Lately, every running brand and their mother are dramatically increasing the amount of midsole foam underfoot and naming their shoes some derivative of BIG. Find out why itâs a problematic trend.

Only the worst things imaginable. (And, no, not all who run can be considered athletes.)

The Size 15 Runner takes the unauthorized liberty of amending the U.S. Running Constitution and describes the significance of the 10 Running Shoe Amendments; he totally rips off Peter Parkerâs Uncle Ben by explaining how, âWith great running power, comes great responsibility;â and he provides expert running commentary on amateur runnersâ running.
10 Running Shoe Amendments: The U.S. government passed sweeping running shoe legislation in response to exorbitant price hikes in running shoes and the accompanying whining by millions of running citizensâlegal running citizensâthe government assures you. What does it mean for runners like you? Use the Power of Running for Good: All our time spent running could be regarded as self-centered. Except, running is the best form of self-care, and the health benefits we enjoy change us; we become better versions of ourselves, enhancing our relationships with othersâor so we like to tell ourself and anyone who will listen. There are, however, many opportunities to make a positive impact on others while running. Best Running Commentary: Letâs face it: your runs are boring.

The Size 15 Runner doesnât stick to sportsâhe sticks to politics and gets stuck being politically incorrect; he not-so-humbly humble brags about going from couch sitting to marathon running; and he goes covertly undercover to discover how the most important part of a shoeâthe nameâis chosenâŠonly to discover itâs the least important part of a shoe.
How Shoes are Named: As a running shoe geek, Iâvealways wanted to know how companies decide to name their pairs. If I canât be a fly on the wall, Iâll put my phone underneath the conference room table to secretly record their meeting. Politics in Running: There is a great divide in the U.S. and thereâs an extremely crucial decision coming that American runners of all ethnicities, races, religious beliefs, and sexual orientations will need to make. Their choice could very well decide the countryâs fate for/four years to come. Will you choose to be on the left side or the right sideâŠâŠof the road while running? From Benchwarmer to Marathon Runner: I never dreamed Iâd be running marathons. I mean, I never thought Iâd even be running. Who chooses to run for fun? But, thankfully, I was introduced to the sportâor, rather, forced to go running by my dadâat just the right time in my life.

The Size 15 Runner foolishly uses a foolish method to determine the top running shoe brands; he details in not-so-great detail how the greatest race youâve never heard of was created; and he presents quick and easy meal solutions that he takes way too long to present.
Best Running Shoe Brands: Which running shoe companies have the best brands? Itâs a subjective question that clearly has an objective answer. Letâs run through the top companies together and see if we canât determine it. Spoiler: We canât. 'My Best Friends Are Cows' Race: Sometimes running motivation can be hard to find. Actually, most times itâs hard to find; running can really suck. Add in a global pandemic that cancels races and it becomes nearly impossible. Hear the story of how my brother made it possible for friends and family to race during COVID-19 and find hope and, I guess, motivation, too.

Boston Marathon Qualifying: Despite the cultural and historical significance of the race, the important role it plays in the running world, and my own desire to someday toe the starting line in Hopkinton and pass the finish line on Boylston Street, I wonât be heartbroken if I never get to run Heartbreak Hill. I may be bitter, but I wonât be heartbroken. Is Heel Striking Bad? After all these years, I thought I was landing with my forefoot or even midfoot, not my dreaded heel! Yuck! This news was very hard to swallow. Heel striking is no way to run!

The Size 15 Runner has a surprisingly challenging time determining his shoe size despite his name; he puts forth shaky evidence for why Strava is the best social media app for runners; and he reviews the Brooks Glycerin 21, available in four mouthwatering varieties.

Avoiding Running Shoe Traps: Thereâs no more important decision in life than which running shoes to buy. Weâve all purchased running shoes we wish we hadnât. To help runners avoid shoe buyerâs remorse, Iâve so graciously outlined the biggest decision traps to avoid. Boilermaker 15k Recap: The motto of the Boilermaker 15k, the worldâs premier 15k event, is âMore than a race.â Truthfully, it made me scoff a bit when I read it on signage at the starting line.
