A Word from Tom Caughlan

I aim to inform other runners about the best gear on the market, which I hope moves the industry and running technology forward in a sustainable way. The rare fact that at iRunFar we only write reviews of the gear we love, while passing on a lot of other items we test, makes iRF the most objective reviews in the industry. My personal interests outside of running include all types of cycling, playing guitar, and music.
