    This is episode 1 of a brand new series I'm experimenting with, TRAIL TESTED! I thought it'd be a fun way to bring you along for my very first run in brand new gear and give you my first impressions. Of course, these are just initial impressions so there will be plenty of more miles to come in the gear as I test it further and a full, comprehensive review should be coming to the channel soon. What do you think of the new series??
    A HUGE shout-out to OnX Backcountry for sponsoring the episode and supporting the new idea!
    Thank you Darin for the camera assist!

    Hope you enjoy the new series, Trail Tested! Had lots of fun putting this one together and showing off some of our home trails.

      Very cool. It's nice to see the item in action. This with the in-studio stuff would be very cool to see. Nice work.

    I have the Nike Terra Kiger 8's and were going to run in them for a race this past weekend.... and well Upon arrival and as my friend and I started to stretch I realized I left my shoes at home…..I quickly checked my trunk (as runners we usually have a pair laying around) and there were none in there just Vans….. then I remembered a favorite quote of mine from endurance athlete Jesse Itzler - “You didn't come this far just to get this far!” So with about 20 minutes until start time I scrabbled to the top-of-the-line shoe store open at 7:45 also known as Walmart and grab a pair of Avia shoes never heard of or seen before this day. Made it back at the end of the race brief time to load the water bottles and boom we were off!!! Won my age group and had a blast! As it was said on Friday night lights - It doesn't matter what shoes are on you

    @jessebutler9352 Před rokem +8

    Stoked for the new series. I wish I could do something like that with every pair of shoes before I commit to buy. I guess watching you do it is the next best thing.

    This was awesome. Thank you. Great video. Can't wait for the next one. I love the Terra Kigers. I've run short races and long races in them, including the Squamish 50km and I've backpacked the gnarly, muddy West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island wearing them. They've always worked great for me.

    Love this series! One of the things I loved about Ethan's race movies was the feeling of running with him and this style of review/first impression rocks. Hoping he does road shoes as well. Call it "Road Rush!!" LOL

    Fun video. Like seeing the trail you run on, and the live impressions were in context. 👌

  • @kalvin.
    @kalvin. Před rokem +1

    Love this type of content after my first Ragnar relays in Colorado! Ran in the Speedgoat 5’s and they impressed me so much especially downhill I never slipped once on fast mountain bike trails and while the race was difficult I never felt like the shoes let me down, which surprised me as I had some discomfort in my break in runs prior to the drive up the mountains. Others on my team had issues with their toes on their Hoka’s but I did not, as I suffered no blisters or hot spots, and my only issue after the race was some soreness on the lateral edge of my left foot where I hit some really sharp rocks on a heavily cambered trail during my descents.

    This is an awesome new series, love it! Just joined the Patreon - stumbled on the channel after being recommended the Gary Robbins Barclay Marathons doc (I'm a runner). You're bringing SO much value between the reviews and other content (wow are the Ask Coach Roche episodes worth it alone!), and I want to thank you for it! Keep at it!

    • @TheGingerRunner
      @TheGingerRunner  Před rokem +1

    Thx for another great video. Can't wait for your full review of the Salomon Pulsar Trail to hear your thoughts and especially how it compares to the North Face Vectiv Enduris. Both seem similar on paper with 6 mm drop, plated with a pronounced rockered geometry and lower profile lugs.

    Love this new format so much fun to go along for a "regular" run. I'm pretty high on the Pulsar Trail so far. First Salomon that I've had success with. Still need more runs (especially over 20 mi) in them but they're super promising.

    Great new series! I've had my Pulsar Trail for a couple of weeks and have just over 100 miles in them. I've been running in the Sense Ride 4 and also have the Ultra Glide. The Pulsar Trail are now my go to. I love that new plate as it helps it become more responsive for what I call a very cushy shoe. These will see many more miles than the Ultra Glides and compliment the Sense Rides. Long runs for sure will be done in the Pulsar Trail.

    • @TheGingerRunner
      @TheGingerRunner  Před rokem +1

      Yeah I’m definitely liking them more than ultra glides which flattened out super quickly for me

    I loved this video and new series of yours. Phenomenal. It was nice to see the some of the trails you run in a part of the country I have never been. Two quick questions: what shorts were your wearing for you run? And what were those grey shoes you slipped out of at the trailhead. Both looked very comfortable.

    • @TheGingerRunner
      @TheGingerRunner  Před rokem

      Shorts are Saysky from Copenhagen and grey shoes were Toms :)
