Another injury-free runner

March 28, 2013 Leave a comment

Tess Fabian has been Hoka-enthused for over a year now. As a manager at InTraining Running Shoe Clinic, Brisbane, she was one of the first retailers to get on board with the new brand. Let’s face it, Tess should be appreciated! Back then, our shoes worked much, much better than they looked!

Since then, the brand and design have evolved. And Tess though it was time to write about her favourite running shoe for 20,000 of her favourite customers.

Hoka OneOne mans up.

March 11, 2013 1 Comment

If you’re a manny man man looking for your next hardass running shoe, don’t take our advice or listen to the hundreds of endurance athletes and longtime runners singing the praises of our genius design team. Take the advice of your favourite manny magazine, it’s right there in this month’s issue of Men’s Fitness.

We all wore Hoka OneOne trail shoes which have thick padded soles. They cushioned your feet and prevented blisters. Runners in cushioned shoes fared better.

Hoka OneOne shelves are now full

February 13, 2013 2 Comments

The shelves at Hoka OneOne Australia HQ are now full! Hit up your local running or tri store or visit us online now to order yours!

And we will shortly be announcing the winner in our Facebook competition and starting a couple of new ones for you. Thank you for your support! It’s been great to hear from so many of you about what you want from Hoka OneOne and what they have already done for you.

We do appreciate that this is a very different shoe. For some people it’s confronting, even annoying because it appears to so fully go against everything they think about shoes or even about running. But for others, it’s the key to their next race, it’s a chance to run again, it’s their big hope for their next Iron Man, it’s a weapon in successful adventure racing, and for some, like Perth’s speedy young Scott Hawker, it’s their partner in course records and podium finishes.

More to follow, including a lucky winner of some flash new running shoes, but for now . . .

Shelves are now loaded!!Bondi Speed 2 v 1

Is Ultra Running a religion? Video of Michael Arnstein lecture.

January 4, 2013 Leave a comment

Whatever level you run at, there is interesting, frank, and educational content here. Arnstein is a fruitarian who ran 7:27:48 for the US national 100km titles in 2010. Just 2 weeks ago, he ran 12:57 for 100 miles. As much as we like cheese and honey, we’re impressed by the runner that this guy is carving out of himself.

Pull up a leather chair and a tub of full cream yoghurt, and enjoy.

PS We don’t actually agree that low body fat = lowered probability of injury. Any skinny runner with stress fractures may have something to add on this topic.
