March 14, 2010 · Filed Under Shoes & Gear
Spring is approaching and with it warm weather… and the usual Runner’s World trail shoe guide for 2010. 200 runners tested a long list of shoes and of those, RW Lab picked up those considered by them the best shoes for this upcoming trail running season. The nine shoes are: Adidas Response Trail 16, Brooks Cascadia 5, Columbia Ravenous Trail, La Sportiva Raptor, Merrell CTR Cruise, Montrail Rockridge, New Balance 876, Patagonia Tsali and The North Face Single Track. Below you can take a look at the videos of the ‘Editor’s Choice’ and the ‘Best Debut’: the Adidas Response Trail 16 and The North Face Single Track.

Anton Krupicka Goes over the 50-thousand Mile Mark
March 9, 2010 · Filed Under Interviews
Anton Krupicka started logging his runs in 1995. After 15 years on the trails he has now logged over 50,000 miles. That was the perfect excuse for the folks at Good4sports Blog to interview the ultra runner from Boulder, Colorado. Great insight on how he started keeping track of his runs, how he does it (mostly just estimations based on how long he runs and the terrain he goes over!) and many other goodies about his life as a runner. Check out the interview here.

Hal Koerner Interviewed
March 1, 2010 · Filed Under Interviews
‘Rogue Valley Runners owner takes it to the limit‘ is the heading of a recent article at Ashland Daily Tidings, a website dedicate to local news. With a title like this one, the article could not make reference anyone else than Hal Koerner. The article is a short interview with the Ashland resident ultra runner, winner of the past 2 editions of the Western States 100. If you’re curious about how he went from working at Seattle Running Company to being an owner of a running store, a race director of several events and the 5th placer on the 2009 Ultrarunning Magazine’s Runners of the Year, head over to dailytidings.com.

Site News: Elite Trail Runner/Bloggers at a Glance
February 23, 2010 · Filed Under Site News
First, let me apologize for the lack of updates for this past few weeks. From (nearly) a post a day to a couple (or less) updates a week has turned the site into more of a “trail running miscellaneous stuff” than a “trail running news” site. But it all has a reason. I’m putting lots of efforts into a new personal venture and that cuts down radically the spare time I have to dedicate to TRS. I will soon talk about that trail running related project but for now, bear with me if updates are not as frequent as they should.
Ok, let’s get down to the news. There’s a new section on the site called Elite Trail Bloggers, which you can access from the link on the top menu. It’s actually not something completely new but rather an improvement. The small section with links to the blogs of a few runners (like Karl Meltzer or Dean Karnazes) which was on the right sidebar, has now disappeared and turned into a new section for itself. There you will have links to the latest posts from elite trail and ultra runners so you can quickly check at a glance what’s hot in the trail/ultra scene. Right now it has a dozen runners (alphabetically sorted) but I will be adding more all the time. I also plan to sort the links to show the most recent ones on top of the page, but that will require some extra work with the php code.
If you have any suggestions on who else you would like to be on the list, just drop the name and the website below on the comments. I hope this new section will be useful for all you loyal TRS readers. Let me know!

Here’s a couple of podcasts I’ve stumbled upon lately and that I believe might be a good listening for those boring treadmill runs:
Humans Were Born To Run Barefoot: Audio from National Public Radio (All Things Considered) about a study on barefoot running: “Anthropologist Dan Lieberman, one of the proponents of the “human runner” school, concludes that we do it [running] better without shoes.” [3 min 49 sec]
An Interview with Liza Howard: interview on Enduranceplanet with the 2010 Rocky Raccoon 100 champion: “how did she cover the distance in 15 hours and 45 minutes to finish as the women’s champion and second overall? ” [15 min 03 sec]
