intelligent ways to improve running
I just received an exciting information of from my favorite Cable TV Channel, National Geographic Channel, they will be organizing a road race on April 18, 2010 in SM Mall of Asia. The cause is to support solution designs against Global Climate Change in developing countries. Sounds quite promising

After I finished my Condura 21K last Sunday, I remembered how it feels more satisfying to race longer distances. So I've decided to start training for the marathon this week. With my current 21K time, the McMillan's calculator estimates my Marathon Time to be 3:42, if I train well. Not bad. When I w

We all know that just to finish a marathon (or even a half-marathon) is a big lifetime accomplishment. When you do finish a marathon, you know you're no longer an ordinary runner, and far from being called a "Jogger". But if then if you do finish one, what's next? Should your next step be running an

INTRO: For some reason, a small number of my colleagues from our company wanted to join the "Fit & Right" race last Sunday. My running friend and colleague Manding invited some of his office-mates to join the fun run, and we ended up registering 45 runners! Sounds a good number at first glance, but

In the past, I really never cared what I wore when I ran, normally just use an old beat-up shirt and rip-off the sleeves. Now that the running scene in Metro Manila is full of runners and races--in all shapes, sizes, and distances, I notice that it's the newbies that mostly wear the free singlets, w

I think a few weeks ago a lot of runners were very disappointed with this 21K local race being short by 3Kms. Now adidas KOTR 2009 seems to have addressed this issue in their 5K race by adding an extra mile (actually, just 0.87mile, I'm just exaggerating). This is probably what they call "exceed

Registering for and claiming the adidas KOTR race kits in the Megamall B Megatrade hall last week have been the worst experience I've ever had (at least in the world of running). Just asking for questions at the information booth induced one of the worst headaches. And among all the pains I've ever
