Merry New Year! I really hope your Holiday Season has been filled with everything that you wished, hoped, and prayed for. I also hope The Season has been filled with whichever variation of racing, running, jogging, and walking you desired as you closed out 2024 and welcomed in 2025.
Speaking of running, I mentioned before that there are A LOT of new footwear releases this month. For both the road and trail as we slide our engagement meters from Out (of) Season to In Season. I'm seeing a lot of my running counterparts taking advantage of this somewhat mild winter and hitting the off–terrain a lot more. A LONG time ago I had a not–so–pleasant experience at a trail race and SWORE I'd never be back. And I kept that promise to myself.....until 2022. I did a trail walk. Then a trail jog. Then a trail run. And before you know it.....
I love the challenge of trail running because the terrain is always changing. Wind blows, trails could be different. Rains, trails could be different. Sun's out, trails could be different. You have to be constantly locked in both physically and mentally. And your shoes.....well they need traction and breathability for sure. But what if I told you this was possible WITHOUT sacrificing that elite cushioning some of us have come to know, expect, and love with our road runners? Enter the Brooks Caldera 8. Delivering long–haul comfort for lengthy trail runs, the Caldera 8 combines premium cushioning with a durable, dynamic feel for a stable ride on varied terrain.
This shoe was built with ultra trail running (50k+ trail runs and races) in mind, so it goes the distance. But if you're building up to that longer mileage, throw these on as you ramp up your kilometers and miles from training to Race Day.
