This week on Runnah, I’m sharing my full race review of the 2025 26.TRUE Marathon, held on Saturday, April 19th. This wasn’t just a run—it was a movement. Designed to spotlight the vibrant, diverse neighborhoods of Boston, 26.TRUE is an unsanctioned 26.2-mile tour through the real Boston, celebrating communities too often overlooked during traditional marathon weekend.

From the start line to the final stretch, the city came alive. It felt like all of Boston rose up to carry us forward. I’m talking about the electric atmosphere, the immaculate vibes, the energy on the course—and yes, a few things that could’ve used a boost (looking at you, bathroom situation 👀).

Whether you ran it, watched it, or are curious about the future of inclusive running events, tune in for my reflections on what made this race so powerful, what could be improved, and why this is a marathon that matters.

I laced up a pair of Altra Torin 4 Plush for a first-run review, and let me tell you—I was ready for some zero-drop, max-cushion magic. And at first? Pure bliss. But then I took a closer look and thought… Wait, did something take a bite out of these already?! Here’s the deal: I bought these used, put 8 miles on them, and now I have serious questions about durability. The ride? Smooth. The fit? Dreamy. The lifespan? Uh… TBD, but it’s not looking great. I’m giving them a 4/10 for durability, but is that enough to scare me away? Or will I keep rolling the dice with these plushy bad boys?

Tune in for my first-run impressions, the good, the bad, and whether these shoes will last—or end up as another victim of the shoe-eating monster lurking in my closet.

You're doing great! I'm proud of you! <3

Welcome back to Shoe Eating Monster, where I push shoes past their breaking point so you don’t have to! This episode is a big one—the PUMA ForeverRun Nitro 1 has officially earned its spot in the “Over 100 Miles Club”, meaning it survived my relentless mileage test better than most. With over 125 miles logged, these shoes have proven their worth with Nitro foam cushioning, killer traction, and rock-solid stability.

I’m giving them a 9/10 for durability—the midsole is still bouncy, the ride is smooth, and they feel as stable as ever. But no shoe is perfect. The outsole is starting to show some wear, the forefoot runs tight, and the 10mm drop might not be for everyone. The good news? This model is on sale for just $80, making it one of the best deals out there for a reliable daily trainer.

So, is the ForeverRun Nitro built for the long haul, or did it just barely survive? Tune in to find out!
