For starters, the Amazing Race styled hunt was actually part of the adidas Runners\u2019 fortnightly running session where members gather around fortnightly for running sessions<\/a> organised by the brand. <\/p>\n

What I like about adidas Runners\u2019 Singapore<\/a> is their philosophy behind the club. Not only that the running route and challenges changes every fortnight, of late they had upped their game plan with more holistic training programmes such as collaborations with various fitness partners to host conditioning and training workshops, Pilates classes, they even share running tips on their Facebook group with the objective to aid members to train not just harder but smarter so as to elevate their performance. <\/p>\n

With the group\u2019s increasing popularity, seats are really limited (80 to 100 attendees depending on the run format and scale) and prior registration is a definite if you don\u2019t wish to face any disappointment. Join the group @adidas Runners Singapore<\/a> to find out more. <\/p>\n

PureBOOST GO: On-The-Go City Hunt<\/h2>\n

With the theme in mind, obviously this session is entirely different. Shaking things up a little, instead of another running session, the session had a competitive edge. First, participants were grouped into teams then were told that there were 8 challenges to complete. <\/p>\n

Finally, with the first clue given, we pounded the streets of Orchard Road in hopes to be the first team to return to the store so that we may win the grand prize \u2013 a pair of PureBOOST GO retailing at S$170 each. Yes, you read me right. A pair of PureBOOST GO each. That certainly brought out the competitive side of everyone. Although I am already equipped with a pair, who minds a second?<\/p>\n

The \u201cAccidental\u201d Stress Test<\/h2>\n

Now, even though it was only 8 pit stops and almost 40 mins to complete the entire course, we ran up escalators, sped past underpasses, sprinted along the pavements, dodged the early tourists who are not aware that the malls aren\u2019t open till 10 a.m. and performed all our tasks like our lives depended on it. <\/p>\n

Through all these, unknowingly it actually put my PureBOOST GO to an excellent stress test. On-The-Go City Hunt, cleverly allowed me to experience the shoes\u2019 functionality all at one go. Brilliant!<\/p>\n

PureBOOST GO could be the real deal or rather my real deal, at least<\/h2>\n

Now, the new adidas PureBOOST GO is marketed as; <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The shoe that is made for city running.<\/li>\n
  2. Designed for changing directions with urban running in mind.<\/li>\n
  3. The expanded Landing Zone increases forefoot stability during multi-directional movements.<\/li>\n
  4. Features a BOOST midsole, adidas\u2019 industry-defining technology that offers runners endless energy return.<\/li>\n
  5. For a more comfortable fit and a better running experience, a deconstructed circular knit upper, crafted from a breathable fabric, improves flexibility and freedom of movement with each step.<\/li>\n
  6. Versatile design makes the PureBOOST GO perfect for running to work, then wearing all day long.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    First impression counts<\/h2>\n

    Frankly, when I first put on the pair of darlings and went through the entire \u201cstress test\u201d, all the pointers above had already mentality checked.<\/p>\n
