Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 Review: Best Version Yet?

I’ll never forget the first time I laced up the original Saucony Endorphin Speed, way back in 2020. I had never run in such a fun shoe—a pair that made it seem almost effortless to pick up the pace and encouraged me to commit to speed workouts for the first time in 15+ years of running. It was also the shoe I laced up for my first marathon.

Fast forward four years and three editions later, and the Endorphin Speed 4 hasn’t changed a whole lot—in a good way. I’ve run in versions 1-4, and this might just be my favorite yet. Find out why, in this Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 review.

What’s it Like Running with The Size 15 Runner?

Let’s not be coy and just state the obvious: It’s truly a distinct honor and a privilege to run with The Size 15 Runner. Of course, as a celebrity influencer, he won’t run with just anybody. He’s a leader, not a follower. You have to be, when you’re someone with the extremely high social status of The Size 15 Runner.

Recently, he was feeling rather generous, and decided to grant a lifelong friend his lifelong wish: to run with The Size 15 Runner.

Trail vs Road Running: Which is More Fun?

Every pair of running shoes I’ve owned is designed for the roads. Despite having run on several trails in D.C., Virginia, and Pennsylvania, I never felt the need to invest in trail shoes. The pavement is where you’ll typically find my size 15 feet. However, I felt my recent move outside the city of Richmond, VA, with a state park an eight-minute drive away, warranted the purchase of yet another pair of running shoes—my first-ever with lugs on the outsole. With my first pair of trail shoes added to my rotation, it begs the question, trail running vs road running: which is more fun?

HOKA Skyward X Review: Onward and Upward

Despite carrying a heavy weight and price tag, you’ll feel light on your feet in the HOKA Skyward X, a tremendous super trainer that can conquer daily miles with ease. In this HOKA Skyward X review, I detail all the innovations packed into this shoe, including a convex carbon fiber plate, super critical EVA rocker, and suspension system.

Monument Avenue 10k Recap: Quite the Monumental Race

Despite nearly two decades of running, I’d never registered for a 10k race. I’ve conquered everything from 5Ks to marathons, yet the 6.2-mile length was the one distance that eluded me. That all changed this past weekend, when I ran Richmond’s Monument Avenue 10k through the scenic streets of Virginia’s capital city steeped in American history.

Beautiful race setting aside, it wasn’t why I decided to run the race. It was another runner—a newer runner—who forced my hand, or, rather, feet into racing.
