2017 Mile-A-Day Guide
This year, my running goal is to complete at least 365 miles (587.41 km) of running. And since it’s so easy to lose track on mileage, I made this guide on how much I should be doing by date in terms of both miles and kilometers. If your goal is similar to mine, hope this…
Downtime “Training”
It’s inevitable that every once in a while we experience “downtime.” I’ve been using the pool practically every day lately to help improve my newly acquired swimming skills, and now my body is forcing me to rest. Anyhow, this downtime gives me a different opportunity to “train.”

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…
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…
Nike Run Clinic Session 21
Yes I’m still keeping count of the number of sessions, and we’re more than halfway through the entire Clinic program. If you’re wondering why my posts skip a session it’s because I usually am not able to join the Friday sessions of the clinic at BHS (traffic going to Fort Bonifacio on Friday nights are…
Nike Run Clinic Session 19

Nike Run Clinic Session 17
It’s another great run session at the Ultra continuing where we left off from last week. Warming up was a bit of a problem for some as the temperature was mild. It takes a bit more time before our muscles get really warm and we perspired less, but this made running more pleasant. Like past…
