ahhhh kaw pala yun! (kala mo nakita ko na eh noh hahaha)

i used to jog from lower antipolo going to marcos hway, then katipunan (ateneo-miriam) nung preparation sa RUPM

then take a few minutes rest sa gasoline station, before going back

 

what time ka ba usually tumatakbo bro? ako kasi around 3-4am nagstart.. so anjan ako sa katipunan area around 5-6am

 

weekdays eh 5:00 pm ako magstart at mga 6:30 to 7:00 matapos.

 

weekends mga 6:00 am to 8:30 a.m.

 

pero hindi na ako umaabot sa ateneo area, andami masyadong tao. I prefer to run inside u.p. or sa likod nang maynilad or sa capitol hills. ikot na lang ako nang ikot.

I am no longer running in The No Speed Limit. Nung niyaya ko ung aspirin chugging buddy ko eh sinabi niya na magdala daw ako nang earbuds at 3m mask. He joined last year, and the traffic that it caused resulted in angry stares and the occasional curses from angry commuters. Since traffic eh ung polution daw eh katakot takot.

wow sayang naman bro.. pero yeah pollution and traffic are number 1 and 2 pag tumatakbo sa city.. expected na sya eh

Grabe 7-11 Run1000!

 

I guess they didn't expect to have so many participants. 3:15am, wala na parking. Pina-ikot-ikot na kung saan-saan hangang pumayag na street parking pwede na.

 

The route was flat and straight, but it was also narrow. From km3 to 8, it was only 1 lane plus shoulder wide. Ok lang nung first 13k ng 21k event, kasi lahat steady pace. Pagdating sa Km13, kasabay na 16k runners. Ok pa pero masikip na daan. Pagdating sa Km16 (last 5km), patay na at kasabay na super daming 10k WALKERS! Naging obstacle course tuloy. Ang sikip tuloy sa last 400m papuntang finishline. Yung finishline din barado!

 

Nabawi naman kasi maraming palamig na freebies sa post race event area. May pocari sweat, Gatorade, PowerAde, Tang, Selecta Ice Cream at SAN MIGUEL BEER!!!! Woohooo! Nahiya na lang ako kumuha ng pangatlong cup ng beer. hehehe

7-Eleven 1000 Run

21k in (unofficial) 3hrs 10mins

 

certainly not my best run.. medyo matagal ata nabakante sa takbo kaya ayan, out of shape ahaha

by the 8km mark, pinupulikat na ako :(

by the 9km mark, wala na talaga.. kahit simpleng lakad eh tumataas yung maskels ko sa binti

so i had to walk and do stretching along the way (and apply a lot of omega)

luckily, by the 13km mark, ayun pde na uli ako tumakbo/jog

ang medyo sablay lang is after ng 13km mark eh kokonti nalang yung hydration stations, wala din saging

nung last 2km na ata ako nakainom ng Pocari, by then eh pinupulikat na uli ako kasi nag-merge na halos lahat ng runners for all categories waahahaha

wala din saging, or hydration or even yung medal upon crossing the finishline :(

finisher shirt one size and same design sa lahat ng participants

mahaba pila sa claiming ng lootbag at baggage (nag aasin na yung balat ko by the time na makuha ko yung lootbag)

nde pa ako nakakuha ng EZ lubricants at Premiere condoms sa event.. malas tlaga

 

the only thing na ok na ok during the run: the weather! :)

malamig ang simoy ng hangin (pero mabantot in some parts of the route hahaha)

 

need to get back into shape! pahinga lang onti then back to practice na

 

congrats to all 7-eleven run participants/finishers!

Sir, i've already registered for the NSL this february. Is lack of water stations a common occurence? How about hydration systems like nathan or fuelbelt or camelbak? Gusto ko sana bumili nung speed2r na inaadvertise sa sulit . Yun daw kasi ung ginamit ni Andy potts nung nanalo siya sa Lake placid Iron man 2012 (feeling athlete)

 

Currently i use a Nathan quickshot handheld 10 ounce. At tubig lang iniinom ko with a slice of lemon. Sakto lang para sa 10k runs ko. At kulang na kulang for a 21k

 

Ang akin pong katanungan,

 

1. can you weigh in on hydration belts and handhelds? Hindi ba uncomfortable na may nakasabit sa baywang nang 21k. Tsaka original po ba yung mga benta sa sulit. Kasi I've compared with prices of the speed2r sa Tobys and it was lower by at least 60%. 2,600 sa toby's at yung lowest sa sulit na speed2r is 1,000 petots

 

2. Will eating banana, gels or energy bars help speed me up or keep my mind sharper. Tumakbo na ako nang 21k sa probinsya with only gatorade and by the last 5k nag lo-log out na yung utak ko, mabagal na ako mag isip. Hindi ba pupulikatin ung tiyan ko niyan.

Regarding hydration systems, nasa iyo kung ano gamay mo. If you are comfortable running 10km with the 10oz water bottle, running 21k with it should be ok. You can refill at water stations. All organized closed-off route races have water stations spread throughout the course usually at 1-3km distance between stations. If it's a Runrio event, water stations are about 1.5km apart. Greentennial Runner events are every 1km. Ultramarathons don't have water stations as each runner is required to provide his or her own support vehicle to carry food and water and whatever else the runner wants (cot, portalet, chairs, change of clothes, extra footwear (pati rubber slippers!), masahista, etc).

 

Some runners wont bring a hydration system and just rely on the water stations. Some bring their own. It's really up to the runner on what he or she prefers and is used to. Yung running belt medyo nakaka-ilang sa mga unang beses gamitin kasi susubukan mo kung ano yung tamang higpit ng belt at kung saang parte ba ng iyong balakang dapat siya I-pwesto. Sanayan din. Bawas pagod nga lang sa braso kung nasa waist ang bigat ng dala kaysa bitbit sa kamay.

 

If the race is longer than one hour, food becomes a factor. Gels, energy bars and bananas will give you fuel for your body to burn. Pwede din chocolates, chips, suman, kamote, at kung anong gamay ng runner. Sports drinks will replenish electrolytes lost and some sugar for fuel. How much to consume will again depend on what the runner. The advertisement of Gatorade that their 1.5 liter bottle is good for 1 hour of exercise is about right for male runners to replace lost electrolytes. You'll have to practice on what food is OK with you as you do your training. Eating while under stress from running may have different results compared to regular eating. Some food you are fine eating while sitting down may cause a bum stomach if consumed while running, so you'll have to try it before the race. Masmabuting "magkalat" sa isang training run kaysa sa isang race.

 

Yung pagbagal ng isap pwede din dahil sa gutom at pagod. Naka 16km ka na noon. Baka ubos na fuel sa kaawan kaya ganoon an inyong naramdaman.

 

Hope these help.

Yup, medyo nakakangawit nga yung tubig sa kamay. On 10k it's not much of a bother but i imagine sa 21k kahit pa wala nang laman yan eh nakakairita na. Besides, i need a place to properly store my phone and keys, and i'm getting irritated with my armband.

 

i might just buy that running belt. i meet up ko na lang ung seller. Nakita ko naman yung orig sa Toby's eh. So i can probably recognize kung fake yun benta niya.

 

Yup, i'm gonna try eating kamote or saging while I run. Pag me mabili ako ng murang gel, might as well try it. Sana mas maluwag luwag na yung daan sa NSL.

 

 

depende sa results Nang NSL run ko, i'll then be training for the SUB1 challenge

:lol: :lol:

 

 

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!

 

Aspirin tabs may be okay for the "pain" but it can be bad for your blood viscocity... And may result in abnormal heart beats so i hope yourfriend has a physician's order on that... Especially that he is taking 2 tabs pre run. :)

 

 

nakaregister na ako sa financial fitness run. sino tatakbo dito? kitakits

 

*taas kamay* ;)

@Confusedcius -- try mo yung ifitness belts baka matripan mo. parang garterized yung pinaka belt nya so nde sya lumuluwag or nalalaglag when you are running. this is what it looks like...

http://palmettostaterunner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IfitnessHydrationPack.jpg

sayang nde itong model yung binili ko. walang bottles yung nabili ko pero meron kabitan ng bib numbers

meron naman nabibili na add-ons. may water bottles na pede mo i-kabit sa belt pero parang almost 1k yung 2 bottles (with holster)

 

and yeah floppydrive is right in saying you should try the power gels in your practice runs first. testing mo muna kung hiyang yung tyan mo sa ganung brand/flavor.

 

@idol wyette -- welcome back madam! ^_^

Bossing!!! :lol:

 

Re energy gels, pls take them through themouth ha... Not apply them on your legs or any body part. :lol: :lol: may naalala lang ako nakita sa RU last year. B) :P

Also i would rather advise energy candies, jelly beans and such with high energy content. No need to take them with water. Sakin kasi, di ako hiyang sa kahit anong energy gel. I feel like barfing nung nagtry ako. :(

 

So kita kits sa NSL run?

I already bought the speed2r and tested it out kagabi. Yup, it took me several tries to find the best placement. Dapat pala sa hips ilagay. After that ayun, feeling ko ako sa Andy Butts. It works great. Only issue is, siksik na siksik ung iphone ko sa pouch. Kasya pero siksik.

 

Hmmm i also experimented with 1/4 Quaker granola bar kagabi, after the 45 minute mark. although, napadami ako nang inom nang tubig.

@Kempaf & @ppdd, Congrats on your 21k finish!

 

@Confusedcius, OK yung belt na yan! Maraming nabibilhan ng spare bottles. Weakness lang ng Nathan yung garter sa sides ng water bottle holder compartment. Nasisira yung garter after about two+ years. Pwede naman palitan ng bagong garter sa inyong suking patahian. Pero yung belt no problem.

 

Hi @wyette! Wow, another Ultra! Di ka na ma-reach! Natawa ako dun sa pinapahid na gel. Ganoon nga nung RUPM. Wala kasing abiso sa mga runners nung pinamigay nila yung samples sa race course. E dahil Unilab ang may gawa, akala ng iba warming gel. "Malagkit" daw at hindi mainit. hehehe

Buti na lang pala bumili ako nang 2 spare bottles and holster. I was thinking i could slip in the other 2 holster for longer runs. And slip them out for shorter runs. I had to add 600 though. So total damage ko kahapon was 1,600. Kahit masira ung garter i could just cut them off and slip these in

Congratulations on your half marathon finish.. ^_^

 

Now, on to a full marathon distance sir! B)

 

Yebaaa... See you on the race routes ;)

 

Hi @wyette! Wow, another Ultras! Di ka na ma-reach! Natawa ako dun sa pinapahid na gel. Ganoon nga nung RUPM. Wala kasing abiso sa mga runners nung pinamigay nila yung samples sa race course. E dahil Unilab ang may gawa, akala ng iba warming gel. "Malagkit" daw at hindi mainit. hehehe

Trying hardER with ultras sir. Though the one i am contemplating with is a bit tough. Though not as tough as the BDM. Haha

I have not registered yet. Will see my future train runs if i think i will have the guts to try an ultra race again. :lol:

 

... Malagkit na, di pa sila na energize. :lol: :lol:

another question po. I am thinking of buying a GPS watch. malamang po Garmin. Ang ganda kasing tingnan na nasa mapa yung takbo mo. accurate ba yung mga mapped runs. I mena hindi po ba lumilihis ang running line mo?

Sorry. No idea re GPS watches. Alam ko lang mahal ang mga yun. :lol:

So it still just the endomondo application for me. May cellphone na akong dala for emergency purposes, may speed, distance monitoring pa. ;) B)

wow congrats papi :) anu next run mo?

 

@wyette -- ahaha.. pinahid ba sa binti at hita yung power gel? :lol: malagkit nga yun :P

 

Akala ata may hihigop ng gel pag sa binti ito ilagay? Hehehe
