minicooper51 review: ACE PRO Calf Sleeves

Recently, I had a chance to try out the new Ace Pro Calf sleeve. I had been reading up on the benefit of wearing calf sleeve on how it could help with shin splints and how it would help support the runner’s calf muscle therefore runner will be able to run longer and further as the calf sleeve would help to increase blood circulation thus reducing the effect of fatigue & cramps when running.

Being that this was the third time I am participating in this race since 2008, the run have seen little but yet significant changes over the years and had made participating in the race more enjoyable every time. Organizers had made productive changes to ensure that the participant had a really nice time participating in the race.

minicooper51: Salomon Speedcross 2 review

Trail running is fun but it can also be quite challenging as it typically involves running on Nature trails such as in MacRitchie Reservoir, Bukit Timah or Tampines Mountain Bike Park instead of normal roads or pavement. These trails are usually unpaved and the terrain is very uneven with holes, puddles tree roots or rocks covering the path. Those who are new to trail running will likely learn quickly that twisted ankles and knees are very common while trail running if a proper footwear is not use.
