The Size 15 Runner uses his unimaginative imagination to consider what it’d be like if companies were honest about their bad shoe updates; he explains why ditching shoes in favor of wearing only socks can be quite beneficial on the run; and he inaccurately reflects on his marathon experiences to show how committing to a marathon can change your life, on and off the roads—and trails and sidewalks, but not treadmills. Treadmills suck.


  • Worst Running Shoe Updates: There’s nothing more exciting for runners than a great update to a running shoe. And, there’s nothing less exciting for runners than a terrible update to a running shoe. Unfortunately, I’m here to talk about the latter. Ready to discover your new least favorite shoes?
  • How the Marathon Can Change Your Life: With fall marathon training approaching, I thought I’d try and capture why the 26.2 mile-distance keeps me coming back despite the daunting undertaking. Simply put, committing to a marathon is committing to better oneself physically, mentally, and even spiritually—but certainly not emotionally.
  • Running in Socks: You foolishly fell for the barefoot running craze years ago. Then, after you got injured, or discovered how stupid you looked, you realized barefoot “shoes” were nothing more than a fad. So, now you’re happily riding on top of the max cushion running shoe wave. But, what if I told you, there’s an even better way to run? In socks!
