intelligent ways to improve running
It's funny because during one of the topics in the chats we've had in takbo.ph's newly featured shoutbox was about Timmy's (intimmyd8) inspiration for running. Most of us thought he was talking about some pretty running girl (or girls) in takbo.ph. Turns out to be his Mizuno Wave Inspire running sho

The Condura Half-Marathon race gave me invaluable feedback information that I shall now use for my Full Marathon training. Lessons learned were good and bad news, and now I just need to update some of my training parameters. 1. My MaxHR should be 189bpm. Initially, the Jack Daniels table told me to

More Pictures. Although I was too busy taking pictures of other people, I'm still fortunate to have some takbo.ph people also take pictures of me. Thanks to Timmy, Chelly, Ruby, Neil, and Vener for the pics. i2runner also wants to be an i2photographer, but only has a camphone. No SLR, low tech styl

Right after our 21Km LSD with the takbo.ph runners, Doc Lyndon "malmonmd" raised a question, how do you taper 2 weeks before the 21K? Nobody gave a clear answer, and even I was silent. I always thought I was ready, and I already did an unofficial 1:57 during my long runs. How do I taper? To be hones

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir0z6z1i9mU] This was very scary (but fun). But after several speedy runs, I got overconfident and lost control. I got into a minor accident. I smashed its front right wheel on the skyway gutter but the engine was OK. I just did a spare tire change in skyway,

This morning after the 21Km LSD (more on this later with pictures) with the takbo.ph, I was able to chat with some of the runners, the famous runningdiva. During our chat she mentioned having knee pains and I told her I also had some knee pains especially during my mileage increases during the last
