Salomon Fast Wing Hoodie 2 Gear Review (Lottery)
 
I first came across this jacket when I borrowed it from a friend during my Bruce Trail thru run adventure and I new it was the perfect jacket for me!  It held up in windy, rainy weather and helped me get through a 15 plus hour day on […]

What seems to be a continually “try-out” relationship is never an easy task when it comes to finding that perfect sock for all conditions. There are so many sock choices for Running/Athletics; from Fox River to Smart Wool to Icebreaker (which are all fantastic brands). On a personal level, for a guy, I have chick feet! […]

They are the best pair of running socks that I have ever run in.  I was fortunate enough this year to have won a voucher to buy four pairs of Fox River socks.  I chose to purchase the Fox River Velocity Ankle Light. The label said that they are a wick and dry sock that […]

As the snow finally comes down on our fair city and the cold weather pushes the thermostat lower, the need for warmer clothing is finally realized.  For many people, they quickly layer up on the legs and upper body and then follow it by the head and hands.  The forgotten item is socks.  Being a […]

We knew it would come sooner or later, and thankfully later than the last few years: the first cold run of the dreaded winter running season. If there is one aspect I despise the most about running in the cold it would be cold […]

CW-X is known in the industry for having some of the best compression clothing on the market.  I had always heard great things about their products, but held off on purchasing them due to the high price.  There are many styles of CW-X compression clothing to choose from and I would recommend reading […]

Ok, this is going to sound like a commercial but I can’t help it!  Finally, finally, I have found a pair of socks that work for me!!!  Fox River Socks is where it’s at!
Have you tried many different kinds of socks both cheap and expensive for your […]

As Team Running Free members know, and non-members ought to know, one of the greatest perks that comes along with being a member of the Team is being able to take part in the annual team lottery. This is the vehicle by which members get one of their most substantial giveaways for the year.
This year, […]

It’s that time of year again where we are forced to spend a great deal of time running in the dark (or worse yet on treadmills!) For me the cold and dark outside usually trumps treadmill running. Unfortunately an unavoidable evil of this is exposure to traffic while running in the dark. […]

 Fox River offers amazing quality products at reasonable prices.I came across this company a few years back when I was looking for a good sport sock for running. They are a team running free sponsor which is what initially lured me to them, but the quality and comfort is what has made me a continued […]

Due to the silly number of races I ran last year, I earned a valuable first pick at the team lottery and naturally chose a Mizuno product voucher. Arnold at Mizuno has been very supportive and to say I am a loyal fan of Mizuno products would be an understatement. But please trust me, if […]

    As part of the plan to buy gear that actually works instead of making do. Looked again to the masters of filth riding.. the Brits.
Finally got my hands on a pair of Altura Attack shorts . And of course in the only acceptable colour for cycling….black. And hardly had they arrived did they get […]

As we move firmly into shorts weather and the cold weather gear gets put to the back of the closet I thought I should write about a new(ish) product for us fella’s,the 3/4 length tight.
Should we just call them Manpri’s? Arnold at Mizuno Canada thinks so!Can a man get away with wearing 3/4 tights?My wife […]

Before the cold weather finally(hopefully) leaves us,I thought it prudent to write about my newest addition to my cold weather clothing arsenal.
Most running tops if not all  promote the idea  of wicking away moisture to keep the body warm.The Breath Thermo is the first that I’ve worn,and I have a lot of various brands,that really […]

Let me start off by saying that I am not all that tech-savvy when it comes to gear. I love gear, but I don’t get all that excited about knowing the intimate details of the latest technology. But I am very interested in what works and what helps me to perform better. So I will […]

It seems that the newest trend in athletic gear these days is tagged with the word compression.  You hear it in any sport where endurance and speed is involved.  The sport industry has responded by creating compression gear that covers you from your neck to your toes.  I jumped on the trend by trying out one […]

It is probably safe to assume that most, if not all, of the people who will read this have been to a running store (hopefully Running Free!) at some point in their lives, which means that you are probably at least dimly aware of the vast quantity of products out there that claim to provide […]
