Austin Marathon SALE Feb 18th-20th

The Livestrong Austin Marathon is next weekend, February 20, and we're celebrating the best way we know how - BEER. No, that was a joke. (Really.) We're having a sale. Get warm and cold weather gear (you never know), nutrition products, 26.2 tees, and more. And for those of you lookin to get off your feet for a while, try life on two wheels with a Cannondale starter package or a heartbreakingly aero Cervelo P2 Carbon. Today is the day of love, people! And personally, we think an aerodynamic head tube is a little better than a stuffed bear.

Best of luck next weekend, and alright, alright, we weren't kidding about the beer. But only after we set our PR.

Zoot Shoes

Zoot Shoes.
Here is what we thought. Overall the shoes seem to be really comfy. The neutral shoe they make is a bit more like a light weight trainer with its low profile (reminds me of a Asics DS trainer). This shoe would be the better long distance race shoe. The light weight of the shoe is noticeable in quick turnover. The stability shoe offers more comfort and is great for the moderate pronator. I wouldn’t say it’s the best for the flat footed folk out there, hopefully next season they can create a shoe with a straighter last. The racer is a perfect 10k-half marathon shoe. It has enough cushioning for longer races, but its not the lightest and most flexible if you are looking for a fast 5k shoe. The built in elastic laces work great in keeping your foot in place and we didn’t notice in heel slippage. In short if you like a running shoe with a less is more feeling, low profile, and quick turnover feel then I would try these out. If you like the cushy (asics nimbus, adidas supernova cushion) then these would be a noticeable change. Due to the low profile feel, these are not a high milage kinda shoe.
