Socks, really? Who gets excited about socks? I can't say I get as excited for socks as I do for shoes, but I do love my socks. I have searched through laundry baskets for up to a half hour looking for the best pair for a run. I save certain socks for my big weekend [...]

When Pearl Izumi contacted Believe in the Run about testing some of their new 2012 products, I was super excited!  A few weeks ago, their Women's Pro Series Fly Split Shorts, which come in Black, True Red and lime, arrived.  With spring in the air, I was antsy to give them a try.   Because of [...]

By Steve Taylor The following is a point (mfg) counter-point (Steve T.) review of the running accessory Kuncklelights. Point:  Knuckle Lights™ are worn on the front of your hands, in a perfect position to light your path and be seen by traffic.  Counter-Point:  All true so long as you run with your arms bent at [...]

Best In Gear: Traditional Trainer goes to the Saucony ProGrid Triumph 9. Every mile in these shoes has been great. After more than 200 miles the shoe is holding up and has very little wear on the tread. I am somebody who can tear up a shoe, so I am really impressed with how they [...]

Jenny's Review  If there's a product out there claiming to aid in my recovery, I'm listening. I had the pleasure of trying Tommie Copper's compression shirt ,  calf sleeves, and full finger gloves.

Here in Baltimore, it doesn't snow all that much (other than a bad winter every few years), but we get a lot of that wintry mix stuff, which is even more difficult to run on than pure snow.  I despise the treadmill, so I had been looking for something to allow me to run those [...]

If you are looking for the jacket James Bond would wear to go running, I have found it.  The ashmei soft-shell running jacket might be the finest piece of running gear in fit and finish that I have ever come across. Even before I put the jacket on, I notice the craftsmanship that went into [...]

This past winter, I had the misfortune (though, perhaps in the long run it was a blessing) of dealing with a hamstring injury. Cross-training didn't help with the recovery. Physical therapy gave the tools to help minimize future risk of hamstring issues, but really didn't help much with the short term recovery either.  It was [...]

Over a year ago when I was training for the GORE-TEX® TransRockies Run (GTTRR,) I purchased a Nathan HPL #20 Race Vest. During my training I found the vest to be a solid piece of gear and a staple on my long runs. Before purchasing the HPL #20, I used a CamelBak M.U.L.E. The M.U.L.E. seemed [...]
