Gait analysis- Nike Edition
If you want to start running the best piece of advice I can give you is to go and get a “Gait Analysis” at a specialist retailer like Sweatshop or Runners Need. Over my next few posts I will be analysing my gait analysis in various brands of running shoes looking at all categories, from Neutral to […]
Nike Flyknit Zoom Agility
I’ve been waiting for the Nike Flyknit Zoom Agility to release for what feels like forever. I’m already a big fan of the zoom agility, a women’s training shoe with the innovative Hex-Zoom outsole, and as soon as I heard they’d be releasing a Flyknit version in that colourway I knew I had to have them. […]
The Battle Of The Black Caps: Essential Running Accessories
Those that know me well will know that I very seldom leave home without a hat. It’s a vicious cycle really; the persistent wearing of caps and beanies thins the hair and recedes the hairline, but the thinning and the receding of said harline simply causes one to turn to the hat… Baldness aside, I […]

That’s just the way it is. Usually there isn’t […]
Next Level Layering
December 23rd 2014, in Ruka, Kuusamo, Finland. It’s so beautiful outside that it feels like a fairytale, but it’s also -24C degrees with wind chill -31C. For me this is normal for winter, as I’m born and raised in Finland. But for many, as I’ve understood, this is far from normal. So how am I […]
Nike Air Max 2015 Reflective
Oh. My. Days. Never, ever, ever, have so many boxes been checked on a shoe for me. Ever. Not to too easily dispense the hyperbole, but these certified bangers put the HYPE in hyperbole so allow it fam! There’s not much I can say about this shoe that the pictures don’t do themselves except that […]
adidas launch the adizero Prime Boost
Knitted footwear has proven to be pretty popular amongst the style conscious runners amongst us (I am a fully signed up member to the style before safety philosophy). It fits the performance bill, is allegedly more eco-friendly (based on more efficient methods of production) and looks HELLA FRESH! But what’s special about the adizero Prime Boost? […]
