Kofuzi Run Club

i stayed home this year to give out candy for Halloween. and then we had a bonfire and hot chocolate when my kids got home from trick or treating. in other news, there was a marathon in new york.

NYC Marathon is coming up, and it could be a real big day for broccoli. i go over my thoughts on the elite race, as well as my general fomo. i do some unboxings. today was a lot of books.

went to Ann Arbor for the ribbon cutting of ASICS Michigan Sport Innovation Center. AMA (actually, they did not let me keep the exoskeleton)I just finished week 1 of Norweigian Singles Method, and I have thoughts. and, i've got a lot to unbox.

finally feels like i'm starting to catch my breath after three weeks of Berlin, Twin Cites, and Chicago. but i'll be heading out for a short trip this week, so there won't be a Thursday episode. in this episode, we talk about Norweigian Singles, fast half marathons in the spring, fast marathons for BQs in the spring, and Frank Shorter singlets

there was an australian record, an american debut record, and a lot of other favorite little moments from chicago marathon last weekend

i ran berlin marathon in the adios pro 5, AMA. i went to adidas HQ and they gave me a pair of the hyperboost 360 concept. i'll show it to you.i'm leaving for twin cities tomorrow. gonna try and run another marathon this sunday. also, i've got some unboxings

i'll be heading out to germany tomorrow, so this will be the last livestream for over a week. let's check the weather forecast, talk about the shakeout, and then we'll open some packageshere's the link for the shakeout in berlin with BITR and adidas running. it only works on mobile and you'll need to download the adidas running apphttps://www.runtastic.com/groups/bdb35c68-9759-493b-a20b-eaa7a53578e1/events/a1ef3243-2e3a-4189-a8cf-908519966e40

a lot of shoes have come off embargo this week. here are some shoes i've been running in over the past week that i can finally talk about: Endorphin Speed 6 Cloudsurfer 3 Gel Slowcush i'll also unbox 3 more shoes and some apparel from Dead Last

my kids wore hoodies to school today. i made a pot roast in the slow cooker yesterday, and i ran with a shirt on today. is this fall? also, we talk about the flooded (with water) half marathon in New Jersey and the flooded (with other stuff) hyrox

in this episode, I taste test a couple of new flavors of Skratch, tell you about the Metasleek that I tested that morning, and unbox some packages from Path Projects and Diadora

temps have been in the 90s here with high humiity, and it feels like we're back at the worst conditions of the summer. are we doing ok?

actually made it a good way through The Norwegian Method Applied book over the weekend - a book i'm reading a physical and not an audio version. my main takeaway is that there sure was a lot of reference to running 6x6. the second takeaway is that i think i need to do a proper lactate test

we've had a really nice week or so of cool morning temps that have been very nice for running. but now, it seems like summer is heating back up. today, i've got some shoes to unbox (i think they've not under embargo). plus, some running books!

I ran in the Tyr Valkyrie Elite 2 over the weekend - it's amazing. I tried the Craft Astmosfar this morning - I'm shocked at how much I like it.Last month, we were talking about the Topo Specter 3 and Specter Elite. Amazing shoes from brands that typically get ignored. But these just might be some of the best shoes to hit the US market in 2026. (no worries, I still love Hyperboost Edge and Deviate Pure)

both my kids are back in school already. it's finally cool enough that i can run with a singlet (rather than going without a shirt). this means i should be getting faster now, right?

it was 80 degrees with 84% humidity at 7am this morning. the humidity was so thick, it was foggy. i know this is normal for summer around here, but i still don't like it

i get a special delivery from adidas today. i unbox the NB SC Elite v6 which is finally off embargo. plus, it's been just absolutely gorgeous weather here lately. hope you've been able to take advantage!

with the air quality being what it's been, i ended up trying a curved treadmill. it was not what I was expecting. also, the World Cup final was yesterday

On top of this heat dome and humidity, Candian wildfires have pushed the AQI to dangerously high levels. It's making it tough for runners. In this episode, we talk about staying inside when AQI is this bad and also what we've been using to stay cool when it is safe to be out there: ice bandanas, cooling shirts, and ice in our vests also, Altra sent me a shoe for the first time in a while

ran a 5k over the weekend. wasn't sure if i was going to make it to the starting line.
