running, thanks to the ultra-reliable Vibram Mega Grip sole.

this European trail shoe stands out from the competition. From its

materials shoe offers a seamless fit and Ortholite insole for optimal
support. Weighing in at just 10.6 oz, it’s impressively lightweight,
making it ideal for both entry-level and elite runners.

September 28, 2024 Episode 82: The Harsh Truth About Altra Olympus 6: Do Not Buy
Discover the harsh reality behind the Altra Olympus 6 in my latest
video. As an avid runner and longtime fan of Altra footwear, I've
experienced every version since the Olympus 3. Unfortunately, the
Olympus 6 disappoints. With an increase in weight and a poorly executed
redesign, this shoe no longer feels like the neutral companion runners
have come to love. The addition of the Achilles pillow and changes to
the structure make it uncomfortable and overpriced at $185. Despite the
"improvements," the shoe fails to deliver on the trail.

these shoes promise a responsive and comfortable experience for all
runners. My son and I tested their three models—the Waya URC, Maikoh,
and Honi—all offering lightweight designs and breathable uppers. Despite
the stiffer heel, these shoes excel in comfort and adaptability,
perfect for road, trail, or gym activities.

December 14, 2023 Episode 78: Blister Prevention For Runners (Hot Spots)
Discussion about preventing blisters or hot spots during running or other endurance sports. I talk about shoes, socks, lubes, and treatment if blisters do surface during a race.
Blisters are most often caused by skin being damaged by friction or heat. Certain medical conditions also cause blisters to appear. The damaged upper layer of skin (epidermis) tears away from the layers beneath and fluid (serum) collects in the space to create a blister.
