iRunFar Summer Road Trip #1 -The Penske Chronicles

iRunFar Summer Road Trip #1 -The Penske Chronicles

October 30, 2009 by Bryon Powell · 3 Comments 

I started my summer by picking up my life (and iRunFar world headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia moving it to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in California in two transcontinental road trips.

Ultimate Direction Bottle With Kicker Valves Review

October 21, 2009 by Bryon Powell · 29 Comments 

What’s the surest way to know that a gear reviewer really loves a product? See them buy the gear full-priced with their own hard earned money. Two weeks prior to the Marathon des Sables this spring I walked into a local running store and bought two 26-ounce Ultimate Direction bottles with kicker valves ($10). If [...]

Merino Buff Review by Elyse Braner

October 19, 2009 by Bryon Powell · 4 Comments 

On a few of my maintenance runs during the cool mornings of March, I decided to deviate from my normal ponytail and ear warmers and try the Wool Buff 100% Merino headband ($27).

October 8, 2009 by Bryon Powell · 23 Comments 

“Hey, Bryon, can you give me a lift back to my car in Tahoe City?” queried Sean Meissner, not long after winning the Lake Tahoe Marathon two Sunday’s ago. I quickly replied, “Sure,” as I was headed that way to help out with Kilian Jornet’s running of the Tahoe Rim Trail as part of his [...]
