Running and Laughing through the Golden State
Running and Laughing through the Golden State
I was excited to try the Saucony Freedom 4. I’ve run in the Freedom since the original. Since then, the Saucony Freedom has gone through a lot of changes. In fact, Saucony in general has, and these days the Freedom can get lost in the mix.
As I continued trying new hydration products, I found myself trying Osmo Nutrition Active Hydration. I bought it in hopes of finding something new that would keep me hydrated in whatever I was doing, whether that was hiking, running, swimming, or just living life.
As I continued my quest to try new hydration products, I stumbled upon Skratch Sport Hydration Drink Mix. I was looking forward to trying something with a less sweet flavor that sits in your stomach better than many hydration products. Plus, I’ve already tried several things from Skratch Labs, including:
Skratch has made hydration products for a while, but they’ve recently updated their formula. The Skratch Sport Hydration now has 10% more sodium.
I was excited to try the Saucony Triumph 19. Even though my injury was not running related, coming back from an injury, I wanted more cushion. Since the original ISO version several years ago, I’ve run in almost every version of the Saucony Triumph. Time flies. Anyway, I always seem to have a pair of Triumph in my rotation.
A common question I’ve gotten the last few months is: How do I review running gear and shoes? I’ve written over 500 posts reviewing things.
While I consider myself an “expert” in running shoes, I don’t know everything. Every day I learn something new and every week I learn about a cool new brand.
