fasciitis that has plagued me ever since. I did everything I was ‘supposed’ to do to help remedy the problem: visited a podiatrist and a sports medicine doc, bought shoe inserts and custom orthotics, ART, cortisone shot, deep tissue massage, took time off, ultrasounds, and physical therapy. None of these relieved my symptoms. During this time I was … Continue reading →

gear review: Road ID

Posted on 03/14/2011 by Kathy S

Staying safe on the road or the trail is just as important as getting out there and running. Whether you’re running through a city at night, or on a trail by yourself, it’s important to take safety precautions like, no music, watch for traffic, run with a friend, tell someone your course and when you’ll be home, etc. But taking safety the extra mile can give runners a lot of peace of mind. That’s why having tools like Road ID … Continue reading →
