18. Run Like Nobody’s Watching, New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4, & Why Shoe Uppers Matter

The Size 15 Runner awkwardly debates whether runners should run like nobody (or no one) is watching; he reviews the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4; and he inadequately explains why shoe uppers actually matter.

• New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4: The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v3 was one of my least favorite running shoes in recent memory. I only racked up about 30 miles in the shoe before I racked the shoe on my shoe rack, or, rather, in the heaping pile of other shoes on my closet floor. What a difference a yearly update makes! Find out why v4 has become one of my favorites. Or don't.
• Run Like Nobody’s Watching: You’ve heard the saying, “Dance like nobody’s watching.” As a running nerd, I thought about the idea of running like nobody's watching. What would that look like? Do I run like no one is watching? Is it even possible to run, dance, or do anything without either consciously or subconsciously altering your behavior in the presence of others?
• Why Shoe Uppers Matter: While runners base their opinion of a running shoe primarily on how it feels underfoot, the way the top of the shoe feels is sometimes just as important. Don’t buy it? Well, I'll make you buy it!
