How to start running, keep running, and look good in the process. This Dubai club will get you moving in 2017.
When it comes to running there’s a conventional wisdom that states: there’s only so long you can pretend to be Rocky Balboa, on the early morning streets of Philly, ahead of a grudge match with Apollo Creed. After that, keeping your New Year’s running commitment on track is nigh on impossible. You’ve heard that, right? It’s almost definitely a thing.
OK, let’s put it this way: running is difficult. Pounding the pavement first thing in the morning or last thing at night can be tough on both the knees and the mind. Always branded as a solo effort, even if you make it out there, pushing on for a personal best is often an uphill struggle.
Adidas Runners is a global concept that’s now in Dubai and it’s aiming for a cult-like following that will not only get you moving forward, but also teach you smarts on training, nutrition and technique. If you’re looking for kit, Runbase at d3 will house some of the best gear on the market and, finally, it’ll also help you make friends that you can run with around the city in the process.
Emirates Man spoke to Adidas Runners Dubai captain, and four-time Guinness World record holder, Lee Ryan, about the challenges ahead, and what to expect from Dubai Runners.
