NIKE ODYSSEY REACT FLYKNIT 2 - Nike's React foam has been well received by a large variety of runners, and the Odyssey was one of the primary beneficiaries, receiving a major overhaul from its dual density midsole to single density React foam with a TPU support on the medial edge. Round 2 continues with the same midsole configuration, and a focus on a new upper. Flyknit's success on the Vaporfly 4% and Epic React has reinforced its acceptance in other shoes, and here features its stretchy and supportive fit combined with welded overlays in the saddle to lock down the midfoot. As with other Flyknit shoes the close fit has its fans and the rest, so give it a try before you decide its merits. The bouncy ride and close fit make it comfortable for mid to moderate mileage, though the experience will determine if it is suited to your foot. Updates the Odyssey React.

DECEMBER 15 - Experience Roma like never before. The Roma City Trail is the first and only urban trail in the heart of the Italian capital. The race starts from the district of Trastevere on the west bank of the river Tiber, passes through the streets of the Gianicolo hill, crosses into the park of Villa Doria Pamphilj (a seventeenth-century villa with what is today the largest landscaped public park in the city), before returning back on its tracks. Two distances to choose, both competitive and non competitive - a long one (about 15.2k) and a short one (about 9.2k). A fun running experience for everyone with up and down sections between stretches of asphalt and natural environment. www.romacitytrail.it |
