Duma Runners Club

About Us & Our Sponors

Our philosophy is hard work, discipline, and dedication. We believe all of these things are needed to succeed in running. We will work hard and dedicate our time and resources to help you attain qualifying times and become the best that you can be. In return we expect you to work hard by showing, through your running, that you deserve a chance to compete in major races.

The Duma Club Staff will be honest and trustworthy. We expect nothing but perfection from our runners. We believe in our Club Members abilities and we expect them to live up to those expectations.

We will seek advice from former World Record Holders in areas that we may not be as knowledgeable; so that every runner has the same chances to succeed.

 

   

 From Spira: About WaveSpring Technology

We are convinced that the WaveSpring™ technology has the potential to revolutionize the footwear industry, and in the process, forever change the purpose and function of footwear. Unlike traditional coil or conical springs, the WaveSpring is laterally stable, compact and lightweight.
 
As a result, we have developed a remarkable energy return technology for footwear. According to a biomechanical study conducted by the Shoe Lab at Michigan State University in 2001, our springs return an astounding 87-96% of energy otherwise lost to the ground. The highest energy return score of any shoe every tested. Accordingly, our shoes allow people to participate in physical activity for longer periods of time with far less stress on the body.

Recovery time following vigorous activity is greatly reduced. What's more, because our midsole system is mechanical, it never breaks down. As Popular Mechanics concluded in a recent footwear technology review, "Unlike rubber and polymers, the springs have an almost infinite fatigue life. The shoe will fall apart before the spring performance degrades." Perhaps most exciting is the fact that we can
put the technology in almost any type of footwear.
