INTRODUCING THE NEW BALANCE SUPERCOMP TRAINER V2 -- NEW COLOUR!
The V1 of this shoe was a super stack height, (actually illegal for road racing) high volume trainer. The v2 brings that back in line so now you can train and race in the same shoe.
Check them out here!
https://gone.run/collections/new-balance-supercomp-trainer
Energy return technology is extremely important in races where every second counts, and this pair of FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v2 pours this technology into running shoes suitable for long-distance running.
The thickened midsole and arched carbon fiber plate are firmly held between the two layers of FuelCell cushioning, forming a hollow in the center of the shoe.
Every time the wearer takes a step, the carbon fiber plate will move flat in the hollow position, forming a rebound and driving force between each deformation and return to the original shape, helping you to break through yourself and achieve better performance.
TECH SPEC
✅ Energy Arc technology: combined with sports-specific carbon fiber plates and a special hollow midsole, it helps store greater energy and achieve better energy return effects
✅ FuelCell foam midsole provides propulsion to help you move forward with ease
✅ Breathable flat knit upper molds to the shape of the foot
✅ Weight 282g
✅ Stack Height 38mm heel, 32mm Forefoot

THE GONE RUNNERS NIGHT AT THE RACES! 6th April 2023
We take our running seriously, but we also take our fun seriously too and last night was our first return to "Happy Wednesday" since the restrictions were lifted.
We did this Pre-Covid and how wonderful to be able to do it again.
The horse knowledge on show was incredible. Everyone an expert! 😆 In the end we kept picking the brown one!! The going was "good to yielding" by the end of the evening but I blame the beer not the torrential downpour! 🌨️
Thankyou to the Hong Kong Jockey Club for organizing this for us, Vikki Lam in particular!. It was a great evening indeed!
If you want to get involved with the club and join all of our running and social activities we have a special deal for new joiners until the end of April. $100 hkd off the annual membership.

THE GONE RUNNERS SATURDAY SUMMER LEAGUE IS BACK!
Your motivation to run each Saturday right through the heat of the summer. In fact the hotter and more humid, the better.

Your fastest time on the route during the summer season serves as your base time. Added to this you get points for effort.
You get a point for turning up. The more humid, the more points. The hotter, the more points, if its raining, more points, Amber, Black crazy points, T1, T3, T8, T10 well you understand!.
Age and gender graded the person(s) with the most points at the end of the summer (end of September) is awarded The Golden Boot.
You have to record your run each Saturday on the GR Saturday Run segment on Strava, it can be later in the day if you like, but the group run starts at 8.30am, WanchaI Gap Park.
