Be Part of the Iffley Road Legacy

Ryan Joshua Mahindapala — Sun, 26 Apr 2020 16:28:25 +0000

What’s Up Your Sleeve? If the Answer is “My Calves,” Discover the Rockay Difference

Bernardine Chin — Fri, 07 Feb 2020 03:16:49 +0000

I can’t recall who introduced me to compression sleeves, but if I could thank them right now, I would. These small running accessories offer big benefits, keeping blood properly flowing between my heart and legs so even if I don’t perform like Usain Bolt, I can feel confident that these products are helping me to [...]

Reebok Forever Floatride Energy Revives Reebok In the Running Scene Again

Iskandar Shahril — Fri, 10 May 2019 02:57:26 +0000

Receiving the new Reebok Forever Floatride Energy has brought a sense of nostalgia for me. While I do have Reebok apparel for sports, I have not considered this brand for running shoes for a very long time. To put things in context, I grew up in the 1980s when aerobics was the most popular form [...]

Zungle Viper: Bone Conduction Sunglasses Review

Kelvin Yup — Thu, 18 Apr 2019 05:03:02 +0000

I confess: The eyewear I like to wear needs to look as good as it functions, which is why I took a long, hard look at the Zungle Viper to deliver a balanced review. Was I struck by the uniqueness of these glasses? Not exactly. They look just like the shades I’ve been stalking during [...]

New Balance Continues Its Fresh Foam Technology With Zante Pursuit

Iskandar Shahril — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 00:57:41 +0000

The New Balance Fresh Foam Zante series has honestly been a hit-and-miss affair for me. When it was first introduced around 2015, I was attracted to its blue-and-pink colours to give it a shot; previously I was an ardent fan of New Balance’s cushioned 1080 series. That first generation Zante was light, responsive and lasted [...]

Do You Wear The Same Shoes for Training and Racing?

Iskandar Shahril — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 08:53:07 +0000

In an ideal world with infinite resources, we would be in ownership of all types of running shoes: racing flats for short distance runs, cushioning shoes for long runs to save our knees and other joints, as well perhaps some affordable ones to run in wet weather conditions. And then, we also have shoes that [...]

I Almost Gave Up Until I Began Wearing Saucony Ride ISO Running Shoes

Melinda — Sat, 03 Nov 2018 13:56:13 +0000

Having ended my summer with a less-than-perfect track record of personal bests (not to mention no new finisher medals), I began to wonder if I was smart to put so much time and energy into my conditioning and competitive runs. I seemed to be getting nowhere fast. Eager to take one last shot at my [...]

ASICS Gel Nimbus 20 Running Shoes Review: My Adventures in The Land of Gel

Chia Kangjin — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 15:08:59 +0000

There are plenty of pressing questions assaulting you daily from the moment you awaken to the time you (hopefully) nod off after powering down your smartphone to get a good night’s sleep. One of them may relate to your search for a new pair of running shoes, so I’d like to share my experience so [...]

I Finally Unlocked My Achievement at OCC UTMB 2018

Iskandar Shahril — Fri, 28 Sep 2018 10:08:09 +0000

It has been three weeks since I competed at the Orsières-Champex-Chamonix (OCC) race category of the famed Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB). It was a personal proud moment as it marked a milestone in my journey as a running enthusiast. The OCC is the shortest distance category on offer that required qualifying races, and while [...]

adidas PureBOOST GO Tried and Tested at On-The-Go City Hunt

Kaizer Low — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 07:21:44 +0000

For starters, the Amazing Race styled hunt was actually part of the adidas Runners’ fortnightly running session where members gather around fortnightly for running sessions organised by the brand. What I like about adidas Runners’ Singapore is their philosophy behind the club. Not only that the running route and challenges changes every fortnight, of late [...]

GoPro Hero 6 Goes Where Mobile Phones Can’t!

Iskandar Shahril — Tue, 14 Aug 2018 11:16:26 +0000

Let’s just say that when I first got my hands on this new GoPro, the sun, moon and stars did not align and it took quite some time to warm up to it. Charging took ages, the camera was easily hot, my fingers fumbled with the rear touchscreen, and soon enough, the battery went flat. [...]

Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo Review: Make It Your Daily Distance Training Shoes

Iskandar Shahril — Sat, 04 Aug 2018 09:05:50 +0000

In the last few weeks, I have had the privilege of reviewing four highly rated shoes from established brands. Granted, no pair of shoes are perfect, but over time, I have developed my preferences, and the Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo is one of two models that have seen significant mileage since I got my hands [...]

My adidas PureBOOST Go Review Leads to a Crisis of Conscience

Xu Ding — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 08:37:58 +0000

Being asked to try on a new shoe once it comes onto the market can be challenging. I need to put ‘em on. Run around. Figure out what I like and what I don’t like. Then, I must be as honest as possible, so I don’t mislead readers. But something happened to my “unbiased” opinion [...]

I Will Earn My Flying Wings Wearing Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35

Melinda — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 13:28:22 +0000

Though Bellerophon never finished his journey, Pegasus made it to Olympus. Zeus was so impressed by the horse’s brave effort, he turned him into the constellation that I can see from my bedroom window between the months of September and November when every star in the Pegasus constellation lights up the Singapore sky. Why do [...]

Think Long Distance Running, Think adidas Ultraboost Parley

Iskandar Shahril — Wed, 25 Jul 2018 12:41:26 +0000

Pablo Picasso was famously quoted “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist”. Perhaps, this applies to a talented painter, sculptor, poet, playwright that he is, but what about to mere mortals like us? About a month ago, I had to break my own rules when it comes to [...]

Lizzy Hawker Runner: A Truly Inspirational Story

Lee Nah — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 08:04:45 +0000

I’m not a fan of reading a book nor do I dislike it, but after reading Lizzy Hawker’s book, Runner, without me realising I was already sort of got “addicted” to it. Strangely, it makes me want to keep reading about her running journey and curious about what she had to go through to get [...]

Rowkin Surge Charge: You Can Barely Feel Them On Your Ears!

Lee Nah — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 05:25:33 +0000

Feeling fed up running with wires? Or annoyed with the earphones that keep coming off as you run? Well, you are not the only one because I feel the same too. Running with wires dangling in front of you is definitely distracting and what I did to solve that problem was to wrap then wires [...]

iWOWNFIT i6 HRC: My First Smart Band and A Great Simple Fitness Tracker

Lee Nah — Sun, 03 Jun 2018 13:20:29 +0000

Before I was being introduced to iWOWNfit i6 HRC, either I’ll run without my phone to just have a jog around the area or I’ll just have my runs with my phone on my hand. Troublesome, but that’s the only way I could do to track my distance. Many would have asked me to get [...]

Can Sportswear Be Beautiful? Fit Rebel Says Yes!

Celine Oi — Mon, 14 May 2018 16:10:38 +0000

Being a huge fan of wearing leggings when working out, I have tried out many different types, be it the usual cotton ones, Compression tights; you name it, I have probably worn it before. Therefore I quickly jumped at the chance to try out Fit Rebel’s SENI Leggings collection. I have never heard of the [...]
