This was one of the announcements made by Coach Rio during the last Nike Run Clinic session: an LSD at UP Diliman Campus on Sunday, January 11, 2009. Here’s the excerpt from the Nike Running website: Kick Start your 2009 Resolutions Published: January 4, 2009 It’s that time of year again, a new year with…
After the very long holidays it’s the best time start burning those unwanted calories or simply to get back into shape. Tonight’s session was the first this year and after the recovery sessions last December (the last ones I attended) it’s time to get back to business. This time it’s about actually starting to realize…
The first trail running event of the year is almost here, and since it’s not like most urban races here are some pointers about this race that may help first time trail runners like myself: Footwear: wear the right shoes for the right occasion. Trail running shoes are different from your normal running shoes so…
Happy New Year! 2009 is here! It’s a great time to plan your races since the first ones don’t come until the start of the third week of January. I’m quite excited for this year, particularly this first quarter because of two special races: The North Face Thrill of the Trail (January 18, 2009)This would…
This was one of the topics in Takbo.ph forums and is quite timely since the New Year is just around the corner. I didn’t want to rush answering this question, and upon pondering about if for a few minutes (I didn’t hurry but I sure came up with something quick hehe) here’s what I got…
Surely 2008 was a memorable year for many of us. It was the year me and many of my friends started running, and it definitely changed our lives. August 08, 2008 (08/08/08): it was the night of the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, and it was the day of my first race…
It’s a very long weekend here in the Philippines, December 25, 2008 to January 02, 2009 being a series of legal and special holidays—that’s eight days of no work to think about! There are no more races left the year and the yuletide mood seems to direct us to parties and eating, so what activities…
2008 was a pretty short year for me running-wise since I started on the third quarter already, but despite the relative short span I do have my favorites for the year: Best 5K Race: Nokia Recycle your Phone and Run First it was free, it had a very good cause, very well organized, and had…
Christmas is just around the corner, the season of gift-giving and sharing; and of course receiving gifts especially unexpected ones are really pleasing. Who wouldn’t want to receive gifts this season? If you were to ask me what I want for Christmas here’s my wish list: Garmin Forerunner® 405 Number one in my wish list,…
Something to look forward to running next year: the Condura run on March 22, 2009. RunningShield has announced plans for this race and the 21K route will pass through the South Luzon Skyway. This may be our only chance to run on the Skyway and it definitely makes the route very interesting and exciting. From…
Each race is unique and memorable and capturing those moments are made easier by PhotoVendo, the brainchild of Ben M. Chan (photographer on the run). You can’t always bring someone along to take your photos and not everyone has an SLR camera, and it’s definitely difficult to bring a camera along in-race and take photos…
You thought I’d lost count didn’t you? Well I actually did, I just had to count the sessions since my last appearance. I missed the clinic so much that even if I’m anything but good I just had to attend it—and I’m glad I did. After two weeks of being AWOL I’m finally back to…
