Don’t Mess with a Junkie

If you haven’t read the Inc. Magazine story on Newton, check out page four where the writer mentions The Gear Junkie, Stephen Regenold. The Inc. writer, Robert Andrew Powell, questions the effectiveness of Newton technology referencing the Gear Junkie’s slow Twin Cities marathon time.

Well, the Gear Junkie took issue with Mr. Powell’s reference in a ‘rant’ he posted on Active.com.

“Powell is right that I ran a slow marathon in the Newtons last fall. But he did not phone to ask why. Indeed, the weekend of the marathon I was attempting an endurance feat of sorts, as I raced in (and won) a 12-hour adventure race on Saturday, got a couple hours of sleep, then arose early to run the marathon on Sunday.”

You Walk Wrong

\ Leave a Comment \ by

Last month, Adam Sternbergh wrote an interesting article in New York Magazine entitled, “You Walk Wrong.” Sternbergh basically argues that modern shoes are wrecking our feet with every step we take.

A few footwear companies, such as Sanük, share this same belief. Two years ago, Sanük introduced its Sidewalk Surfers. The Sidewalk Surfers were born out of the belief that most of today’s footwear is plagued by too much foam, gel, air cells, gizmos and gadgets that promote overall foot weakness and lead to common foot injuries.Injuries need not be as serious as how they are published here, but they can hurt. Sanük’s Sidewalk Surfer sandals feature “Barefoot Un-technology,” a patented, simplistic design that attaches a shoe upper to a sandal footbed, which provides superior comfort and allows the foot to bend and flex the way nature intended.

There are a lot of things that young people need to watch out for, thinking in the long term. Here you can find low-cost life insurance for young people. Be sure you don’t miss out.

As Sternbergh points out, we are always going to wear shoes, so it is important to change up your shoes as much as possible.
