floppydrive Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 i am from nueva ecija...will be coming to manila on a friday....will visit the place maybe saturday....i know MOA but i do not know DFA building.... From Edsa heading towards MOA, turn left on Macapagal Blvd. going south. After the gas station, there is a bridge, then a stop light. You'll see McDo on the right and the DFA bldg. on the left. Turn right right after McDo. Quote Link to comment

Confusedcius Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 gusto ko sanang sumama sa mga fun runs. currently i run by myself, mga 10k 2 x to 3x a week. Mahiyain kasi ako eh. But it is getting to the point na boring na magjogging mag-isa. Paano ba sumali sa mga fun runs,. Hindi ba diyahe pag mag isa ka lang magjoin. Quote Link to comment

But it is getting to the point na boring na magjogging mag-isa. Paano ba sumali sa mga fun runs,. Hindi ba diyahe pag mag isa ka lang magjoin.masaya pag madami , pero ok lang din naman maski solo.. i usually run solo sa mga events (kaya naghahatak ako ng iba minsan hehe)madali lang naman sumali. all you need to do is pick a run you want to join. you can check pinoyfitness.com or takbo.ph for the calendar of eventsthen check mo yung details: how much, san pede mag register, race routes, etctapos yun na. punta ka lang sa registration centers, fill up the forms, pay the fee and get your singlet/bib number show up on race day and enjoy the run! minsan kasi ok din mag isa tumakbo. sakin mas nakaka-focus ako pag solo run, lalo na if i'm aiming to break my PR http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B_YAF_GTgfY/Ua6S4mGt1mI/AAAAAAAABuE/T7zvC0GktVY/s1600/6.5+post+7.jpeg Edited January 11, 2014 by ppdd Quote Link to comment

Confusedcius Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I run 3x a week. Easy run inside u.p. campus. followed by an interval uphill and downhill sa likod nang maynilad. tapos takbo naman sa threadmill para masanay sa regular pace. Quote Link to comment
ppdd Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 @spirit220 -- yown! takbo ba tlaga ginagawa mo? habulan gahasa ata yan bro eh hehe so far wala pa ako seryosong run. although i play bball weeklylast time i tried to run from our house to marikina, hapong hapo na agad ako. cant seem to get my second wind Quote Link to comment
Confusedcius Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 my biggest concern right now is my knees. It takes too long to warm it up. Kung hindi ko po ilakad ito nang 20 minutes before running eh masakit po siya at mabagal ako for the first 3k. Routine ko po ay lakad nang 10 minutes then stretch, lakad ulit nang 10 minutes at stretch ulit, tapos in the span of 5 minutes i get to my regular pace for the day. Me paraan po ba para babaan ang warm up time ko, to say 10 minutes? Am i doing something wrong? Sabi po nang kaibigan ko kelangan ko daw po mag weight training with my legs, especially the quads daw, kasi hindi proportion yung muscle development ko kaya hindi umaalign ang tuhod ko. Sabi naman nung isa eh dagdagan ko menu ko nang takbo sa dagat once a week. Sabi nung isa eh itakbo ko daw kaagad nang mabilis after 10 minutes of warm up para mawala ung sakit. Sabi naman nung isa eh tiyagaain ko na ung 20 minutes na warm up. any thoughts po? Nakaka walang gana kasi pag inaanticipate mo yung first 3 kilometers eh. Quote Link to comment
dungeonbaby Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 @Confusedcius: i think you're really better off having your knees looked at because it could be a host of different things. i was having problems with one knee, couldn't step up onto the sidewalk running outside. pinatingin ko and because my knee wasn't aligned right, i was given a regimen of weight training and exercises: controlled leg presses, leg extensions, and leg curls on a machine, running on a treadmill, etc. i've also had to lose weight to ease up on both knees. nakakawalang gana talaga ang may injury. kaya i wouldn't recommend increasing the intensity of your run before a proper warm-up, like someone suggested you do. whatever you do, take it easy, warm up properly. i used to dread climbing or descending stairs. but now my knees feel good as new.

Confusedcius Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 @Confusedcius: i think you're really better off having your knees looked at because it could be a host of different things. So 20 minutes of warm up is too long? meaning I might have an injury? Kasi po, as long as I have a minimum of 20 minutes warm up/walk, before my run, There is no pain on my knees, Aside from the pain of running itself hehehe. If I try to lower my warm up to 10 minutes, ayun, parusa ung first 3k. Quote Link to comment
ppdd Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 i was supposed to run early Tue morning para sana practice for the 21k on Sunday, kaso nayaya sa inuman ng Monday night.. wapak! @Confusedcius - i would have to agree with dungeonbaby.. you need to have it checked by a specialist just to be sure, specially if it hurts even when you are just walking daily (nde sa run) Quote Link to comment

Wala pa namang injury but its leading to it. Over strained daw ung lower leg area and under developed quads. I don't raise my legs enough and just use my lower leg. So i have to tweak my running form. Minimize din daw ang speed runs and substitute it with "martsang sundalo" to develop my quads. I'll also opt for quad exercise and add some pool lunges while i'm cross training sa pool. Oh, and bawal ko raw i-cut back ang warm up time ko of 20 minutes. Yun lang daw dahilan kung bakit hindi pa ako naiinjure. Acidic din daw ako so ease up on my coffee...pucha pati un pinuna! Salamat po kay dungeonbaby at ppdd Another question po. A friend of mine likes to drink 2 aspirins 30 minutes before his run. Para daw hindi masakit tumakbo. Is this really okay? If I am to believe his heart rate monitor watch records, he does jog fast!

If I try to lower my warm up to 10 minutes, ayun, parusa ung first 3k. i've had the same kinds of hurts. i would have to warm up on the elliptical machine for about 20 minutes before doing leg extensions, curls, and presses. if i had warmed up properly then the extensions would feel okay. if i didn't warm up enough, i wouldn't even be able to complete a single rep. the therapist said if i was going to do curls (which i liked), i would have to do at least as many extensions (which i hated). that's probably to address the kind of imbalance you were speaking of between your upper/lower legs. thankfully, 'di naman pinuna yung coffee addiction ko. haha. i do take a baby aspirin before a run sometimes. heck, girls are asked to take an aspirin before getting waxed to help with the pain. but, as with anything medical, ask a doctor first. on a side note, i've abandoned weight training and have shifted to yoga. helps my running so much more.

Confusedcius Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Another fun run newbie question po. 1. Do you run faster or slower in a fun run vs your practice pace? Let's assume you are properly conditioned, warmed up and ready to go. I imagine the crowd of people makes it hard to run in a straight line, and it will mess up your running pace. Plus probably increase your actual distance as opposed to the official distance. On the other hand, your competitive nature might make you push harder. Personally kasi pag me nakasabay ako na kasing pace ko or is a bit faster than me, I find myself jogging faster. As opposed to me running alone with a set distance and time frame in mind. 2. Me markers ka on where to turn? Baka po kasi sa exhaustion mo eh hindi mo na maalala ung race course Quote Link to comment

Me markers ka on where to turn? Baka po kasi sa exhaustion mo eh hindi mo na maalala ung race course 1. i tend to run faster than my practice pace, and, according to other runners, that seems to be a normal reaction to raceday conditions. the mass of people in the first few kilometers does tend to disrupt your "trajectory," and you have to get used to dodging people, like a game of patintero almost, but the crowd does thin out near the end where you can use other runners to mentally slingshot yourself to a faster finish. 2. yes, there are usually markers and race marshals on the race route, no matter how small the race is.
