In this episode of Shoe Eating Monster, I dive into a unique and much-needed innovation in the footwear world: Cadence Adaptive Shoes, designed specifically for individuals with foot drop and mobility challenges.
I break down my experience with the shoesâwhat they do very well, and what you might want to consider before lacing them up. Spoiler: they are LOUD and super slippery at first, but with a little time to adjust, they could be a game-changer for those who need support and adaptability in every step.
At $200, theyâre an investment, but the functionality is there. Plus, you can take 10% off with the code JULIANNA10 at checkout.

Fit, feel, and who these shoes are for
First impressions vs. after a week of wear

In this episode, I (Julianna!) share the story of my first-ever ultramarathonâthe Watuppa 50Kâand the unforgettable day that became a core memory.
From start to finish, this race was filled with so much joy, gratitude, and love. I had the honor of running with my longtime friend Ben and my new friend Andy, whose presence made the miles fly by. Nicole came out to spectate and support, and I felt so deeply cared for every step of the way.
I talk about the training, the emotions of the day, and the overwhelming sense of community and connection that carried me through. Crossing the finish line in first place with a time of 5:02:05 was incredibleâbut the real prize was how full my heart felt. (Okay, and the wooden stump medal is pretty epic too!)
If youâre looking for a well-organized, beautiful, and truly special ultra experience, I highly recommend the Watuppa 50K. Learn more or sign up here: https://www.northeastracers.com/watuppa/
To everyone in my running life and beyond: thank you. I felt all your love with me out there. This episode is for you. đ

In this very special episode of Runnah, I flip the mic on myself to kick off our first-ever series on running with chronic illness. I am talking about real-deal stuff like IBD-C, colon surgery, GI blockages, rectopexy (Google it... or maybe donât), and how she learned to calculate port-o-potties per mile like a pro.
This isnât about glossy, perfect milesâitâs about the messy, gritty, deeply human ones. I share how I chucked perfection in the "f*ck-it bucket," laced up, and found joy on the run again.
If youâve ever run with a diagnosis, a flare-up, or just a whole lot going onâthis oneâs for you. đ
I am planning a mini-series on this topic, and I really want to hear from you! Got a story about running with a chronic illness or invisible struggle? Send it to [email protected] and if I get enough, Iâll do a whole episode reading and celebrating your stories.

This week on Runnah, Iâm sharing my full race review of the 2025 26.TRUE Marathon, held on Saturday, April 19th. This wasnât just a runâit 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. Iâm talking about the electric atmosphere, the immaculate vibes, the energy on the courseâand yes, a few things that couldâve used a boost (looking at you, bathroom situation đ).
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 youâI 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?! Hereâs 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 itâs not looking great. Iâm 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 lastâor end up as another victim of the shoe-eating monster lurking in my closet.

Welcome back to Shoe Eating Monster, where I push shoes past their breaking point so you donât have to! This episode is a big oneâthe PUMA ForeverRun Nitro 1 has officially earned its spot in the âOver 100 Miles Clubâ, 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.
Iâm giving them a 9/10 for durabilityâthe 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!
