Some models of ASICS running shoes have undergone a total transformation with regard to previous versions, both in the improvement of their technologies and in their design. The commitment to the carbon plate is maintained in their faster models and each type of runner has an ASICS running shoe that adapts to their running characteristics.

Graduated in Business Sciences and Master in Sport Management. I am passionate about sport, it is my way of life and indispensable in my daily life. I'm lucky to work in a field that I enjoy very much. I love starting the day with a little running or trail running to charge the physical and mental batteries. I also like to travel and, sometimes under the excuse of participating in a race. I'm collaborator of RUNNEA, hoping to contribute, to add valor to the project and to the area in general.
