It was a very tiring and grueling weekend for me as I faced my first ultramarathon—56.6K. The run started at Km 0 marker across Rizal Monument and ended at the Tagaytay Junction, a little over the Km 56 marker. It was also my first midnight run. I together with my running buddy Sean William started…

Weekend at the Trails of Montalban
It was an interesting weekend for me together with the guys of takbo.ph for our first trail adventure. Rene (JazzRunner) was kind enough to give us a tour of the trails of Montalban and experience firsthand the magnificent sights and breath-taking trails of this wonderful place. This event was also made possible with the help…
Night Run: Ortigas to BHS
It was another rainy run for me last night. Like with my previous night run I had only a few hours to spare so I wasn’t able to be much more creative with my run last night. At first I was a bit worried that the downpour might be too strong to run into but…
Night Run: Ortigas – McKinley Hill – BHS via C5
Summer in Metro Manila is anything but pleasing for running—it’s hot and humid. Not only do you need to worry about your run you also have to think of protecting yourself from the sun so here comes running extra early, putting on sunblocks, wearing protective clothing like visors or caps, sunglasses, etc. I personally don’t…
Easter LSD: Commonwealth to MoA via Quezon Ave. – Roxas Blvd.
For my Easter LSD I decided to take another one of my dream route—Commonwealth Ave. to the Mall of Asia via Quezon Ave., España Blvd., and Roxas Blvd.—from the top of the Metro to seaside. I’ve planned to take this route for some time now originally just ending in Rizal Park (KM 0) but for…
LSD: Commonwealth to BHS via Katipunan – C5
My first LSD on a weekday and on a double holiday (Maundy Thursday and Araw ng Kagitingan), this route is basically an alternate way for me from home to work, and also towards the place where I fell in love with running—Bonifacio Global City. This is my first time to run this route so it…
Weekend LSD: Commonwealth Run
It has been a while since my last LSD and this time around I got to run one of my most anticipated locations: Commonwealth Ave. It was a long overdue run that was held back because of a lot of events and this time I got to finally execute the plan into action. That LSD…
LSD with Takbo.ph
Last Sunday being my last weekend here in the Philippines (for February at least) I decided to do an LSD one last time, before finally heading off to Ohio, USA. I’m uncertain if I can do my regular weekend runs there being winter and all so just to play safe in increasing my mileage I…
My First 21K: Carbon-loading from MRT to MoA
Today I finally did two things that I really wanted to do: Run along EDSA and do my first half-marathon—all this first day of February. Inspired by Team Bald Runner’s runabout in EDSA (Pasay City to Monumento) and motivated by GF405 I finally amassed some guts to finally do it, even if I had to…
Nike Run Clinic LSD
Earlier today Nike Run Clinic held its first LSD at UP Diliman. This was the first opportunity we had the chance to do so since there are no races this weekend, and what’s good with this special session of the Run Clinic was that it was open to everyone, and even included free Rush Fitness…
