Hoka One One: Shoe Review
When I describe these shoes to other people, I usually say things like, “They are as close to riding a bike as you can get with a running shoe,” “They allow the foot to perform as if you were running without shoes at all,” “These are the bomb,” and “Finally! A running shoe that will change the industry for the better.” Continue reading

Running Injury and Recovery: Aching Quadriceps
“… It has taken months for my lower quads to stop aching when I run. I’ve never had that problem before (I did 146 miles at the Across the Years 72-hour run). They are still not 100%. I am wondering if I tore them down a lot more than I realized during the run. I did take 800mg of ibuprofen at night and in the morning. I have heard that can cause rhabdomyolysis, which breaks down skeletal tissue/muscle. What do you think happened?” Continue reading
Soft Tissue Running Injury or Stress Fracture?
Recently I’ve started getting bad pains on the insides of my ankles and am assuming it is shin splints (maybe a stress fracture?). I’m thinking new shoes may help (getting Newtons) to help my over-pronation, which could be the cause of it. Continue reading

Chronic Sore Achilles Heel
Completed my first 50K in May. After a few months, started having trouble with chronic sore Achilles heel issue in right leg. I run every day (have run outside every day for 2,000 days in a row). Fitness level is still good as I train for my first 50 Miler, but running with (thru) some bothersome pain that changes my gait a bit. Changed shoes, tried more trails, cut back mileage some (down to 35-40 a week), ice after runs. Ideas other than breaking my streak? Thanks. Continue reading
