Running down a DREAM
WATER BOTTLE Hydration is key. period. To running. To life. To everything. With the superior squirtability of his signature turquoise water bottle, we don’t doubt Mujin excelled.
AFTER MONTHS OF PREPARATION AND GRUELING 20 MILE RUNS, SOPHOMORE MUJIN KWUN ACHIEVED HIS DREAM OF RUNNING A MARATHON LAST SUNDAY.
RUNNING SHOES Nike’s motto is ‘Just Do it.’ And rest assured, with these babies on, Mujin can indeed ‘do it.’
Rett Daugbjerg: How did you get into running, and when did you decide you wanted to run a marathon? DEODORANT The legendary fragrance of Dove’s Dove Men + Care cool fresh scent is irresistible. Its 48 hour sweat free guarantee leaves Mujin enough time for eight marathons.
Mujin Kwun: I started running because my dad runs a lot, and he’s going to run this marathon with me and he persuaded me to run with him. RD: How did you decide to run the marathon? MK: I just thought it’d be fun to run with him. I’d never run in one before because it was pretty hard. RD: What is your training regiment like? MK: I didn’t have very much time because of school, so I ran with the cross country team. But when cross country ended I started running with my dad. He has a training group he runs with to get ready for it.
NYLON SHIRT Nylon’s sweat wicking capablities are unprecedented. This key innovation in textile manufacturing has led to a near zero percent chafing rate.
RD: How far do you run, on average, a day? MK: Now that cross country has ended I haven’t been running as much, but on Tuesdays I run ten or 11 miles and on Saturdays we do long runs, which are anywhere between 18 to 20 miles. RD: How much have you improved since you started training?
