Just a couple months ago, we got to experience (at least visually) the wonder that is the NYC Marathon. One day, we hope to participate! But while we weren’t out there to cover or run the famed race, we have been afforded the opportunity to run in the same shoes as the 2022 NYC Marathon Winner – Sharon Lokedi -the UA Flow Velociti Elite! As you may remember, this was a pretty historic event as…
The HOVR Phantom 3 SE Storm from Under Armour continues to push forward their trainer designed for speed and comfort…and the wet outdoors. We have been putting a few miles in over the past few weeks and here are our initial thoughts. There are many corners a runner can cut when it comes to workout gear – cheaper shirts, uglier shorts, and maybe even some inexpensive accessories. But not the shoes. Never the shoes. And…
Releasing today, the HOVR Machina 3 from Under Armour continues to push forward their trainer designed for speed and comfort. We have been putting a few miles in over the past few weeks and here are our initial thoughts. Read all our posts about Under Armour here! Looks: In our review of the Machina 2, we were a little ho-hum on the looks. A quote like this isn’t generally great: As for the look –…
Under Armour has seemingly been on the cutting edge of apparel construction over the past few years. One such venture has been a Run Oregon reviewed performance sleepwear line – designed to encourage better rest and recovery. Then they teamed up with Celliant (the same technology partner with their sleepwear) to construct items that are designed to be worn when sweating via their Rush Line. And now, they have recently released their HeatGear Leggings –…
There are many corners a runner can cut when it comes to workout gear – cheaper shirts, uglier shorts, and maybe even some inexpensive accessories. But not the shoes. Never the shoes. While shoes are obviously important as it pertains to those you wear when running, it’s perhaps overlooked to have a good pair for other workouts as well. I would venture that for most of us, the majority of our workouts are on the…
Yesterday, May 1st, Under Armour began the UA All Out Mile Challenge for another year!! If you missed the last challenge or are unfamiliar with what this means, the All Out Mile is your chance to put the pedal to the metal and see what you are made of. Participants run a mile somewhere, (anywhere!) and then start a month-long training period to improve on their base time. Under Armour will provide you with tips…
Coming up this Spring, Under Armour is releasing an update to what I would call their premier performance running shoe – the Flow Velociti Wind 2 – following the 2021 launch of the first model. We have been putting a few miles in over the past few weeks and here are our initial thoughts. Looks: If we liked the visuals of the Flow Velociti Wind, we LOVE the look of the 2. It remains to…
It is pretty strange to be a runner who is watching the weather in hopes of a rainy day. But that was exactly my conundrum after receiving a pair of UA HOVR Infinite 3 Storm shoes. These babies were made for challenging puddles. I mean there is literally a paragraph on the shoe about being created for the exact weather we have so often in the Pacific Northwest. “This product is designed with water-resistant technology…
There are many corners a runner can cut when it comes to workout gear – cheaper shirts, uglier shorts, and maybe even some inexpensive accessories. But not the shoes. Never the shoes. And with so many options available, so many choices in not only brand but style, it’s hard to know where to start. Under Armour, as I’ve mentioned in several other reviews, has made great strides in every way in regard to running gear…
So things didn’t exactly go according to plan. I did the Under Armour All Out Mile. That was the easy part, if you can ever call anything related to running “easy.” But like with most things, the follow up is the hardest part. The training. It’s like eating right .. Anyone can give up ice cream for one day. But give it up day after day after day.. so much harder. Under Armour gave us…
