3RRC Gift Guide 2020
Blake: If I could have anything from 3RRC for the holidays, it would be the TriggerPoint Impact Massage Gun. While my sticks and rollers work great on the legs, I struggle to get that same quality of massage for my upper body. The Impact Gun makes it quick and easy; I...

Brooks Levitate 4
by Carissa Jenkins When DNA Amp first emerged in Brooks' line up with the OG Levitate and the Bedlam, it was found responsive, but heavy. Brooks heard the pleas from the running community and responded with the new Levitate 4. The new Levitate is much lighter, 20%...
Mizuno Sky 4 Waveknit
By: Blake Harris I haven't worn a lot of Mizuno stuff in the past so I tried this shoe without the usual preconceptions and the first thing I noticed was how soft the Sky Waveknit is. For a shoe that doesn't have a ton of stack height, there is a lovely plush foot bed...
Brooks Caldera 4
By: Sammy Moran The Brooks Caldera 4 is a trail running shoe by nature, however in my opinion, could be used for short times on pavement as well due to its level of cushioning and softer foot bed. The Caldera felt great right from the step-in. One of the things I...
Topo Zephyr
By: Blake Harris I initially bought the Zephyr as more of an everyday lightweight trainer or a go-to shoe for workouts on long run day. What I got was a model that is at it's best when you're moving FAST. I remember my first workout with this shoe careening through...

Brooks Dare Crossback Run Bra
By: Paula Henry I was leery about this bra because it didn't have a 'big band' at the bottom, and I've always felt this helped give me more support. However, I've always been super happy with my Brooks sports bras (Brooks Uprise was my previous favorite), so I gave...
