My 2011 Running Favorites-Shoes, Apparel, Gear, and Trails

2011 was the year shoe heel to toe ratios dropped all over the place.  From road to trail I mostly ran in 4-9mm heel to toe drop shoes. While not a great competitive year, my legs felt great, no more hamstring soreness and rapid recovery from run to run.

Brooks PureFlow



Reviewed here. I found racing and race recovery in the PureFlow to be a pleasure.

Brooks PureFlow-On Snow

15 miler on thin hard pack snow on a cold clear day in Park City. Incredible blue bird day. PureFlow was just fine in terms of traction on everything except the steeps. Don't think it will be great on ice. I now have about 300 miles of wonderful injury and soreness free running on my first pair of PureFlow. Soon I will get a new pair and outfit this pair with roofing screws for winter all terrain
