The Velocity NITRO 4 is Puma's latest and most advanced daily trainerโdesigned for runners of all speeds looking to feel fast and supported on their everyday runs. This edition of the Velocity is special: it's the first whose midsole is entirely made of lightweight, supercritical foam - making the sneaker feel unusually fast and responsive for a daily trainer. โ Senior Editor Alex calls it one of the most versatile running shoes he has tested this year. Here, he shares what he likes about the NITRO 4, and what could be improved, to help you decide if this running shoe is right for you.
Increasing your cadence can help reduce impact forces, improve your running efficiency, and yes, make you faster. Itโs one of those rare win-wins in training.
In this guide, Iโll walk you through how to increase your cadence in a smart, sustainable wayโand explain how it can help you chase those PRs with more speed and less strain.
Beijing hosted an unusual sporting debut this week as the first-ever World Humanoid Robot Games got underway, with hundreds of two-legged machines competing across a range of disciplines from soccer and table tennis to dance and kickboxing.
The main event, however, came on the track: a 1,500-meter race in which Chinaโs leading robots lined up for a head-to-head endurance test.
Letโs face itโโstretchingโ is not a runnerโs favorite word. I know youโd much rather be running than lunging on the sidewalk.
However, we strongly suggest all runners warm up before their workouts to prepare their bodies and muscles for whatโs to come, increase the range of motion in their joints, and ease into their workout for the day.
With the advent of fitness trackers that can easily quantify biometrics, many runners are already recording their daily resting heart rate.
Looking at that data, some may wonder: why is my resting heart rate so high?
Various factors, such as genetics, climate conditions, stress levels, lifestyle changes, and health conditions and heart health, may influence your resting heart rate.
