Running

[wyette]

Hello! Hello! Hello!

 

How are you all runners?

 

As for me, have not been running much the last 2 months. Panay short uphils lang. Magpawis lang. I have been busy organizing a run here at our place so panay routecheck lang.

 

I forced myself to register to a tun for my bday sa june kaya i started to be back on track again. Who is running the world vision run on the 22nd? Or panay pang world class na lang ba kayo?

 

Tapos mag milo run din kami ng RuNurses group namin on the 27th of july. Sana makaabot ng cutoff strongly. Hahaha

 

Good luck to those running this weekend, specially the Mayon360 ultrarunners! Sali ka ba dito @wyette?

 

Hi sir.

No eh, i was out of the country then. Sayang nga r. That was one on my bucket list unticked.

 

I miss doing an ultra. Kaso wala akong ,apiling iregister. Haha i actually miss the smiles of co runners doing an uktra. Ibang iba when you do runs on shorter distances. Parang deadmahan lang, hehehe

 

 

So eyeball uli?

mga idols nag sign na ako sa ru2 32k good luck to me hahaha

Good luck sir. Carboloading na po ba?

 

let the training begin...!!!

This one is nice too. Kaso di ko pa kaya ang sub 2 for a half mary. Mapuputulan ako ng paa nun.

 

Yehey! Sana nga matuloy ito sa Pebrero. Iba pa rin tumakbo ng walang init ng araw. Paging @wyette....

 

Hoping i still am here sa pinas. If i am, i will register uli.

 

Im sure you will too po, di ba? Hehe

[ppdd]

oo nga parang nagkatamaran bigla.. dami runs pero parang yung pahirapan na registration eh

 

goodluck to everyone na tatakbo on Sunday!

Hi Wyette! Signed up no po! Hindi na kailangan ng Milo packs kung online registration.

 

 

 

 

RE RU2

 

Nice run! The straight and back route was nice. No need to think anymore, and it was easy to judge distance. The kilometer markers were good enough, but everyone was wondering why the 21km route markers were more than 100m away from the 10km and 32km route markers considering that the finish line is the same for all routes.

 

There was plenty of water and Gatorade available. Bananas and sponges were also available in certain stations.

 

The only drawback is the narrow 1.5 width lane at the Cavitex section from Uniwide to the Alabang bridge. It was very difficult to run specially when the 32km runners merged with the 21km runners. I was slow, so by the time I reached the merge point, most of the 21k participants were walking instead of running.

 

Weather was hot and humid even at 3am. It became tougher by 6:00am when the sun was already out. Runners were taking cover where there was shade from the tall buildings. Everyone was trying to beat the 7:30am cut-off as the organizer announced that they will sweep the runners off the streets by 7:30am. I guess they only started sweeping at7:30am from the Cavitex section so it could be opened by 8:00am. Runners were still being given medals at the finish line at 8am.

 

Overall, it was a great run, specially for those who plan to do the Milo Manila Eliminations leg 42km event.

 

 

 

[nigi nigi nu noos]

Mga bossing, meron na bang schedule yung Unilab full marathon this year?

[floppydrive]

I finished 21k with the time of 2:35 in RU2 kaya lang napansin after ngrun then relax na sa bahay, i always having a headache kahit noon pa ng start ako ng long run like 16k...ano kaya possible reason nun ? anyone have experience like this? or dehydrated lang ako..

 

It's possible that you were dehydrated.

[wyette]

Sir floppy, bigla ako nainggit with your RU2 review.

 

Oh well.

 

Will try to register online na with the milo run para wala nang atrasan.

 

My next run will be at the world vision run on the 22nd. BGC uli.

FR on RU2

 

Venue: Luneta -- medyo olats kasi ang hirap bumyahe papunta. then pahirapan din nung pauwi. argh

Route: Roxas Blvd / Cavitex -- panalo. long straight way lang. very minimal yung likuan.

Weather: Fine / Sunny -- kahit 3am mainit. walang hangin. nung 7am na grabe kulang nalang maligo ako sa kalye sa sobrang init.

 

sobrang busy sa work i didnt have enough time to practice, kaya nagulat ako nung sinabi sa venue na may cut-off time (4hrs 30mins)

kala ko it was the first time na ma-sweep ako

buti nalang they still let the runners run and complete the course despite the long time (whew)

sufficient naman yung hydration stations and portalets along the way (kahit nung patapos na, may mga maiinom pa din na gatorade and water dun sa hydration stations. good job)

 

overall, it was still a nice, well organized event

 

Next run: Takbo.ph's RunFest on July

[nigi nigi nu noos]

Any tips sa magandang running shoes for long distance running, say, full marathon? Mizuno Wave Precision gamit ko ngayon, pero nag-iisip akong mag-try ng Asics. Any tips, feedbacks or anything that will help me decide which shoe brand to buy.

Mizuno Wave Precision is a stability shoe. Try checking first the stability shoes offered by the other brands. Asics has a soft feel through all their models and is lighter than Mizuno. For Asics, try Kayano, Cumulus, DT Racer, DS Trainer, or others that the store would recommend for stability. Also even if you're not buying yet, go to a reputable store which has a treadmill that can check your stride and you can test run the shoe before you buy. The best store for this (at least in my opinion) is Second Wind. They have a wide array of brands and models to choose from, and the staff is very helpful and patient. You can also go to RUNNR or Riovana.

 

Hope this helps.

Congrats ppdd! Bilib nga ako sa dami ng supply ng tubig at Gatorade. Yung cut-off time para lang yata sa Cavitex section. Hangang 8:30am may mga tumatakbo ba sa Roxas blvd.

Kaso sa www.takbo.ph madami silang pinopost na unconfirmed fun runs.

[Confusedcius]

 

My next run will be at the world vision run on the 22nd. BGC uli.

 

I am not sure If I will enter this run, baka scheudling conflict. Last minute ako mag register if ever, preferably 21k distance. I'll use this as my baseline to determine my current 21k time. If ever kitakits po.

 

congrats sa mga successful RU2 runners. I was looking at the pics and discussion thread at naawa ako dun sa babaeng na cyber bully dahil me dalang isang piling nang saging. Paki ba nila!

Ooopss.. Isa ako sa nag comment at nag share nung photo na yun.

 

I admit natawa ko sa kanya. At the same time naawa ako. Her companions if she had any should have oriented her about runs like the RU2 if it was her first time.

Naawa ako kasi ang sakit sa kamay hanggang braso nung isang piling na saging ha. Pati leeg nya malamang nanakit sa dami nakasabit. And she was running a 10k distance, not merely the 3k or 5k fun runs.

 

Sana lang maynag clarify nung photo na yun. Di ko na nasugaybayan e. It was taken down the other day.
