Q&A with Felix Burke
We met with mountain bike champion Felix Burke this week. Since he’s been an official Tremblant Athlete Ambassador for only one year, and also an emerging athlete, we wanted to get to know him better. Felix was just coming out of a workout, still dressed in his bike suit and wearing his clip shoes. The athlete sat down with us and we had a nice chat about his introduction into this sport, his…

A brief study on running shoes
Although it is possible to wear the same shoes for every sport, why hinder yourself? With advances in modern technologies, athletic footwear design has progressed exponentially.
