About the Author

Laura Newman

I have been running for over 27 years, since high school cross country, and have raced just about every distance from the 100M hurdles to the marathon. These days, most of my runs are done with my Brittany dog, Colfax, by my side. I am also a strength training enthusiast, having lifted weights for almost as long as I've been running. Once upon a time, I sold running and other athletic footwear, but I am much happier to now be reviewing it for runners and athletes of all ages and paces. Follow me (and Colfax) at @runswithcolfax
