The Fujilyte 2 shoe is inspired by the Hinoki Cypress tree that’s native to Mount Fuji. It keeps you focused on the path ahead and guides you towards a more positive mindset. Shoe name: ASICS Fuji Lyte 2Terrain: Trail RunningShoe type: NaturalHeel drop/offset: 4mm I was fortunate enough to receive a pair of FujiLyte 2’s from ASICS, and I have to say I was very impressed with the appearance and the look and feel.

Personally, I…

In 2020 I tackled the Otter African Trail Run, the proverbial ‘grail of trail’ seven months after giving birth to my second child. It was nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster for the for me. Here are some of my highlights and lowlights from the gruelling 41km challenge along our beautiful Garden Route.  HIGHLIGHT: Just being there I’ve always wanted to run Otter – it was the race that sparked my interest in trail running way back but has always just been a bit out of reach.
