Two years have passed since last ultramarathon race, which was the Bataan Death March (BDM) 102-km race. I found myself wanting to go back and do another ultramarathon. While searching online sometime in June, I chanced upon a link of an ultramarathon to be staged in Tacloban City. I’ve never been to this part of the country sinceContinue reading “I Shall Return 50K Ultramarathon 2013 Finisher”

Newbie 101: Races Here, There, and Everywhere
2009 Timex Run -21K Race Among newbie runners, the next question would be “How many races are considered too many?” When I started racing five or six years ago, there were not too many races on a certain date (or weekend).

L-R: Anton, ownerContinue reading “Time is Running for Recovery Run”

Perfect Pacing and Marathon Angst
Leading the pack of half-marathon runners? This is the same question I’ve been asking myself countless of times ever since I accepted the challenge to be one of the official pacers for the 1st Quezon City International Marathon. Not an easy feat considering that it will be my first time to be a pacer inContinue reading “Perfect Pacing and Marathon Angst”
A Sneak Peek of the QCIM Route
Thankful that Supertyphoon “Pepeng” (international name: Parma) cut across northern Luzon with little damage, I joined the QCIM long slow distance or LSD last Sunday, Oct. 4. I arrived at the University of the Philippines (UP) Oblation, the assembly area, at ten minutes before 4:30AM. More than 60 runners joined in this simulation run.
