Taking the time to move, either by yourself or as part of a group, is one of life's simple pleasures, and it can benefit you beyond keeping yourself trim; there's an intrinsic link between our physical well-being and its mental counterpart. With mental health now receiving a great deal of focus within our collective conversation, there's growing awareness that one of the best things you can do if you're feeling anything less than great is to lace on a pair of trainers. However, while you're taking care of your mental health, you should ensure your feet are well looked after too, and in this regard, it's worth remembering that not all trainers are created equal. So, whether you're an experienced runner or just making your first foray into that world, it's worth taking a glance downwards and asking if you're giving your feet the care they deserve. Cushioned Comfort, Premium Performance Enter the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 32, your state-of-the-art fitness ally, featuring running shoe innovations that deliver the pinnacle of support and comfort. It doesn't matter if you're looking to push your limits in terms of distance and speed or taking a more relaxed approach to your fitness routine, this is the footwear you need. While designed to provide extended comfort for longer runs through premium stability and plush cushioning, they will keep your feet cared for no matter how long you pound the pavement. That's because these shoes offer adaptive guidance and moderate stability with premium cushioning to maximise your comfort during and after your run. This is crucial because nothing triggers regret or makes it more difficult to turn running into a habit quite like the sore feet that come from completing even just a few kilometres in the wrong shoes. ASICS achieves the support and comfort you need through its 4D Guidance System, which offers advanced geometry designed to guide your foot forward from the instant it lands to the moment your toe leaves the ground again. Each shoe also boasts a reinforced tongue wing along the arch, which provides additional comfort and support. Further, the FF Blast Plus foam midsole manages to combine greater stack height with a reduction in weight, providing more balance and making your experience even more comfortable. Plus, ASICS' PureGEL technology enhances shock absorption, meaning you'll experience soft, cushioned landings with every stride. Again, say goodbye to aching feet the day after a run. Carbon-Conscious & Colourways Galore Not only is the GEL-KAYANO 32 good for your feet, but the shoe's carbon footprint just 10.3kg CO2e per pair, 29 per cent lower than the industry average. What's more, the shoe comes in a wide range of colourways. While the White/Orange Glow option is our top pick, there are handsome options in red, black, blue, and more. Plus, be sure to check out for additional colourways or ASICS Branded Stores to see GEL-KAYANO™ 32 in person. For experienced athletes and enthusiastic amateurs alike, ASICS GEL-KAYANO 32 is guaranteed to up your running game.

Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards says midfielder Hayden Hackney is "fully committed" to the club despite being linked with a number of Premier League 23-year-old England Under-21 international featured in Boro's 3-3 pre-season draw at Mansfield Town on Saturday."As far as I know and I'm aware at the moment, he's here and that's why he's out playing on the pitch," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees."He's fully committed, he loves this football club."Another player who featured during the match was defender Darragh Lenihan, making his return to competitive football after almost two years Republic of Ireland international, capped four times by his country, has not featured since September 2023 after undergoing ankle surgery and Edwards is handling the 31-year-old's comeback with caution."He's getting there so we will keep building up the minutes," Edwards added."He's in a position where we are still always looking at what he's doing and trying to manage it but he wants to do everything."It's important we try to make some good decisions to try to keep him out there. It'll be a huge plus for us having a fit Darragh Lenihan."Listen to the full interview with Rob Edwards and more on BBC Sounds.

The major Middlesbrough decision Rob Edwards is still weighing up
ROB Edwards hasn't yet made a definitive decision on the formation his Middlesbrough side will play this coming season. Edwards' Luton Town side played with wing-backs, so the natural assumption when he was unveiled as Boro's head coach was that he'd adopt a similar approach at the Riverside. Indeed, Edwards' Boro side lined up with a back three and wing-backs at Mansfield Town on Saturday in what was their first domestic friendly of the summer. And it worked well. Boro raced into a three-goal first half lead at Field Mill, and impressed, before the League One side fought back in the second period after Edwards had made a raft of changes, which led to a shift to a back four. With Boro still chasing a transfer breakthrough this summer, Edwards felt a back three and wing-backs best suited the options he had at his disposal on Saturday and the starting XI that he selected. And for now it's something he will continue to assess game by game as Boro run through their series of pre-season friendlies in the next fortnight. Rather than be glued to one specific system, Edwards will remain open minded and judge what formation and approach best suits the squad and players he has available. RECOMMENDED READING: Rob Edwards outlines Hayden Hackney transfer position amid Middlesbrough uncertainty Callum Brittain Middlesbrough transfer latest as Ismael sets out Blackburn stance Rob Edwards 'needs to stress' Middlesbrough transfer point as signings 'close' 'We're still looking at it at the moment, looking at what might fit the group," said Edwards, who revealed on Saturday that a couple of signings are "close". "I think it fitted the XI that we put out there in the first half. Obviously we then changed to a back four later on when we made some changes. "I'm still fairly open. Depending on what we're able to get in recruitment wise, it might be that we are able to flip between a few things. "My main focus will be on principles and the way we go about things. I want us to be aggressive and I want us to press high. I want us to have control, and have that control as far away from our goal as possible. Try and attack quickly. "Whether that's with a three, a two or a four, it doesn't matter too much. "We'll probably make slight tweaks tactically within every game anywhere because every opposition offers you something different to have to work out. I wouldn't read too much into using a back three today. I just felt it suited the group that we had out there at the start." Edwards liked a lot of what he saw in the first half on Saturday, and is pleased with how the players have taken the coaching team's messages on board, but there's plenty he still wants to work on in the remaining friendlies and on the Rockliffe training pitches. 'I'd still like loads more," he said. "We're two and a half weeks in, so it's not going to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But we're seeing a desire to win the ball back quickly. "I think there were a lot of instances of that [at Mansfield], particularly in the first half. I saw some really good pressing which forced them to go long and meant we were able to take control. "I saw some really good pressing and some really good regains as soon as we lost it. I want us to be a little bit quicker in some of our attacking and a little bit more dynamic in our forward runs in that final third. "But that will come in time. I'm pleased with the progress, but we still want lots more."
