Jogging is a form of trotting or running at a slow or leisurely pace. The main intention is to increase fitness with less stress on the body than from faster running. Jogging is often used by serious runners as a means of active recovery during interval training. The runner who may just have completed a fast 400 metre repetition at a sub-5-minute mile pace, may drop to an 8-minute mile pace for a recovery lap.

Jogging helps to reduce stubborn belly fat. Stubborn fat can be very hard to shift, and a running program can really help to cut down on the last of your stubborn fat.

If you suffer from poor appetite, jogging will improve your appetite. Along with all other forms of exercise - the harder you work, the more you need to eat to repair your muscles and refuel them. When you start to run longer distances you will start to eat to fuel your body, and may even find that you need to eat more food everyday, than you did when you were overweight.

When the sport of jogging became a national obsession in the 1970s, bringing with it a fascination with fitness, people were looking for appropriate attire for running along city streets and country lanes, or jogging in place at the gym. Baseball, football, basketball, and hockey players had uniforms that were designed for the specifics of their sport and runners were looking for the same. Casual street clothes such as jeans and a loosely-fitted shirt were impractical. The old T-shirt and shorts or one-piece cotton gym suit was not fashionable.

How do you improve on the award-winning Trance™ 7? You pack the Trance™ 8 with the same top-of-the-line technologies that made its predecessor an award winner and make it more environmentally friendly by adding BioMoGo, the world's first biodegradable midsole. Then you tweak the design to look sophisticated and clean. The result? Tons of cush wrapped in a pristine, new, "green" package.

The Brooks® Trance 8 women's running shoe delivers exceptional motion control and stability during your run. It features the biodegradable BioMoGo midsole for springy, responsive cushioning, as well as a lightweight mesh upper for a supportive, breathable fit.

I love the Trance 8 - am on my third pair and just ordered 6 more! Brooks put a slight arch support into Trance 9 and it doesn't hit my foot right - very uncomfortable. I'm so thankful that Trance 8 seems to have been re-issued. I've now stocked up. Great motion control and just the right amount of cushioning. I was born with flat feet, and this shoe is absolutely the most comfortable running shoe I've tried. I get about 450 to 500 miles out of each pair.

The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler has long become reality, and his corporate philosophy the guiding principle for successor generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant. Adi Dassler’s aim was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War.

The adidas name dates back to 1948, deriving from the first two syllables of Adi Dassler’s first and last name. One year later, Adi Dassler registered the Three Stripes as a trademark. After a period spanning almost 70 years, the Dassler Family withdrew from the company in 1989, and the enterprise was transformed into a corporation ("Aktiengesellschaft"). French-born Robert Louis-Dreyfus was Chairman of the Executive Board from April 1993 to March 2001. It was he who initiated adidas’ flotation on the stock market in November 1995. adidas--a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport around the globe. Today, the adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf.

The women's Premium Basics range is a quality collection of stylish and versatile wardrobe classics. This easy-to-wear hoody is bolstered by a stylish stripe pattern and subtle feminine detailing.
