While everyone’s falling asleep safe and sound or even having fun on their weekend night, it’s a different scenario for Sabah’s running scene. It’s time to run out in the darkness for the Asia Xtreme Adventure (AXA) X12 Dark Run which was held on Sunday, 1 March 2015 at Nexus Karambunai Resort in a suburban area of Sepanggar. The event flagged off at 12:00 a.m. and went on till 6:00 a.m. in the morning.

Taking another revolutionary step forward, Reebok has now launched the ZPump Fusion, the latest update to The Pump Technology. Armed with a new, branded, air-filled cage, the running shoe surrounds and moulds to any foot, providing a customised, locked-in fit.

Marathon runners are a special breed of athlete. The training starts well in advance of race day and could entail a number of rituals, procedures and traditions. You’re not crazy; you’re just a marathon runner. One of the worst feelings in the world is the sense of completion. After you’re done running your marathon, you’ll immediately start searching for your next challenge. Here’s one for you: try to remember all the memorable aromas and smells that come with your favourite athletic sport.

What better inspiration for a woman who grew up in a family that prioritized fitness? Sure, Baghot may seem an unlikely muse for a woman whose passion is body building, but that fitness niche has brought her fame, recognition and admirers. Azima’s other physical pursuits include running and roller derbies. Extreme sports? She’s fearless! If Walter Bagehot met Azmi today, the first thing he might notice is her sparkling personality followed by a big smile and a body that doesn’t quit.
