Runners World (Dec 07 edition) has announced that the ASICS Gel Nimbus 9
to be the RW International Editor's choice Award from the worldwide wear testers
and after going through the RW Shoe Lab.High praise from the foremost running
magazine for distance runners in the world.
For me, my Best in the World Shoe is the ASICS Kayano ; I have now used 8 pairs since
2002 and having used various models,from Reebok Pump, ASICS 2110, New Balance 1223,
the Kayano is the shoe for me.
Named after the Japanese shoe designer,this motion control shoe is retailing for
S$ 196 (US$ 150) at most of the shoe shops in Queensway. It dosen't look pretty but
using the IGS (Impact Gel System) with reinforced mid-sole cushioning using their
patented Gel, this shoe is able to give me great cushioning on the forefoot as well
as the heel, 2 areas which plague many long distance runners.
Having the right "equipment" such as the shoes,running gear,sunglasses,
hydration belt will improve your time but more importantly, drinking enough,
body conditioning, proper nutrition and TRAINING are the key factors to
getting a good time for your run.
