The 𝗦𝗸𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼 has been in the rotation for a minute now, but I’m still reaching for it over shoes twice the price. 🏎️💨

I call this the “Miata” of running shoes because it’s just pure fun. It’s snappy, lightweight (only 7.6 oz!), and honestly one of the best “in-between” shoes for when you want to go fast but don’t want to beat up your $300 race day super shoes.

If you’ve been on the fence about Skechers Performance, or you’re looking for a budget-friendly carbon trainer that actually lasts, you need to check this review out.

In my latest 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼, I’m breaking down:

🧪 Why the Hyper Arc rocker still feels so good.

🎨 A closer look at the “Coral” vs “Black Multi” colorways.

🏃‍♀️ Why it’s my go-to for mid-week threshold repeats.

I’ve always wanted to build a real running news site. 🗞️
The kind that actually reports on the sport—not just reacts to it.

When I was younger, I loved journalism.
But I never thought it was something I could actually do — a language barrier will do that to you. So I didn’t chase the title. I just kept showing up.

And somewhere between covering major marathons, interviewing elites, testing shoes, and being on the ground year after year, it hit me:

I was already doing the journalistic work. I just didn’t have a place for it to live.

That’s how MarathonJournal.com came to be.

If you care about what’s actually happening in the sport — not just headlines, hype, or hot takes — this is where it lives now.

I’m about to say something controversial... 🤫 I might have just found a $180 shoe that officially replaces my $300 Alphaflys. 😱

Meet the HiWings Pro by HiRacer. I took this flashy, gold-plated “sleeper” shoe out for 45 miles of high-speed testing to see if it’s actually a marathon-day contender or just hype. The results? My racing rotation will never be the same. 👟✨

Why do we host a run camp in Kenya? Because you can’t truly learn the “Kenyan mindset” from a book or a screen. 📖❌

We just dropped a new episode of the MarathonRunning Podcast where Coach Hugo pulls back the curtain on why this small village produces more champions than anywhere else on Earth. We’re diving deep into the technical benefits of altitude and the specific mental tools Hugo teaches his elite athletes to conquer the world stage.

But we aren’t just sharing these stories—we’re inviting you to live them.

We are officially hosting our next Run Camp in Kenya from February 16–25, 2026. 🇰🇪

We created this camp to give runners of all levels—whether you’re a 15-minute miler or chasing a BQ—direct access to:

The “We Culture”: Experience why the community-first approach beats the “lone wolf” mentality every single time.

Scientific Insights: Learn how elite training methods can be scaled for your own efficiency and recovery at home.

Mental Toughness: Get the exact “mental tools” Hugo uses to help athletes push through the toughest miles of a marathon.

Total Immersion: See what life is really like in Iten, where world-record holders pass you on your morning jog.

Stop wondering what the elites are doing and come see it for yourself.

Am I the only one who gets nervous just opening a ballot link? 😅📩

Valencia 2026 is officially on the horizon, and the ballot just went live. Whether you’ve been chasing a sub-3, sub-4, or just want to feel that legendary blue carpet under your feet, this is where it starts.

I just dropped a video on YouTube breaking down exactly how the new draw works—because the last thing I want is for any of you to miss out on a technicality (heads up: there’s a €5 card hold you need to know about!).

I made a YouTube video breaking down why carbon-plate shoes may get a lot cheaper in the next few years.

Spoiler alert- lots of amazing companies coming to the USA! Not hype — just what’s actually happening in the shoe market and what it could mean for runners.

Coach Todd from Smart Approach Training breaks down why runners often feel off after a big race—physically, mentally, and hormonally—and shares strategies to reset both body and mind. Learn why rest doesn’t mean regression, how to set mini goals, and why winter training can be the key to long-term progress.
