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 [...]

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.

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

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 [...]
