10 How to Green Your Running
The expression "runs like a girl" may have been an insult, but no longer! Especially when you consider that the running skirt, which seemed like a passing trend, is here to stay. Running gear giants like Brooks and New Balance sell skirts side by side with running shorts. And if you don't like shorts, but hate overheating when out for Read more
You might already take your own bags to the grocery store and keep your hot showers short, but there are always new ways to go green. Take running for instance. It's already fairly eco-friendly, but there is always room for improvement. Here are some simple ways to make your sneaker time a bit more green: Create eco-friendly racing habits: Many of us like to test our mettle among other runners, Read more
Brooks wants you to run, and now they're encouraging your kids to run too. This may seem cruel, but it sure gets those kids moving. Too bad there aren't cheesecake trucks or bacon-wrapped scallop trucks because this could totally work for grown-ups too! Read more
If you choose to run outside on a trail or sidewalk instead of using an electricity-driven treadmill, you're already doing your part to help the environment. You can do more though, with the help of Brooks. The brand has developed a new racing sneaker called the Green Silence. This red and yellow shoe may channel Ronald McDonald, but it is actually totally green. The heel cups are made with Read more
As the weather gets colder and the hours of daylight diminish, it's important to keep warm and visible while working out. This can also make layering tricky, which is why I love vests. This Brooks Nightlife Vest ($80) provides core warmth and heightens visibility through its fabric color and reflective highlights. The polyester microfiber fabric is water resistant, wind resistant, and Read more
We all know that Brooks makes great running shoes, but did you know they make great gear as well. The Powerpro Mesh Tank ($44) seems as engineered as their sneakers and I appreciate the attention to detail. Constructed from their Powerpro mesh, this top is designed for ventilation, breathability and moisture management - that's just a fancy way to say wicking. The fabric is even textured to Read more
Looking for something to wear to the opening of Spider-Man 3 this Friday? Or maybe you are participating in some of the events for Spider-Man Week in NYC and you don't want your feet to overheat? Well in either case, I have found the socks for you. The HVAC Racer by Brooks might just be the most engineered sock on the planet. Plus it looks like it is straight out of the wardrobe from the Read more
Some women are pretty particular about the brand of sneaker they wear. Whether you choose because of the style, fit, comfort, activity level, or price, nothing beats a great pairs of kicks. So, what's your favorite brand? Do you love Brooks because they have sneakers with great arch support? Or maybe you have really narrow feet, so New Balance sneaks fit you snug as a bug. Perhaps you love Read more
To some people, a sneaker is a sneaker. When you put in as much time at the gym and on the sidewalks as I do, a sneaker is so much more. I am loving the new Axiom 2 shoe ($90.00) from Brooks Running because it is a lightweight yet ultra supportive trainer that works with people who may (or do) have pronation tendencies. Its Diagonal Rollbar -- a wedge-shaped piece of high density foam that is Read more
