7. Get a massage – a good massage on the Wednesday or Thursday prior to the race can relax you and loosen you up. Plus it just feels good.

8. Try to relax – Put pre-race anxiety aside by focusing on all of the preparations that you've made to get ready for your race.

sakto. may tentative sched ako bukas sa shizuka. ang kaso, baka no massage ang mangyari. best way to relax is to "release" the tension! hahaha.

going to ESpas 2-3 days before my run helps me relax and focus/concentrate. hirap tumakbo pag tgastt

kitakits on race day

I just registered for 21k (my first attempt at this category) this coming RU3

kitakits repapips!

pag may makita kau pinupulikat sa gilid ng kalye, malamang ako na yun!

Just a question for runners.... where do you usually practice running?

Me... I practice at a nearby cemetery.... 1.1km per lap but if I wanted to for track I go to Marikina Sports Complex

But I really like to practice at BGC.... there are a lot of nice and beautiful things to see (but need to a cab or a car for me to go there)

kung sa sementeryo putek bibilis talaga takbo ko jan.. hahaha...

mukhang from BGC drecho ka na sa p.burgos/NPS for some bfast promo ah (natry mo na ba dun bro?)

kitakits on RU3 Turk and Spirit220

anyone else running on that event?

Nope... hindi ako mabilis... 21km = 3hours for me... =)

hey bro.. you're from the orange board as well right? takbo habang may lupa!

nice to see you here as well

hanep yung nakalineup na events mo

@turk -- yeah you know the girl im talking about haha still convincing her though. nde ko pa sya nakausap uli eh

@dungeonbaby -- nice to know your issue w/ sleep deprived running is now resolved

pero just to answer your question (sorry late ko na nabasa)..

and you can keep that up for weeks at a time and run okay?

no bro. nagagawa ko lang sya pag may running event, pero that's usually weeks apart (usually 2-3weeks)

in between events, nde naman ako tumatakbo ng puyat. i keep myself fit by playing bball on sunday evenings

Ppdd... will you try Mens Health Urbanathlon

 

Run with obstacles.... Pickle Minded to join but its interesting

 

http://www.pinoyfitn...ctober-14-2012/

 

click click... text me or just post here kung tatakbo ka...

and san spa ka na nagpupunta?

wow this is interesting.. parang army training course haha

malapit pa sa ofc yung registration (360 ortigas)

pagdating sa spa, ah eh.. went to K4 yesterday and got Camille.. FR to follow..

I'll be running sa RU3 pero malamang 5k lang (planning to run with 2 girls: (1) the girl who got me into running and (2) ms.bday girl this sept.. what can i say, girls = my kryptonite)

been having some trouble sleeping and it's starting to affect the quality of my runs. my chest actually hurt this morning.

 

so instead of my usual soundtrack, i ran to classical music this morning...schubert's ave maria, to be exact...perfect for death throes.

 

can you guys run on 4 hours of sleep?

to answer your question: YES (usually less than 4yrs of sleep, or no sleep at all)

when i started running, i was on 2-11pm saturday workshift... usually nde na ako natutulog after my shift, diretso na sa takbo ng sunday umaga (swerte na kung makaidlip/power nap ako ng 30mins)

stay lang ako sa office, nagrerelax lang (either movie marathon or sound tripping) .. then stretching/warm up by around 3am

although nde sya advisable talaga (running w/out a decent sleep).. kaya wag nyo ko tularan

mag re-open ba registration for Rexona Run?

(late) FR on Kellogg's Special K: Run for a Healthy Filipina

Category: 16k

Weather: Raining with light shower

Venue: Venice Piazza, McKinley Hills

Time: 2hrs 2mins+

Pros: route was very challenging. Plenty of uphills and downhills. Hydration stations were strategically placed along the route. The marshalls and volunteers were very helpful (lalo na sa pag cheer!). Nice lootbags and freebies, nice weather (even though it was raining)... and Aubrey Miles!

Cons: Too much cars near the runners or along the route. i guess more volunteers next time is good

Mental Note: Next time, no spa session with a regular thera 5hrs before the actual run!!! (or a day before ng run) Tsk tsk.. dapat talaga 2-3days before ng run eh, wag the day before, much more yung oras lang pagitan.. pero ok lang.. sulit pa din naman. solid experience! (both dun sa session and yung sa run hahaha)

dahil nabanggit ni bro Yrrah123456789 ang Milo Marathon.. here's an inspiring story: "Mang Felix"

thanks for sharing guys (and girl - Ms.Dungeonbaby )

Kellogg's Special K run resched on Aug5.. kitakits

eto isa pa.. what socks do you wear during your runs? thick, padded socks? or thin ones?

personally, i use the five fingers socks of Darlington ("ang medyas na walang himulmol sa sakong" hehe)

300 for 2pairs sa suking department stores

manipis lang sya. i once ran using double of these socks pero it was a bit uncomfortable. so i went back to wearing only 1

nothing special except for the individual cover for each digits on your foot (at syempre walang himulmol sa sakong)

i chose this kasi dati may issues ako when i run (when i was a kid): nagpapaltos yung daliri ko sa paa because of rubbing with each other (ouch)

luckily, it only happened once last year when i started running and joining events

this is the one i also use for bball games nowadays...

mukhang postponed mga running events due to the rains/floods

hayyy...

closest thing i had was a slight drizzle/shower before nung sa NBA Fit Run and during my sunday runs

pero havent really experienced running soaked during a heavy downpour

i think last year's Milo marathon participants ran during the rain.. anyone tried running in the rain? can anyone share their experience? what to expect? TIA

meet Michelle Jenneke

Wow tagal ko nde nakapag post dito hehe

musta everyone?

Next run ko is this sun (july22)

any suggestions for upcoming runs this April? naubusan ako ng slot sa Earth Run..

Ran for the BDO Run for Life 2012 yesterday

time (unofficial): 1hr 12mins 40secs+

Feedback:

-start time was moved. maaraw na nung matapos yung race.

-hydration stations naubusan ng pocari. grrrr!!! sana na-anticipate na nila.

-parang ang konti ng marshalls. and nde sila nagchi-cheer sa mga runners

-haba ng pila for pocari (after the run). i know they only want to make it orderly pero the line was loooong. sana ginawa man lang sana 2 lines

-shirt was great! kaso parang suman fit sakin haha

afterwards, i was able to meet up with bro Turk and his lovely wife (nice to meet you bro!)

i hope the other members will join the runs so we could meet u as well

so anu next run? Earth Run? (mahal kasi natgeo haha)

Who among us run regularly on weekends as a group of MTC members?

not sure if there is actually a solid group, pero mostly kanya-kanyang takbo eh (except nalang siguro during running events)

I just ran 21km race for RU1

21 km = 2 hrs and 7mins and 3 secs

wow nice time bro. sana maka 21k na din ako this year..

may issue daw sa RU1 ah. nagkanakawan ata ng mga finisher's shirt and medals.. even coach rio apologized sa fb about what happened.. tsk tsk
