Nike Invites You to Find Your Fast

For many of us, running is a way to find our zen. It can be meditative, a way to clear the mind, and hey, it also doubles as a way to keep our bodies in shape. Marathons seem to be all the rage. And when you run, you want to get faster. That’s why Nike developed the Find Your Fast Challenge.

All you need to do is join the  Nike+ Training Club, where the challenge starts on July 7th with the first Master Trainer workout led by Marie Purvis. A new workout by a different Nike Master Trainer will be unveiled every two weeks, focusing on way to make you feel faster, like high-intensity training, yoga, strength training and barre.

Need even more motivation? Nike teamed up with Neal Brennan, the co-creator of the Chapelle Show to create the Find Your Fast campaign, which stars some of the world’s fastest humans, like Michael Johnson; the world’s fastest woman, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce; the world’s fastest commercial starring Kobe Bryant and world famous magician David Blaine; the infamously fast Road Runner cartoon and a nod to one of Nike’s speediest running shoes, the Nike Air Zoom Elite 8.

“Fast can be about beating the defender to a spot, or not letting the offensive player get to his spot,” explains Bryant about the importance of fast on the basketball court.

So grab a pair of the Nike Zoom Air Elite sneakers, watch the video, download the app and use Nike to help you Find Your Fast.

It's been less than a year since Terence "Bud" Crawford announced his stunning retirement from boxing, which came shortly after he delivered a masterclass performance against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in a mega bout that cemented his place in boxing lore. In the seven months since hanging up the gloves, Crawford now knows what it's like to continue sustaining a lifestyle that includes supporting seven children, on top of continuing to pay the bills, like a mortgage and the boxing gym he owns in Omaha, Nebraska, or continuing with his real estate investment opportunities while no longer being able to count on a major payday as the former No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer.

It's estimated that Crawford earned anywhere from $90 million to $100 million during his illustrious career. Those in the know say Crawford is financially disciplined, which is what makes him the perfect, and perhaps only, candidate to speak out on Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s alleged money problems.
