How On Running signed Javier Gomez

Olivier Bernhard, On Running co-founder talks Javier Gomez and Cloudflash

At the recent London Marathon Expo we managed to grab some time with Olivier Bernhard, the co-founder of On Running (www.on-running.com).

A multisport legend in his own right, with eight wins at the Powerman Zofingen Duathlon in Switzerland, Olivier co-founded On Running in 2010, the brand that has become known for its ‘Run on clouds’ tagline, and its CloudTech outsole.

We spoke to Olivier about the long process by which Javier Gomez joined On as a sponsored athlete, and get a closer look at their new flagship Cloudflash shoe.

Jan Frodeno: “Sub-8 at Kona is possible”

The imposing surrounds of Tower Bridge, Central London played host last night to a highly impressive launch of a new shoe from ASICS, the Noosa FF™. ‘FF’ in this case refers to FlyteFoam™. In their words…

“Our FlyteFoam technology provides exceptional bounce back and responsiveness no matter the distance, utilizing organic super fibers to help reduce packing out that traditionally happens with softer, low density foams.”

Jan Frodeno talks…

Having flown in two-time and defending IRONMAN World Champion, Jan Frodeno, specially for the evening, we took the chance to grab some time with the undisputed king of men’s long-distance triathlon right now.

Jan talks about his mentally challenging Kona race of 2016, “nailing” Kona 2017, breaking records and why Super League Triathlon will produce “the ultimate sprinter”, rather than the ultimate athlete!
