How do I pick a marathon that suits me?

Match the course profile and climate to your strengths. Flat/cool = PR-friendly; hilly/heat = challenging but scenic. Check cutoffs, crowd support, and logistics.

When should I register?

Popular races sell out months in advance. Aim to register 6-9 months out; majors often use lotteries with specific windows.

What’s a “BQ-friendly” marathon?

Courses that are flat or gently downhill, cool weather, and well-organized pacing.

SPIbelt vs FlipBelt: Which One’s Actually Better?

How We Test

We’ve run hundreds of miles in our products and focus on value at every price point.

How do I choose the right running shoe?

Start with your typical distance and surface, then pick neutral vs. stability based on past injuries/overpronation. Fit should be snug in the midfoot with a thumb’s width in the toe box.

How long do running shoes last?

Most last 300-500 miles. Replace when the outsole is smooth, cushioning feels flat, or you notice new aches.

Do I need different shoes for training and race day?

Yep – PDF links under each post.
