Yet Another 56K Ultra Weekend: Manila To Tagaytay Sequel
It was a race-less weekend last Sunday so what else does a runner do but to find an interesting run. An ultramarathon distance route isn’t exactly a prerequisite but in order to share that ultramarathon experience I decided to join my friends at their first attempt at an ultra—where else but in the same route…
Yet Another Round of Road Trip: Ortigas – BHS via EDSA
Last night was supposedly my speed run session at Ultra, but the urge to meet my running buddies got the best of me and just decided to do an easy run. I was also a bit concerned with my calves aching a little (most likely due to the cramps I got from swimming last Sunday)…
Ruined by the Rain, Saved by the Rain: My Wet Weekend
As mentioned in me previous post I was very bored and agitated last Sunday because I wasn’t able to do my early morning long run due to the rain. It was raining at 4:30AM and until 5:30AM there was no sign of it stopping so I had to cancel it. It would be very difficult…

What is an Electronic Timing Chip?
Disposable electronic timing chips finally made its Philippine running debut during the Globe-Ayala Land Run for Home event by Finishline. Although it ended up being a fancy accessory, a timing chip utilized properly does have huge advantages over manual time capturing processes. For the said event the organizers picked the “chips” from ChampionChip, a Netherlands-based…
Race Review: Run for Home
Run for Home can be proud to be one of the country’s largest race in terms of attendance with more than 6,000 runners and raising more than a million pesos for charity, according to the race organizers. This was aside from the fact that this race introduced disposable electronic timing chips in the Philippine running…

When Runners Don’t Run: XT
Cross-training (XT) is an activity runners engage in when they’re not running, or to put it in simpler terms, XT is simply doing something else, training-wise. XT allows you to maintain a certain level of activity while your muscles are recovering so that the rest of your body has a time to catch up making…
