27. Running Shoe Traps to Avoid, Boilermaker 15k Recap, & “Run Hard, Long, Big and Firm”

Listen Later

The Size 15 Runner does a shoddy job outlining the biggest traps to avoid when buying running shoes; he recaps the 2024 Boilermaker 15k race in Utica, NY; and he debuts his questionable new book of memoirs: “Run Hard, Long, Big, and Firm.”



  • Avoiding Running Shoe Traps: There’s no more important decision in life than which running shoes to buy. We’ve all purchased running shoes we wish we hadn’t. To help runners avoid shoe buyer’s remorse, I’ve so graciously outlined the biggest decision traps to avoid.
    • Boilermaker 15k Recap: The motto of the Boilermaker 15k, the world’s premier 15k event, is “More than a race.” Truthfully, it made me scoff a bit when I read it on signage at the starting line. While that tagline may sound like a cliché, and indistinguishable from similar sentiments echoed by hundreds of other races, I discovered what that can maybe, possibly mean, during the 47th running of the iconic race.
      • Run Hard, Long, Big and Firm: I release my tell-all book of memoirs in which I spill the beans on the running industry’s deepest, darkest secrets they don’t want you to know. Plus, I share my biggest successes, and only my successes because The Size 15 Runner never fails.
