IN ITALY WE RUN LIKE THIS

Participants to the "UMS", the ultramarathon Milano-Sanremo, must (bend and) touch the sea water to officially complete the gruesome challenge. The race measures 285 kilometers or 177 miles - crossing three Italian regions and 54 municipalities, it is the longest non-stop running event in Europe, virtually connecting the waters of the historic Navigli canals of Milan to those of the Italian Riviera in front of Sanremo.

RUNNING SHOES REVIEW

REEBOK FLOATRIDE RUN FAST - The Floatride Run Fast is shoe number two, in a trio of Reebok running shoes that provide serious performance, since it is especially geared toward long races, tempos, and faster running on the roads. The upper is a thin engineered mesh, with a tongue that is airy and flexible. Welded overlays in the mid-foot provide a supported, but very lightweight structure. The midsole is the same polyamide foam found in the beefier Floatride Run, here with a slightly scaled back cradle, but a similar forefoot stack height, that features good flexibility and a nice bounce to the ride. The outer sole is a compound which provides great traction, but is thinned out for weight savings, though more than capable of handling long runs and some pretty serious mileage. The versatility shown in daily training, fast runs, and especially long races - including the marathon, proved the mettle of this light weight performer. New shoe.

Testers: "Crazy light and really moves, but protects at the same time. Maybe not for everybody, but if it fits it's a keeper. Better living through chemistry, indeed!"

THIS MONTH'S RECOMMENDED EVENT

 APRIL 14 - Don't be put off by the English title T-Fast 10k. Formerly known as "Tutta dritta" (All straight) this international event in northern Italy is a super-fast 10k in Torino on a beautiful, no-curves boulevard, connecting the historic center of the former Italian capital to the Palazzina di caccia of Stupinigi, the hunting "lodge" that was once one of the residences of the Royal House of Savoy, and today part of the Unesco World Heritage Sites list. The building has a total of 137 rooms and 17 galleries, and covers 31,050 square meters, although its original purpose is symbolized by the bronze deer placed on the top of the roof.
