I review a lot of items at Run Oregon. One of the perks we get is getting our hands on the best running gear. Its always nice to keep the running closet stocked with the latest and greatest items. I thought I would highlight my favorite gear from January – March 2023. These are NOT the release date of the items – solely the timeframe that my review went live. I’d also note that it’s…
Obviously, with a name like Run Oregon, we are focused on running. But, as most PNWers are, we aren’t defined solely by our running prowess. We feel we are in the prime location for active exploration – whether that be running on the road, hiking on any number of trails, cross training in our local gym (or garage), or just being out and about in our beautiful state. We are big fans of our PNW…
The new Brooks Hyperion Max was one of the first available shoes in 2023. Check out our thoughts! See all our reviews from Brooks! Looks: The Brooks Hyperion Max has one of the more unique color combinations we have seen recently. At first glance, a cloudy green and red/orange combo seems like it should not work. But it sort of does. Toss in some gradual black accents on the upper that stretch from the ankle…
The Winter 2022 Run Within collection currently has added a few items in it: Sweatshirts Tights Shirts, Tanks & Crops Shorts Here’s a little bit more about the collection: Introducing the Run Within Collection — gear that works on the run, at the gym, and anywhere else your sweat sessions take you.

Brooks has done it again. I’ve jumped on the band wagon with both feet in Brooks and there’s no turning back now. I just reviewed the Brooks Ghost 15 (they are fantastic BTW) and now I’m here for the Levitate GTS 6. For Ghost lovers, these are really different but no less amazing, The Levitate shoe is considered the cornerstone of the Energize category, and the DNA AMP midsole compound is the reason why. See…

Many of my running friends know (and maybe you do too if you’ve read some of my previous shoe reviews,) that I’m a Brooks convert. Though I’ve always respected the brand, they really weren’t my jam until I tried my first pair of Glycerins, and there’s been no turning back since. I love Brooks, and they’ve now become my go-to shoe. But surprisingly, I’d never tried the Ghost, which is an extremely popular shoe among…
Brooks Running is a fantastic brand all year long, but the holidays might be my favorite time because that is when they have a limited time style that is perfect for the holidays (and however many days you want to use them afterwards). Personally, I think the best times for bringing out the sleigh bells are in the dull grays days of February or the ironic sunshine of August. This year, if you purchase a…
I’m just going to say it – Brooks makes some dang good running gear. We have been reviewing their line for years and often find it difficult to say a bad word about them. They have a variety of dark and warm weather options that provide a great combination of functionality and safety as the days are growing increasingly shorter and colder. We recently tried out few colder weather items and had this to say:…
