Imagine a shoe that has the ability to adapt to the way you run. Puma calls this new and innovative technology, adaptive running. Instead of your feet relying on the specific purposes of your running shoe, the Puma Mobium Elite works the other way round. It changes and expands to accommodate the natural movement of your feet with every stride you take. The Puma Mobium adapts to you.

“The marathon is not to be underestimated,” I thought to myself as I half-walked and half-jogged the 42.195km of the Sundown Marathon 2013. It was my first ever marathon and I was exhilarated. However, my training spoke otherwise. The longest training run I had only stretched to 20km, which is insufficient if I am training for a full marathon.

On a Saturday morning, nearly 100 Shape Run 2013 participants gathered at East Coast Park at the crack of dawn. They were all ready and thrilled to go for a good 5 kilometres run in preparation of the upcoming Shape Run in July. Runners can also choose to carry on to complete 10 kilometres if they feel good to go.

Over 2,700 runners gathered for Run For Life 2013, organised by Life Community Services Society. For the first time in 17 years, LCSS decided to embark on a charity run to raise funds, increase awareness and support for the less privileged.

The luminous fusion of lime-green and fuchsia pink was certainly eye-grabbing and I personally favour how the shoe doesn’t appear “overly-feminine” despite the loud tone of pink. The hint of neon-green brought zest and I was all excited to lace up and hit the trails. Don’t be fooled by the thickness of the sole, the cushioning provided a snug fit and there was sufficient ankle support.
