IN ITALY WE RUN LIKE THIS

It is hard to resist to the temptation coming from a fresh panettone, the typical Italian holiday cake. As a matter of fact, the organizers of a local race in Firenze wanted to "make sure it was ok" - they opened a few boxes of the sweet treat, before distributing them as the participation prize to the runners, and had a pre-race "quality assurance" tasting session.

RUNNING SHOES REVIEW

BROOKS ADRENALINE GTS 19 - The Adrenaline has been Brooks top stability shoe for more than two decades, and round number 19 is the most innovative yet. The upper is an engineered mesh, supported by internal and external fused overlays, with a full lining of smooth textile and plush padding in the ankle collar, for a deluxe feel against the foot. The midsole is newly designed, with full length DNA foam, and a lateral crash pad of Brooks' new DNA Loft - a lighter and cushier formulation. The medial post has been removed, in favor of a new configuration, Guide Rails, which sit above the midsole medially and laterally, where the upper joins the midsole. The function is to allow the geometry of the sole to align the foot and offering guidance at the foot's level, instead of in the midsole. The outer sole has a familiar look to it, segmented to allow the foot to flex, with soft rubber in the forefoot and more durable, harder rubber in the heel. The changes to the shoe have been an upgrade in materials and performance, in keeping with its Go To Shoe (GTS) reputation.

Testers: "Plusher feel, but just as stable, great ride! Supportive upper with a smooth, comfortable feel. Long haul running shoe that works great for me."

THIS MONTH'S RECOMMENDED EVENT

 FEBRUARY 23 - Who does not know Cortina d'Ampezzo? Located in the heart of the Alps in the Veneto region, it is a winter sport resort known for its skiing trails, scenery, accommodation, shops, and for its jet-set and aristocratic European crowd. Several films have been shot here, mostly notably "The Pink Panther", "For Your Eyes Only", and "Cliffhanger", and now the Cortina C.A.I. Snow Run allows runners to steal the scene. This is a semi-autonomous nocturnal running race in the mountain, taking place on prepped ski slopes of the 1956 Winter Olympics. The race route starts from the bell tower and ends at the Olympic Ice Stadium. It is approximately 17 kilometers long with vertical gain of 1380 meters and must be completed within the maximum time of five hours.
