12 Tips for Running with a Stroller

Yeah, don’t let the name “fit bottomed mamas” put you off (or on too much!). Sister site of “fit bottomed girls”, it’s a great source of fitness advice and in this case a few valid points about running with a baby stroller. I did it all last summer and loved it.

Newton Running is launching the new “Energy NR”

Although Newton has proven that it is a serious contender in the competitive running/triathlon arena, many runners still hesitate trying them for two reason: a high retail price and some steep learning curve.

The Energy NR will be priced at $119 and be more “beginner friendly”. We are waiting to try this shoe !
