These clever leggings are designed to support your knees and hips and aid alignment to reduce pain, swelling and fatigue.

Support shoes don’t always get the big fanfare of other running shoe launches, which is a shame because if you’re an overpronator looking for a shoe that offer a little support and stability on your run, these shoes are every bit as exciting as the latest speedy carbon race shoe. The Puma ForeverRun NITRO 2 is a shoe that you can rightly get pumped for because it has a lot going for it.

Hybrid fitness is having a moment. The rise in events that bring together running (yay!) with strength exercises and cross training elements doesn’t seem to be abating. It’s bringing together runners with those that love the gym to make us all more-rounded athletes, which can only be a good thing. While HYROX is leading the charge, there are plenty of other hybrid fitness events popping up across the country (and globe) for you to try. HYROX is undoubtedly the hybrid fitness event of the moment.
