The Mercury E-dition

WITH SUNDESH MAHES

WELCOME to ‘SPORTS DRIPS’ for this week.

It’s been a exciting week on the international stage with the Proteas doing amazingly well in the Caribbean, the European Championship in full swing, and the Copa America kicking off in South America. And we are looking forward to the CAF Champions League semi-final clash between Wydad Casablanca and Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday.

Now that we’ve entered the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and are on Lockdown level 3, team sports for amateurs will be halted, so keeping fit and healthy is on your own account.

South Africa has some amazing scenic spots where you can run or go for that long hike – Cape Town has Lions Head, Johannesburg has the Walter Sisulu Gardens or and Melville Koppies, and Durban has some beautiful trails for off road runners.

Today we will be taking a closer look at trail running/hiking shoes from various brands including Under Armour, Nike, adidas, New Balance, and Asics, and we will give you our top 10 picks.

Keep moving, stay warm and stay safe.
