POPULARITY
Ben Rosario has done a bit of everything in running, often with an entrepreneurial spirit. As a professional runner for a decade leading up to 2010, Rosario achieved a marathon PR of 2:18:55. For several years, he trained with the highly respected Hansons Brooks team in Detroit. After that, he opened a retail running store in St. Louis, where he had grown up, and then jumped into his biggest project to date. In 2012 his wife and 1-year-old daughter moved to Flagstaff, AZ, to begin the Northern Arizona Elite training group. The team was soon sponsored by Hoka, and has played a significant role in USA distance running ever since. Runners from NAZ Elite have scored ten top 10 finishes in World Marathon Majors. Biggest victory? In 2020 Aliphine Tuliamuk won the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta.Rosario left his leadership role at NAZ Elite a year ago. In this podcast, we learned that he and family have recently moved to Phoenix, where he has taken a job as a private school teacher of sixth- and seventh-graders.He and several business partners have formed a team to organized a unique new approach to marathon running. It's called The Marathon Project, and will be held for the first time in mid-December in Chandler, AZ, just outside Phoenix.The Marathon Project is actually two marathons on two days. The first, on a Saturday, aims to present a concierge-like, high-service event to all entrants. They will be treated like elite athletes with pacers, special water bottle placements, and easy start-line access. All this on a super flat/fast 4-lap course in conditions likely to be cool and low-humidity.The next day these Saturday finishers will be able to watch a professional marathon, with $40,000 in cash prizes, on the same loop course.

Jej trener mówi, że ma cechy mistrzyni. W pełni się z tym zgadzamy. Nie chodzi tylko o fizjologię, ale też o cechy charakteru. Tego jak prowadzi wyścig i jak go kończy.W tym roku Martyna Młynarczyk - Team Hoka - zafundowała kibicom piękny pokaz podczas tegorocznego CCC w ramach festiwalu UTMB. Trasę 101 km i 6100 m przewyższeń pokonała w 11 godzin 41 min i 55 sekund. Co daje drugi czas w historii na tej trasie. To jednak nic w kontekście tego, że prowadzenie objęła już w jednej trzeciej trasy, wyprzedzając mistrzynię świata i Europy Blandine L'Hirondel, zeszłoroczną zwyciężczynię CCC - Toni McCann. A wyścig wcale nie układał się dobrze od początku. Pierwsze kilometry to ciężkie nogi, później za mocno zawiązany but i zdrętwiałe palce. Finalnie tuż przed metą, za jej plecami wyrasta rywalka Sylvia Nordskar, która obejmuje prowadzenie: "TO JEST CIOS, GDY PO 94 km, KTOŚ ODBIERA CI PROWADZENIE TUŻ PRZED METĄ. NIE MOGŁAM TEGO ODPUŚCIĆ.”Martyna odpowiada na ten cios, jeszcze mocniejszym i finalnie przecina wstęgę w Chamonix z 8 sekundową przewagą. Rozumiecie to? Wyścig na 100 km po górach, a pierwsza trójka na mecie - melduje się podczas nagrywania jednego klipu kamerę. Pokazujemy Wam to zresztą na sam koniec.Przed Wami rozmowa z Martyną Młynarczyk. Sama niechętnie udziela wywiadów, zatem doceńcie, że kilkanaście godzin po tym starcie zgodziła się porozmawiać z nami dla Was, relacjonując dokładnie przebieg wyścigu i dzieląc się planami dotyczącymi, mamy nadzieję kolejnych sukcesów.zdjęcia: Bartosz Biedroń, Jędrzej Maćkowski, James KamińskiRedakcja Kingrunnera relacjonująca na wyjeździe rywalizację w składzie: Jędrzej Maćkowski, James Kamiński, Ola Niemasz, Ania Lis, Maciej Skiba, Bartosz Biedroń oraz gościnnie Iwona Niemasz i trener Andrzej Orłowskifoto okładkowe Tomasz KilimczykPartnerami naszego wyjazdu do Chamonix była Hoka, Suunto i Dacia oraz prenumeratorzy Magazynu ULTRA.

Respectivement 5e et 6e de l'édition UTMB 2025, Thibaud Garrivier et Ludovic Pommeret livrent leurs premières impressions, quelques heures seulement après avoir passés la ligne d'arrivée. Premier et deuxième français, les deux traileurs du team Hoka sont allés puiser loin dans leurs ressources pour faire face à la nuit, la pluie, et même la neige. Des conditions « pas si difficiles » pour l'un, bien plus compliquées pour l'autre… Deux visions opposées de cet UTMB 2025, mais une course pleine pour les deux traileurs français.

Today Colin along with Outdoor Industry Insider Eoin Comerford and Brand & Creative Expert Producer Dave dig into the following topics and headlines that have been percolating in the outdoor industry:With brands like On Running and Brooks joining Altra, Saucony, and Hoka in the 'recent excellent financial performance club', is the category of running set up to weather the tariff storm better than everyone else? (05:50)The Rock Fight Lightning Round! This weeks lightning round topics include: Gildan Activewear acquires Hanesbrand for $2.2b, Merrell's claim that they are modernizing hiking, and a stop by Pickleball Corner. (21:41)Vuori turns 10 and celebrates by opening its 100th store. Is there anything that can slow them down? (29:03)On the other side of the athletic coin Under Armour is still trying to refind it's footing. Maybe they need a little more 'grrrr'. (36:08)Lastly for The Parting Shot Colin has a look at the endurance world's 'discovery' of Rice Krispie Treats. (45:12)Thanks for listening! The Rock Fight is a production of Rock Fight, LLC.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we give a tariff update. The steep tariffs on China were delayed yet another 90 days, but tariffs on countries including Switzerland are now in effect, wreaking havoc on the luxury fashion industries. We also talk a bit about Gildan acquiring HanesBrands — both brands are giants in the world of comfortable plain T-shirts. Finally, we talk about the controversy around Adidas and Willy Chavarria's Oaxacan Slip-On. Later in the episode, international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska joins us for a roundtable discussion on the state of the sneaker market. There was a gold rush of sneaker collaborations and category expansions through the late 2010s and early 2020s, but now the market is evolving. New players like On and Hoka are taking market share from traditional stand-bys like Nike. And experimental new silhouettes — from the slim-fitted Adidas Samba and Puma Speedcat to the wilder sneaker-loafer and sneaker-ballet flat hybrids — are becoming more popular. For this discussion, we also spoke with Alex Lotier, CEO of sneaker-focused Culture Media; Noah Thomas, formerly of Highsnobiety and currently the associate fashion director for men's and kid's at Macy's; and Brendan Dunne, senior director of customer, community and engagement at StockX. Below are a few highlights from the conversation.
In this episode of Visual Intonation, we sit down with filmmaker Abdul Kassamali, a Seattle-based director and producer whose path into film was anything but traditional. Born in the U.S. and raised in Kenya, Abdul originally trained as an electrical engineer before making a bold leap into filmmaking during the pandemic. Since then, he's built a career rooted in intentional storytelling and high-stakes production, collaborating with major clients like REI, HOKA, and The North Face. His work spans branded documentaries, music videos, and commercial campaigns, all driven by a deep connection to story and community. Abdul shares what it means to navigate two cultural identities and how that experience has shaped the lens through which he sees the world. From producing high-profile projects to telling personal, human stories, Abdul brings nuance to every frame. He discusses his philosophy on directing, the pressure and pace of the music video world, and his approach to capturing authenticity even when time is tight and the stakes are high. His collaboration with artists like Yo-Yo Ma and production studios like Wondercamp have helped define his voice as a visual storyteller. We also explore Abdul's dedication to inclusive filmmaking. Reflecting on early experiences where he was often the only person of color on set, Abdul now builds crews with intention, creating welcoming, well-oiled environments that reflect the world we live in. He breaks down the difference between diversity and tokenism, and how he brings care and clarity to both representation and execution in his projects. It's not just about who's holding the camera—it's about who gets to shape the story. From The Right to Joy to REI's Cadence and work under his HRVSTHOUSE banner, Abdul is a creator who brings engineering precision to creative production. Tune in for a conversation that spans continents, disciplines, and genres—an inside look at how one artist turns vision into momentum and story into connection.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! In this episode, Raj Malhotra explains why the recent rally in the S&P 500 could still have legs, potentially reaching 7100+ by next May if history repeats. But the key, he argues, is breadth: a broad-based rally across sectors, not just large-cap tech. Raj highlights the RSP equal-weight ETF as the signal to watch and spotlights Deckers Outdoor (DECK)—parent of HOKA, UGG, and Teva—as a beaten-down small/mid-cap with strong fundamentals, margin expansion, and international growth. He outlines a calendar spread trade with asymmetric upside if DECK rallies as the market broadens.

Today on The Rock Fight Colin is joined by outdoor industry insider Eoin Comerford and brand and creative expert Producer Dave (aka The Monday Boys) to hit on the following headlines and topics that are percolating around the outdoor industry:Outdoor Industry History! In what year did these outdoor headlines occur? (04:41)Industry ups and downs: Clarus & Fenix struggle in their recent earnings while Hoka and UG continue to thrive. But is the Deckers rocket ship starting to slow down? (08:10)Hope for ski resorts? Two recent stories buck the trend of bad news for snowsports. Was this a good week or a sign of things to come? (17:35)The Rock Fight LIGHTNING ROUND! The fastest 3 minutes of news in outdoor media. This week we hit the new House of Sport store coming to SoCal, Dad's leading the back to school charge, and insole maker Ortholite sold for $770m! (21:23)A recent lawsuit out of the hunt/fish world highlights the importance of MAP pricing. We discuss. (25:52)For The Parting Shot, apparently last Wednesday's tribute by Colin about Malcom Jamal Warner was just the beginning of a bad week for Gen X because we also lost Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan. We pour a little out for these 80's icons (even if Hulk did turn out to be a scumbag). (42:16)Thanks for listening! The Rock Fight is a production of Rock Fight, LLC.

Send us a textMeet Scott Klingonsmith, a rising star in the mountain running scene who's ready to take on one of America's most challenging ultramarathons. At just 20 years old, this Utah-based athlete brings fresh energy and strategic thinking to the grueling Speed Goat 50K.Scott shares his fascinating journey from dabbling in ultras to deliberately focusing on shorter trail races to build speed, and now returning to test himself against the punishing 11,000 feet of elevation gain at Speed Goat. What sets Scott apart is his methodical preparation – he's been exploring the course's notorious rocky back section that has "ruined a lot of people's races," working closely with his Hoka coach Emily Schmitz to build the specific strength needed for Speed Goat's relentless terrain.The conversation dives deep into Scott's race strategy and nutrition plan, revealing the thoughtful approach of an athlete wise beyond his years. Rather than relying on conventional gels, Scott has dialed in a liquid nutrition strategy delivering 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour, carried in a combination of waist-mounted and handheld bottles. His racing approach balances competitive ambition with practical wisdom, as he plans to maintain contact with the lead group while recognizing when to make strategic moves on the course's long descents.Coming off an impressive top-20 finish at the US Mountain Running Championships at Sunapee, Scott represents the exciting next generation of mountain runners from the Wasatch. As host James Lariello notes, Speed Goat has historically launched the careers of Utah-based trail stars like Hayden Hawks and Christian Allen – could Scott be next? Join us for this illuminating conversation that captures both the technical preparation and the infectious enthusiasm of trail running's rising talent.Follow Scott on IG - @scotty_ksmittyFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!
