Evgen Polishchuk
Nordic Walking Athlete from Ukraine
My Story
I am a Nordic walking athlete from Ukraine, a member of the club “Nordic Brovary” with the 1st sports category. Nordic walking is my sport, and GaitLab is where I share what I have learned about it.
I am not a coach and not a medical professional. The guides on GaitLab are written from published research, manufacturers’ specifications, independent lab data (such as RunRepeat) and aggregated owner reviews, to help you understand the evidence before you decide what is right for you.
GaitLab grew from a personal blog because I saw a gap: there was no single, trustworthy destination combining evidence-based Nordic walking guidance with practical trekking advice and transparent gear reviews. Most content online was either too commercial or too superficial. GaitLab fills that gap with honest, source-based content.
Background

Why Trust GaitLab
Every recommendation on this site is based on published specifications, independent lab data where it exists, and aggregated owner reviews. No sponsored content, no paid placements. When I recommend a product, it is because the available evidence suggests it delivers genuine value.
GaitLab uses affiliate links (primarily Amazon Associates) to fund the site. When you purchase through our links, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences our editorial choices — we recommend what we would use ourselves.
How Guides Are Written
Every product featured on GaitLab is evaluated against the same criteria: construction quality, materials and weight from the manufacturer’s specifications, durability and comfort as reported by owners, and value relative to comparable alternatives. Where independent lab measurements exist (for example RunRepeat for footwear), the guide cites them.
Nutrition, training plan, and biohacking content is cross-referenced against peer-reviewed research (PubMed, Journal of Sports Sciences). I flag when evidence is preliminary and distinguish between what the research supports and what remains speculative.
