Since its debut in 1999, the GEL-Nimbus has withstood the test of time and is currently on version 25 of the brand’s flagship cushion shoe. It's only fitting that the GEL-Nimbus is one of the many classics that made 40 years of running what it is today for us!
We're stoked to introduce two new colorways online now!

🚨SO YOU RAN A MARATHON…NOW WHAT?!🚨
🏆 First of all congrats!
Whether it’s your 1st, 2nd, or 15th Marathon, you did it!
Take a moment to soak it in- regardless of your time, you’re one of the 1% of the ENTIRE population that made it happen!
But the question is often, now what?!
🤯 Guess what- you don’t have to do anything!!!
It’s okay to take a day or even a few weeks off from running.
Even if you have another race coming up, these tips can still apply to you!
⭐️ Here are a few of simple tips to carry you through to your next training cycle:
1. REST! - take that literally! Turn off the 4 am alarm to get that morning mileage in. Sleep, kick your feet up, and relax. Your body heals when you are sleeping!
2. RECOVER! - Eat like you ran 26.2 miles. Proper nutrition and hydration is just as important in your body’s recovery as anything else!
3. STRENGTH TRAIN! - Take time to step back from running to focus on strength gains! The time you spent with runs- replace some with focused strength training. We promise you won’t forget how to run.
4. REHAB INJURIES! - Remember those nagging pains you pushed through for the final half of marathon training? Rest might make them feel better, but rehabbing will help to fix the source! Do it NOW before the next training cycle. Your body will thank you!

✨ Super Star Alert ✨
Though she won’t see this for a couple more hours, we wanted to wish good luck today taking on the Barkley Marathons 🎉
For those who are unfamiliar, the Barkley Marathons is an ultramarathon held each year in Frozen Head State Park, but the course varies year to year 😮💨 Did we mention this stretches across 100 miles!?
An amazing runner taking on an amazing race, let’s all send some good energy to help her push through this 🏃♀️💨
🤓 Tired of those Cranky Knees?! TRY THESE! 🤓
- If you’re dealing with knee pain related diagnoses such as patellar tendinopathy or “runner’s knee” then exercises like squats or lunges might be irritating.
- However it’s important to build tissue tolerance while also building strength.
- These are some great options that not only minimize the amount of stress on the knee but still allow for building at the quad muscle.
- Again, start within a pain free range of motion and slowly progress to full range, then follow with increased resistance!
- Try these 3!
1. Wall Squats
2. Spanish Squats
3. Heel Elevated Squats

The Glycerin 20 is for runners who want that supremely soft cushioning that lets them free their minds and get lost in the run.
So what's new this year?
✨An updated midsole that features nitrogen infused DNA LOFT v3, Brooks softest cushioning yet.
✨ New cushioning and redesigned outsole deliver smoother and more stable transitions.
✨ All-new engineered mesh upper is lightweight and breathable.
Did Brooks just make one of their staples that much better?
🔥Today It’s All About Strengthening Your Quads! 🔥
💪 There are a number of reasons to build quad strength:
- Knee Pain (Runner’s Knee, Patellar Tendinopathy, for example)
- Post Knee Surgery (ACL, Meniscus, etc)
- General Injury Prevention
- Sports Performance
- Improving Physique
•
🧐 Depending on factors such as strength, access to equipment, injury, or current pain levels, these exercises and their difficulty will vary.
🏋️♀️ Here are a few great options that isolate the quads in a single leg position. They can be modified or progressed based on your needs.
Our Tip Guru Dr. Williams got a feel for the Brooks Glycerin 20 and was in love with the first wear!
What she loved:
💜 The lightweight design yet sturdy feel to the shoe
💜 The consistency- whenever a shoe is on the 20th version, you know it’s always a good choice
💜 A classic neutral shoe- I can definitely get in some serious mileage in these!
🧡 Remember, it's not just your body you have to take care of but your feet as well! 🧡
