Today is the first day of claiming Nike We Run Manila race kits, and I’d say I’m impressed that the runners didn’t wait for the last day before claiming their kits as attested by the big turnout even before the collection opened. Here are some scenes from the first day:

Ten Running Essentials 2010 Edition
My first post about the ten running essentials served as my shopping guide when I was just starting with the sport. Back then I had no experience to rely on so I was dependent on guides like these. Now, more than a year hence I can say I’ve gained some knowledge to finally update the…
RP’s Shoe Designs
Remember my ancient post on mi adidas? For the longest time I can only imagine myself designing a shoe of my own and by chance I happen to drop by mi adidas’ site. To my pleasant surprise I found that the site now allows us to customize a variety of shoe designs as base for…
Ask RP: Buying Shoes
I’ve been receiving quite a handful of enquiries lately from various fronts about all sorts of topics, and so for the convenience and benefit of all stakeholders I decided to post my replies here. While I don’t claim to be “all-knowing” and didn’t intended this it’s probably inevitable with any runners with presence online. Without…
2-Day Coverage of Subic International Marathon
Subic International Marathon was a unique event that it spans two days and was two races in one—aside from the main SIM events the Nike Human Race were also simultaneously held. Day 01: Marathon and Nike Human Race SIM distinct itself from other events by featuring a sundown race for its main event and Nike…
A Year Into Running: The Pre-Garmin Era
From a humble 5K start it’s inevitable that you’d seek “higher grounds.” After disappointment of not being able to join a race because of a gadget requirement I was inspired when I saw the next race headed our way: the adidas King of the Road (KOTR). Just imagining myself running atop Kalayaan flyover makes me…
A Year Into Running: It Started With A Miracle
Sunday, August 17, 2008 marked the birth of the runner in me. It was the first ever Miracle Run by Men’s Health Magazine (Philippines) and it was my first ever race. I, together with several of my colleagues, decided to join this run for the benefit of GMA Kapuso Foundation so that in our own…
When Registration is No Longer a Habit
Greenfield was one of the races I didn’t expect to join primarily because of its distance from home, but because of the free shuttle service I no longer have any excuse why I’d miss this race, and I don’t want to. Running in an area I haven’t been is pretty exciting and the shuttle ride…
Last Night at the Nike Run Clinic
Believe it or not, the Nike Run Clinic is still ongoing and is extended indefinitely. By this time the first batch should’ve finished but by popular demand the clinic is here to stay, so if you just got the running fever and want to join a clinic you may still do so by going to…
Practice What You Preach
It’s quite funny actually, I’m giving advice to other people to taper-off for the Condura Run but last night I’m the first one to break my advice. As I was writing my previous blog yesterday night I was having a dilemma if I was to continue running or not. Although it seemed like I was…
Nike Run Clinic Session 25
Last night was another “Just do it” session, being somewhat similar to the previous session at Ultra. We thought that it was an “unloading” or recovery session based on what was listed on the Nike Run Clinic site. We started with some new routines so we thought that it was the course of the session…
Nike Run Clinic Session 23
“If you think running is difficult, stop thinking.” I could probably describe last night’s session with this quote. Just thinking about doing 5x800M with a pace of 3:45/800M ±15 seconds was tiring enough, so I just said to myself, “Just do it!” (Now I think I understand where Nike got this slogan.) Together with some…
