Xterra triathlon took place the last weekend of February. Runner’s World gear editor tested some new equipment, blistered his feet a won a case of beer.

The last leg of a triathlon is always the run.

The first sighting of Salomon’s tentative steps into some form of road running were taken last year in their testing week in the South of France.

It’s coming along. ‘Along’ in this case means along a grassy section of promenade in the Vibram 5 Fingers, up a steep as can be mountain ascent with the Nike Zoom Waffle 7’s, cruising a fast flat stretch of road in the Nike Zoom Streak 3, becoming a human Guinea Pig at the Sports Science [...]

I was asked to pop along to the Sports Science Institute to have some ‘stuff done to me’. Ok so I am always curious to see what these lab dudes are up to and know they have some incredible toys to play with, so I agreed to head out to get involved in the testing on Friday afternoon.

It’s been two since my last confession. Confessions of minimalist running that is and I have some secrets to share.

As the Gear Guy for Runners World I have tested out the Vibram Five Fingers a couple of times and always enjoyed the product more than I expected. I test a lot of shoes and gear though and have never actually done a long term test with the five fingers.
