The point of sportswear
Muse, Published on 18/03/2017
» The world of exercise can come along with its whole set of gear and it does make one wonder: just how crucial it is to shell out at least 3,000 baht for a pair of support leggings? Only a few names dominate this market, with Japan's CW-X long leading the pack -- albeit unsurprisingly, what with the country's known advancement in technology and innovation. For those outside the athlete loop, this name may be obscure, but has actually been on sale in Thailand for over a decade. Founded in 1991, this Japanese brand under the Wacoal umbrella, officially known as "Conditioning Wear", is actually the first in the world to offer sportswear that supports both the muscles and the joints. With their Human Science Research Center that has been studying how the body moves for over 40 years, the brand has an extensive knowledge as to how bone, joint and muscle should be moving.

Not all colour ranges are available in the stores right now as compared to the US (sobs), but there's still a good mix of solid pieces, colour-blocking patterns and flower-printed designs to choose from.
All the way around

» It is hardly a surprise that despite being among the 10 most expensive marathons in the world, the Kyoto Marathon is the eighth-most-registered. Perhaps the picturesque mountains, free strawberries from spectators and smiling monks lend a hand. With 16,000 runners from around the world landing in this old capital and another 15,000 volunteers all along the 42km route, it's an event of a grand scale that sees the whole city on shutdown with people coming together to revitalise Kyoto through sport, especially since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. After its devastating impact, the annual running competition has been the city's global promotion strategy to present the wonders and green environment of Kyoto to the world -- all in a most organised and orderly manner.
