Best Time to Go Running: As an anxious person, I tend to worry about the smallest things that have no impact on my life. That’s, perhaps, no more evident than when I’m figuring out when to run. Do I go running in the morning? At night? What about the middle of the day? It’s ironic that something so enjoyable can cause me unneeded stress. To help runners like me, I’m sharing my “expert” opinion on the best time to run.
Do Outsoles Really Matter? It’s the most overlooked and underappreciated component of the running shoe. It’s not the sexiest or most exciting part, it gets the dirtiest and wears down the quickest, and it’s the only part you can’t see while running. But the next time you’re in the market for your next shoe, you'd be wise to give the bottom of the shoe a good, hard look, in addition to the midsole and upper.
ASICS Gel-Nimbus 25 Review: ASICS says this shoe will make you feel like you’re landing on clouds, and others will describe the shoe as pillowy soft. Personally, the shoe reminds me more of a blanket — a security blanket. It’s a shoe runners can depend on to provide a supremely comfortable run with ample protection from the pavement and fatigue. Find out why it's one of my favorites.
CSI: Running Shoes returns with a season premiere so shocking, it'll leave you on the edge of your toes. Unless you're a heel-striker, then you'll be on the edge of your heels.
