SHOE REVIEWby Cregg Weinmann

Trail Shoes Winter 2015–16Here’s our semi-annual look at a sampling of shoes designed to grip and tame trails: some for training, others for faster running. The mix includes 5 new models and 3 updates. Trails vary considerably, and not surprisingly so do trail shoes. It’s a good idea to match your shoes to the running you’ll be doing. If you like protection on the roads, start with Responsive Trail shoes. If you like speedier Performance shoes on the road, Performance Trail may the best place to start. As always, this review is a starting point in your search for your best trail shoes. Follow it up with the help of a Specialty Running retailer whenever possible. And don’t forget to check www.runningproductreviews.com for periodic updates and special features.

361º Ortega $120� e new 361º Ortega brings the brand’s technology to the trail. � e upper is closed mesh with no-sew welded overlays supporting the shoe, an extended saddle that’s light and secure. A traditional toe bumper, rearfoot and eyestay supports, and a full rand add security and protection, and an external thermoplastic heel counter adds stability. � e midsole is low-pro� le, molded EVA, with 361º’s Quickfoam element lending extra cushioning. � e outersole is low-pro� le carbon rubber, textured for grip, in a thin con� guration that’s surprisingly tough. � e forefoot of the outersole is bonded to a spongy layer of polyurethane, adding a bit more cushion to the ride as well as an ability to conform to the trail surface. � e combination of quality materials, e� cient design, and a comfortable and adaptive ride make the Ortega a worthy contender for trail performance.

“Snugs well to the foot with good protection. Sure-footed on the trail, and does really well getting there, too.”

Responsive Trail NEW Sizes Men 6–12,13,14; Women 5–12 Weight 11.5 oz. (men’s 11); 9.4 oz. (women’s 8) Shape semi-curved Construction Strobel slip-lasted Recommended for medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

Brooks Pure Grit 4 $120� e Pure Grit is the lightest of Brooks’ trail running shoes. � e upper is a tight, closed mesh with 3D-printed overlays providing some structure and a layer of protection. � e supportive midfoot strap (Brooks calls it the Nav band) adds a snugger midfoot � t, while still � exing enough to accommodate di� erences in foot volume. � e chassis carries over from Round 3: a low-pro� le layer of BioMoGo foam with DNA added to the mix for very good cushioning. A forefoot rock plate between the midsole and outersole o� ers protection from rocky trails. � e outersole features the same hexagon-shaped lugs, as their bite tames trails e� ciently and e� ectively. � e Pure Grit 4 is a solid performer that � ts well, performs well, and carries the Brooks trail tradition well.

“Good, close fi t all around. Flexible enough with decent traction. They did a great job for my weekend trail runs.”

Performance Trail Updates Pure Grit 3 Sizes Men 8–13,14; Women 5–11,12 Weight 10.9 oz. (men’s 11); 8.8 oz. (women’s 8) Shape semi-curved Construction Strobel slip-lasted Recommended for medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

HOKA ONE ONE SpeedGoat $140� e new SpeedGoat sports geometry and traction designed to go as fast as you can, thanks to the developmen-tal input of Ultra trail star Karl Metzler. � e upper is a tough minimesh with lacing that extends down to the toe for extra security. No-sew overlays lend support overall and add a bit of design � air while keeping it light. A traditionally stitched toecap features an added layer of ground rubber for abrasion resistance and protection. � e ankle collar is cushy and improves the heel � t. � e midsole is a soft, thick layer of injected EVA that absorbs shock and conforms to the terrain for a protective and sure-footed feel, in combination with its 5-mil-limeter geometry, and is resilient enough for good response and durability. � e outersole is a luggy pro� le of Vibram® Megagrip® rubber—a new compound and partnership for the brand—that o� ers really good traction. � e SpeedGoat succeeds for runners looking for traction, cushion, and a snug, secure � t to � nish fast.

“Looks sports-car fast. I really like how easy the upper is to open up and then tighten down on the shoes. The midsole [is] cushy and protective; the traction is just right.”

Performance/Racing Trail NEW Sizes Men 6–13,14,15; Women 5–12 Weight 10.3 oz. (men’s 11); 8.2 oz. (women’s 8) Shape semi-curved Construction Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board Recommended for medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

Mizuno Hayate 2 $110With its e� ective construction, fun graphics, and strong trail performance, the Hayate has been a breath of fresh air for Mizuno trail running. Round 2 takes a bit more traditional approach, at least in appearance, while maintaining the strengths of the original. � e upper is open mesh with traditional, supportive overlays and a full rand—simple, but protective. � e midsole maintains the Waveplate and U4ic foam from the original, thanks to its e� ective ride and stability on both road and trail. � e outersole continues,too; its luggy traction works equally well on hard-pack, loose, and muddy trails. � e compound is quite durable, so pavement isn’t a problem. � e Hayate remains a quality choice for the trails, especially if Mizuno is on your favored brands list.

“The upper is totally different from before, with a stretchier feel, though the support strapping holds the foot nice and secure. The ride feels about the same as before, and the traction makes it a real trail shoe.”

Performance Trail Updates the Hayate 2 Sizes Men 7–13; Women 5–12 Weight 9.7 oz. (men’s 11); 7.9 oz. (women’s 8) Shape semi-curved Construction Strobel slip-lasted Recommended for medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

Cal-

New Balance 910 v2 $110Th e eff ectiveness of the New Balance trail running line has satisfi ed runners in every strata of the running world. Th e 910 is one of several New Balance everyday trail runners that handle terrain, mileage, and the ele-ments eff ectively. Th e upper is an engineered mesh that vents well, and keeps it light with no-sew overlays but also protective at the toe, thanks to an additional overlay layer called Toe-Protect. Th e support of the upper is good, with the overlays forming a complete rand, connecting eff ectively to the heel counter. Th e eyestays and external ankle collar are reinforced with zig-zag stitching. Th e midsole is a healthy chunk of RevLite foam with its lively feel and good durability. Th e outersole is full-length rubber that features triangular lugs that have a nice bite on the trail without being overly tall on the road. Th e Rock Stop plate provides protection on uneven trails without making the forefoot overly stiff . Th e 910 v2 continues to off er the performance expected of the line, maintaining its traction, ride, and value.

“Fit snug in the heel, roomy up front. Comfortably well-cushioned with grippy traction.”

Responsive Trail Updates the 910 v1 Sizes Men 7–13,14,15,16; Women 5–11 Weight 11.4 oz. (men’s 11); 9.1 oz. (women’s 8) Shape semi-curved Construction Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board Recommended for medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

Nike Zoom Terra Kiger 3 $125Th e Zoom Kiger and its sibling, the Zoom Wildhorse, represented a much needed trail running reset for Nike. Round 3 features some fi netuning to a solid performer. Th e upper has been lightened a bit, and uses engineered mesh. Th e most signifi cant changes up top are overlays which are thin and printed on the surface, and the mesh is closed at the base of the upper, essentially forming a rand without using additional material. Th e midsole maintains the low-profi le, 4-millimeter geometry that has been so successful for the Kiger, as it is substantial enough to cushion well on all surfaces. Th e outersole is little changed from Round 1: chisel-pointed tread in a sticky rubber compound that’s still tough enough for even bituminous surfaces, though best off -road. Th e combination of low-profi le geometry, light weight and good traction make the Terra Kiger great for faster trail running.

“Secure upper with good toe room. Flexible, light, and fast. It’s fi ne for dirt trails, but it’s no bushwhacker.”

Performance Trail Updates the Terra Kiger 2 Sizes Men 6–13,14,15; Women 5–12 Weight 9.0 oz. (men’s 11); 7.4 oz. (women’s 8) Shape semi-curved Construction Strobel slip-lasted, EVA Strobel board Recommended for medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

Saucony Nomad TR $110 Th e Nomad TR is the fi rst new trail running shoe from Saucony since the introduction of the Peregrine four seasons ago. Th e Nomad off ers several features that diff erentiate it from its off -road siblings and add value to Saucony’s trail line. Th e upper is closed mesh with no-sew overlays, Pro-Lock secures the midfoot, and a D-ring at the bottom of the laces facilitates the use of gaiters. Th e midsole features 4-millimeter geometry and a low-profi le setup of Power Grid foam for responsive cushioning and good fl exibility. Th e outersole employs a newly designed tread of elongated diamond-shaped lugs that fl ex laterally to conform to the trail. Th e fl at bottom adds stability to the foot plant, and the tack of the rubber off ers additional grip. Th e Nomad TR suc-cessfully fi lls the gap in Saucony’s RAW collection, and its versatile traction, adaptable fi t, and good protection earned it our award for Best Trail Shoe for Winter 2015–16.

“Roomy fi t, but without feeling sloppy. Traction is subtle but effective, with a smooth feel on trail and road. I was im-pressed by both the fi t and the performance.”

Performance Trail NEW Sizes Men 7–13,14; Women 5–11,12 Weight 11.2 oz. (men’s 11); 8.9 oz. (women’s 8) Shape semi-curved Construction Strobel slip-lasted Recommended for medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics to mild overpronation

TrekSta Alter Ego Star $110 TrekSta has shown that a consistent, single focus on trail performance can bring dividends to a brand. Th e new Alter Ego Star debuts with an upper of tightly woven mesh with 3D-printed overlays providing much of the upper’s support, and traditionally stitched overlays at the toe, heel, and from the eyestay to bolster the fi t, especially in the forefoot. Th e forefoot has a pronounced asymmetrical shape that mimics the foot’s, along with similarly skewed lacing. Th ese features will improve the fi t for many feet. Th e midsole is a high quality, single-density EVA wih excellent fl exibility, without sacrifi cing protection. Th e outersole is a sticky rubber compound called Hypergrip, but the variety and shape of the lugs adds as much to the eff ectiveness of the sole’s grip. Th e Alter Ego Star provides fi t, traction, and protection for top-notch trail performance.

“They were shaped like my foot, so they fi t great. Really good traction, not too heavy, plenty of cushion. They covered all of the bases.”

Responsive Trail NEW Sizes Men 8–13; Women 6–10 Weight 11.4 oz. (men’s 11); 9.1 oz. (women’s 8) Shape semi-curved Construction Strobel slip-lasted Recommended for medium- to high-arched feet with neutral biomechanics

A TIME TO DECIDE By Jeff Horowitz

It may seem hard to believe, but it’s been over 14 years since the world changed forever for so many of us. In a single fearful day, people lost loved ones, and our nation lost some of its innocence. A number became shorthand for a horror, which in turn gave rise to war, more death, and the modern era of terrorism. For many of us, time is divided into two parts -‐ that era before the falling of the towers, and all the years since.

We live in a world now that seems increasingly unrecognizable in so many ways. There are more displaced people than at any time since World War II, but nations increasingly live in fear of giving them shelter. Well-‐meaning people cannot abide doing nothing, yet are afraid to do anything. Fear may be the catchword of the New World Order.

What does any of this have to do with us as runners? Everything. Runners know fear, in ways large and small. Heading out on a dark road, conquering longer and longer distances, overcoming injuries and doubt. These are the ordinary fears that all runners struggle with. But there are larger ones.

In 2001, the Marine Corps Marathon was held. Every participant had to seriously consider whether they would still race. It would take great courage to simply stand at the start line, along with tens of thousands of other runners. Together, these runners created an enormous target – something that every runner was aware of that day. But still they came, from all over the country, and from all over the world, speaking different languages and believing in different religions, or no religion at all. And the race went on. It was a day that no one who was there will ever forget.

Now, a generation later, runners must again face their fears. The word “Paris” has replaced 9-‐11 as shorthand for terrorism, and racers must once again overcome not just their personal doubts when lining up for a race, but our shared anxiety about our collective safety. We must all make the decision once again whether we dare travel and race. We must decide together whether our community of runners, growing year by year to number in the millions, can endure.

So far, things look good. No races have yet been canceled over security concerns, and there doesn’t seem to be any rush to end even the mega races. But what will these races look like?

As a community, we have embraced all race participants, from wherever they may come, and however they may compete. Will runners welcome the new immigrants in our community? The refugees who have fled lands far more dangerous form our own? Will we reach out to welcome runners who look different from us, and who speak another language?

Yes, there is a risk in opening ourselves up in this way. And yes, there is risk in gathering for races, in running long distances, in heading out the door in the dark to run. There

are many people now who tell us that we can no longer take on certain kinds of risks. But there is a far greater risk in not doing so.

I tell those runners who I coach that we define ourselves as the tribe who does not stop, even when it would be easy to so, when we would have every reason to stop, and when no one would blame us for stopping. We continue on because we know we can, and because we can, we should. Not just in running, but in life.

I admit it: I have a bias in favor of runners. I unashamedly believe that we are superior people, that our suffering has built not just stronger bodies, but better character. I have always been proud to be a member of the running community. I am confident that this will continue, even in these difficult times.

By Chris LeyenSam Chelanga edged out Tyler Pennel to

win the elite men’s heat while Molly Huddle put in a dominant performance to cruise to victory in the women’s heat at the US National 12K held in Alexandria, VA on Sunday, November 15.

The elite men’s race at the .US National 12K presented by Neustar came down to a matter of feet as Chelanga held off a surging Pennel to take first place in 34:35. At the race press conference held at the Crowne Plaza Downtown Alexandria on November 14, he predicted a close race between himself and Pennel, joking that “he’d do a staring contest with Tyler.” Come race day he got it, kicking it in with less than a quarter of a mile to go. Pennel steadily closed the gap, finishing just shy of Chelanga, also in 34:35. Our coverage of the press conference and race results can be found online at RacePacket.com.

After the race, Chelanga commented that he “love[s] running with Tyler, because it’s kind of like dueling.” Both racers expected the tight finish, and Pennel postured for it from the start, coming up just short. His plan was to “Come in as relaxed as I could at 10K” and he knew the real race was starting as Chelanga picked up the pace with 200 meters to go. The burst by Chelanga would prove to be enough, however. Tyler was “barely gaining on him” throughout the last 200 meters, just narrowly unable to overtake Chelanga.

Kipchirchi, Spisak, and Shrader would follow shortly after Chelanga and Pennel, the top five men finishing within four seconds of each other. Jared Ward (34:42) and Jason Witt (35:10) would trade the lead early on, but go on to finish 6th and 13th respectively. With this 6th place finish however, Ward would go on to win the USATF Running Circuit Series, followed by Chelanga and Pennel. The .US National 12K win gives Chelanga his second USATF

championship since becoming a US citizen earlier this year.

The women’s race was a different story. Molly Huddle (38:36) cruised her way to a 6th national title in 2015, collecting $20,000, plus circuit bonuses as she led the field by over 200 meters, boasting a 13 second lead at the two-mile and 18 second lead at the 5k. The three-time .US National 12k champion cruised confidently along the George Washington parkway, as the racing continued behind her in the chase pack. This win, along with four additional USATF Running Circuit race wins would give Huddle her third consecutive USATF Running Circuit overall title. Remarking on her performance, Huddle recalled getting a lead early and maintaining it. Therein lay the challenge in her race. “It was hard to grind out there alone” she remarked.

Sara Hall would lead the chase pack in, finishing in 39:02, followed by Alisha Williams (39:05) and Kim Conley (39:11) finishing strong despite still feeling the effects of coming off of an injury.

This year’s race was held in ideal conditions, clear and crisp, perfect for performing at the highest level, or as a casual runner. Today amateur and professional athletes lined up together at the starting line, as the elite men, masters, and open divisions took off at 7:55 a.m.

The .US National 12K, now in its third year, brings elite US athletes to the road to race along the Potomac River through Old Town Alexandria and along the George Washington Parkway. It is part of the USATF road series race featuring USATF championships from the one mile distance through the marathon, consistently attracting the best American distance runners, awarding over $500,000 in total prize money, $100,000 of which was presented at this year’s event.
