About Running Northwest

Running Northwest was established in 2015 with the goal to be the running review authority for runners in the Pacific Northwest. As the years passed, our audience has grown dramatically to include readers all over the world. Every review is designed to provide a candid and no holds barred look at each product. Shoes are run for 50 or more miles before fingers even touch keys. Apparel and gear are taken out in the best and worst conditions. We taste some of the weirdest and trendiest nutrition supplements so you don’t have to. We smear on creams to see if they help with recovery to save you the trouble. Bottom line is, we want to provide a fair and honest review of everything we put out.

Jeremy on Trails
Founder and Chief Reviewer

Running Northwest was founded by Jeremy Krall, who began his foray into running much later in life. He grew up as a team sports kid bouncing between football, baseball, tennis, and more before finally landing on hockey which he took with him through college. Fast forward to some years and several pounds later as years behind a computer desk and cubicle had taken their toll, Jeremy found running, cycling, and inevitably triathlons. His passion for technology spilled over into the shoes, gear, and apparel he was using, and deep-diving into the data became his passion. It turned out others were interested in his work as well and thus, Running Northwest was born.

Jeremy is now a UESCA Certified Running Coach and spends his days on the roads and trails around Portland, Oregon. He has drafted new folks into the ranks of reviewers but still loves getting into it with most products, working with the brands directly, and is most happy just talking running in general.

Growing the Ranks

Our ranks have been growing and continue to grow as we bring in and out varying runners with a wide array of skill levels. We never designed Running Northwest to be just about high performance, but instead wanted to report on things that were highly accessible to all people. Because of that, we continually draft runners of all ages and skill levels to provide their thoughts and insight on a wide variety of products.

The goal of Running Northwest will always be the same, to provide the best reviews possible and remain unbiased and direct in our feedback to the running community.

Took advantage of what was clearly one of the best days of the year Portland and did a double day yesterday.
Not going to lie but did not expect @reebok to have a highly capable carbon shoe so was pleasantly surprised at how the Floatride Energy X performed.
A nasty day here in PDX, but the miles must be logged! Decided to put even more miles on the @asicsrunning Superblast and the more we wear them, the better they seem to feel and perform. The original stiffness has dissipated a bit and the shoe just feels more comfortable overall, yet still responsive. The AHAR+ rubber outsole is a huge winner on here as it handles wet roads really well.
A beautiful morning for a run today down in SoCal, the hills of Torrey Pines were no match for the @hoka Clifton 9. With every run these things just keep getting better and better.
The @salomonrunning Aero Glide is a sleeper hit in the high cushion road category. It competes really well against the HOKA Bondi 8 with a huge stack, wide platform, roomy upper, and decent performance. We have known Salomon has had the chops on the trail side for quite a while, but clearly they have their targets set in the road and this is a solid contender. Our only gripe is the insole which does tend to slip back as your pace picks up or on hills. Could just be out test pair but something to keep an eye on.
It’s the new @craftsportswear PRO Endurance Trails and while they do feature a really solid ultralight, well cushioned, and responsive midsole paired with a nice aggressive outsole… they also feature the same super long laces that keep showing up on Craft shoes. Jokes aside, the upper feels similar to the CTM Ultra so don’t expect a ton of padding up top, but they do maintain a roomy toebox. As more of a high mileage trail shoe, would like a bit more up top on here as it can get uncomfortable as the miles tick on.
