You’ve spent the last several months training, then one day during the taper, you wake up achy with a stuffy nose and scratchy throat. Yep, getting sick before a race is just about every runner’s worst nightmare. Before you spiral into a panic or go down a never ending Dr. Google search, take a deep breath.

It’s going to be hard not to make this review a love letter to Ryka, but I will do my best. The Ryka Devo X Max is a walking shoe that’s going to cause FOMO amongst your friends. If you haven’t heard of Ryka, it’s the first athletic shoe company solely dedicated to women. With RTTF being a woman-founded brand, we love this!!The shoes are designed to specifically fit a woman’s unique foot shape, muscle movement, and build.

Running a marathon in the rain doesn’t have to suck if you have the right gear and mindset.

It didn’t matter what they were wearing, they had a mindset of moving forward. Marathons happen rain or shine. It’s why we run coaches are always saying it’s important to practice running in all weather conditions.
