Running Aid 3 Report

Once again, runners of all shapes, sizes, and experiences flocked to ROX last night for Running Aid 3 led by speakers Neville Manaois, team principal of Pinoy Ultra Runners, and Dr. Paolo Punsalan, Orthopedic Surgeon and member of Pinoy Ultra runners.

- Neville Manaois discusses form -

As in Running Aid 2, Dr. Punsalan discussed proper form and technique. This time, however, Pinoy Ultra Runners effectively demonstrated gait and form using two treadmills on stage. Dr. Punsalan also provided free analysis for runners who wanted their running form critiqued in front of the audience’s discerning eyes.

I made the big mistake of showing up in full running gear as I had run 7k around Bonifacio High Street prior to the talk. Pinoy Ultra Runner Jeremy basically volunteered for me and pushed me onto the treadmill where I ran—much like an experimental hamster observed by scientists—while being interviewed by the good doctor about my form and previous injuries. Notice that I called him the “good doctor”; well, that’s because he didn’t have anything bad to say about my form. Phew, phew, pheeew!

- Trying not to make a fool of myself -

Neville Manaois covered a new topic: Troubleshooting, which was very informative as he discussed exactly what to do when little hitches such as cramps, sidestitches, etc. creep up during a run. I think I mentioned before that I enjoy Neville’s talks because most of his tips aren’t picked up from a book or the web but are gleaned from his experiences out there on the roads and trails.

Again, congratulations to Pinoy Ultra Runners for yet another successful gathering. More power to you guys.

  3. Yun pala ang meaning ng BWK… honestly I still have no clues on what it means.

    Jinoe, secret society kasi eh. You’ll only know the meaning when you’ve been officially recognized as member.

  4. Jinoe,

    You have to be invited to know what it means.

    And we have very very rigorous screening

    Jinoe, mag train ka muna. We’ll evaluate in the months to come.

  7. Hello BR,

    Great Job! It’s nice to see that Running in my country is headed to the right direction. A Podiatrist would be a good addition to a clinic like that!

    Good job Neville, Been trying to find the right time to contact you because my daughter, Nikki is your student in Ateneo and mentioned you to me a few times na!

    Again good job with the campaign to prevent our fellow pinoy runners from getting injured. Please let me know if you guys need any help from my side or something I could get you from the states.

    Mabuhay to y’all!

    Gotta Run,

    The Running Shoe Guru
