Reebok Fast Flexweave
It has been some time since we heard anything new from the Reebok stable. The Flexweave launch comes much after Floatride, which I reviewed here for RunRepeat.com. It was a brave effort, a fairly good shoe but priced too high to encourage buyers to be swayed by a brand with a not-as-established running DNA. It boasted… Continue reading Reebok Fast Flexweave
Reebok Crossfit Nano 7
Change is always difficult. The irony is that it is only through change that we can get better and yet as much as we want change, we equally oppose it. This has pretty much been the case with the latest Crossfit product from the Reebok stable: the Nano 7. Comparisons to all previous models starting from… Continue reading Reebok Crossfit Nano 7
Indian Wine Duties Revisited
So the last time I broached this subject was a good few years ago. The comments poured in heavy requesting for the promised sheet with the duty calculation formula. I diligently sent it around but a few months down it was outdated. I promised a new one shortly but then fell off the map. I… Continue reading Indian Wine Duties Revisited
Heart on Your…ermm, Wrist! (Optical HR)
A first-hand review of the Garmin Fenix 3 Sapphire & Tomtom Spark Cardio, both HR versions Till a few years ago athletes had no problem wearing heart-rate monitor straps.

Advice for Men: Asian Age Column
We as a species have managed to beat the deadliest of disease, explore other planets, and even find a way to create babies in a test tube. And yet we still haven’t found the answer to some very simple problems: baldness, for one. Missing socks in a washing machine. Or who let the dogs out!?… Continue reading Advice for Men: Asian Age Column
Adidas Pureboost ZG – Review
Great News! The shoe is in and well run in too. In short – it works. Lots of good stuff here but lots of old stuff here too. The preview note has been relegated to the bottom of this entry for it had some features already mentioned so no point repeating them. That established, the… Continue reading Adidas Pureboost ZG – Review
Speedo Fastskin 3 Elite (2015)
So man figured out long ago that based on mere human strength and potential, past the point of undying human grit and sheer determination, and after every possible inspirational quote has been uttered and all motivating posters, scanned, he can only go ye fast. To go any faster he would need technology, but only the kind that… Continue reading Speedo Fastskin 3 Elite (2015)
The Wine Wordsmith
What’s in a word, a lot if you are trying to describe that “tingling sensation” on the tongue which was then followed by that milky thing and then tasted like that fruit which you just can’t put your palate on now. I am sure you have faced that dilemma in other fields too; when you… Continue reading The Wine Wordsmith
Adidas & the Boost Family
Much remains to be said about that super cool urban sports brand, Adidas, which was somehow a latecomer on the running scene in India. Never mind the fact that they are behind some of the most formidable athletes and football teams (cricket too but I don’t care much for the game really) and yet in India,… Continue reading Adidas & the Boost Family
