Kako Ice Trekkers Ultra Review [Product Discontinued]

December 29, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 10 Comments 

Every tourney needs a loser and iRunFar’s traction device throw down has one – the Kako Ice Trekker Ultra [Product discontinued]. The Ice Trekker Ultra did provide additional traction on ice, but its three competitors clearly outclassed it more or less across the board. In a crowded field of able competitors, leave the Kako’s debut [...]

Winter Running Traction Devices

December 28, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 6 Comments 

This past Friday, after 14 months of waiting, I finally got the chance to try the Kahtoola MICROspikes [iRF MICROspike preview]… and that’s not all. When I traveled north to visit my parents for the holidays, I threw three pairs of winter traction devices into my car just in case there was snow to be [...]

December 17, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 9 Comments 

“How to Run Trails!” That’s about as ambitious a post title as you’ll ever see here at iRunFar… but today we share resources from some masters of the sport that we’ve collected over the past few months. While we could throw in our two cents on how to run trails (and likely will), it would [...]

GreenLaces

December 11, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 3 Comments 

What happens when you combine an environmentally-conscious running blog, an overworked editor, and the holidays – a post about GreenLaces!

Gu Roctane Review

December 9, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 22 Comments 

If you hang around running stores, outdoor retailers, or sporting goods stores nearly as much as we do, then you’ve probably noticed Gu Roctane along side the other energy gels over the past few months. You’ve also likely noticed that it’s between 50% and 100% more expensive than the competition. As any personal insight we [...]

While you shouldn’t except a greeting card from iRunFar this holiday season, we’d like to introduce you to Far Gone Greetings and its line of running-related greeting cards.
