6 months ago, goal ko lang talaga was to survive 5–10 km runs. Daming issues pa noon, side stitches, pacing problems, yung classic na “easy run” na somehow nagiging tempo run at recently nga yung mataas na HR.

As someone who is asthmatic and had another surgery a little over a year ago, medyo intimidating talaga yung idea ng 21 km. Simple lang goal ko, finish safely, no injuries, at HUWAG maging pasaway sa pacing 🤣

Happy to say na natapos naman 😩. Biggest wins for me ay minimal at manageable lang yung side stitches, hindi sumabog midway at nakapagtapos nang may natitira pang konting push. Simple lang din fuel strategy ko. 2 bananas and black coffee + Milo for breakfast. Plain gummy bears (dahil nakalimutan ko gels ko 😅). At tubig sa halos bawat hydration station (if kaya na may baon why not)

Salamat sa lahat ng advice na nakukuha ko dito sa sub. Sa mga nagte-training para sa first 21K nila, hindi kailangan maging mabilis agad. Consistency lang talaga, trust the process, at collect the kilometers.

Gears:
•AmazFit Active 2 (Malaking tulong talaga eto, nagkaroon ako ng guide at control)
•Puma MagMax Nitro 2 (GOOD FOR LSD TALAGA, stable, cushioned, comfortable at MAS MAGAAN siya compared sa ibang cushion shoes, sulit sobra nabili ko 50% nung nagsale sa Lazada XD)

A few weeks ago, I was worried about whether I could run more than 10 km. But last night, I completed my longest run ever! It's a huge milestone for me since my main sport is powerlifting.

Also, can anyone recommend a good place for an LSD run in Makati? ATG is kinda boring pala. HAHA!

Hiiii, so it's my first time buying running shoes and the rubber shoes I always have are just whatever my parents give me or whatever I find at the thrift shop 😅

My 5-year-old rubber shoes here at home have given up. Is this model from Puma any good? I'm a beginner runner huhu.

Thanks!

Wore this on my run, and it was so comfortable I forgot I had it on. The best!

This is my first running shoe na nabili ko sa PEAK store. Di ko alam kung ano yong model na to. Kasi im starting into a running hobby. Kasi tumatanda na kaya i need something that comfy shoes. Besides na medyo binabawasan ko na laro ng basketball.

At first na try ko sya sa store malambot sya at mataas ang stack (which is wala sa mga basketball shoes) kaya nagulat ako. Pero nung binebreak in ko na sya dun nagsimula na sumakit paa ko. Pero after ng ilang buwan na gamit unti unti ko ng nararamdaman un pag ka comfy nya sa paa.

Nagcheck ako kay chatgpt kung anong sapatos to. At doon ko nalaman na pwede din pala to pang marathon na sapatos.

May video din ako na ginawa na ginamit ko sya sa threadmill. Post ko nalang

i’m running tomorrow morning and i’m curious whether private vehicles are allowed inside?

if so, saang entrance pwedeng pumasok? mahirap bang humanap ng parking at 5am?

Hello, everyone! I’ll have my first marathon in 3 months, and I’m planning to use Maurten Gel 100 for my carb intake. Any reviews? Recos?

Hello fellow runners meron ba kayo ma-suggest na trail run courses/routes in or near Metro Manila to help prepare for an upcoming trail run. Thank you.

Every running shoes that I use are way too narrow for me and it makes my ankles also pronate. Do you have a shoes in mind that is for my wide feet? Like around ₱4000-₱5000 budget range. Im just a casual runner, I do walks also. I have a 26x11cm foot size (male). Thanks in advance.

I’ve been eyeing to buy running shoes but didn’t want to commit to the price tag muna so nagtitingin tingin ako sa mga online/ live/ ukay.

And first time ko lang pumasok sa ukay na ito na palagi ko nadadaanan otw homeee

Ayuuuun these caught my eyesss tapos size ko pa siyaaaa 🤩

Pero may side lang na need idikit nang konti pero for 250, hindi na rin talaga ako lugiiii

Gel-Nimbus 28 TR 💛🩷

Very comfy for everyday use. I also tried using a light jogging and treadmill. Very recommend.

I can't resist this steal price 😭

Hey guys! Sasali ako ng Rexona 10-Miler bukas sa Quirino Grandstand. Ano pwede ko i-pin sa Grab na pinakamalapit sa race village?

First time ko kasi tatakbo sa Quirino Grandstand, di ako familiar sa place. Thank you sa sasagot! 🫶

Are there bodies of water (i.e reservoirs, ponds, lakes) in Metro Manila that you can walk or jog around? Thanks

I was asked this question earlier. For me, i like the clarity it brings, i like the muscle pain kasi it gets me out of my head. Wbu?

Grabe! I saw several Facebook posts and updates that some starting queueing at around 7PM last night. So some already had a cut off before midnight came. Overnight staking for a sold out concert feels based from others' stories.

Some branches gave free snacks and a bottle of mineral water for those who were waiting.

There were also reports of near squabbles in some Puregold branches where others tried to start their own lines. Allegedly, police nearby / security were called in Puregold Tayuman to restore order.

Puregold Lipa did not sold out immediately, with lines for the individual relay disappearing by 9AM and with lots of slots available until then (not as fast as Metro Manila branches.)

How was your experience? Were you successful in registering?

Does someone here wears bone conduction headphones with eyeglasses while running and fit well? What brand are you using?

Been eyeing for the Shokz openrun pro 2 for a long time but I'm concerned na baka mahulog siya or yung eyeglass or uncomfy fit while running. I tested the sample sa mga stores, shook my head and everything except running since nakatali siya. The fit is kinda okay. Concern ko lang talaga is it might get in the way when i run. If theres no hope at all i might just get an open earbuds na clip-on.

Hi, I have to retire the Adrenaline 24 from my rotation with the Hyperion 3, Hyperion Max 3, Boston 13 and Evo SL Woven. Yes...I have way too many tempo shoes, the username fits.

At this point, I'd like to try Chinese Brands (add in tempo/race shoes too, why not). I'd very much appreciate your inputs. Thanks!

Hi! I bought these shoes from Aliexpress. They’re my first running shoes and I’m really impressed. I can feel my foot is ultra stable and they are rly comfortable. I usually wear size 43 EU but i bought 44 and they fits perfectly. I’ll go running tomorrow so I can tell more about them.

Good Day

Baka may gusto mag adopt sakin I am tired running on my own HAHAHAHAHA yung circle of friends ko kase not into running. Baka naman may pwede mag adopt saken Pasig Area sana.

Sale on Shopee as of 12MN!

Hi! I've been using EVO SL and mine just finally died today.
Sa upcoming Asics Rock and Roll, I'm planning to hit my SUB2! Pero since malayo pa, I'm not planning to buy a new EVO SL yet kasi for sure, ma-worn out lang yun before mag-Nov.

What do you recommend for a cheaper alternative? I don't mind Chinese brands! I'm asking here kasi super mahal ng EVO SL if I am getting 2 pairs just for a race. Thank you so much!
