- Biking for Dummies
Biking for Dummies. That’s the book I need right now for two obvious reasons: 1) This February, my goal is to learn how to bike with cleats, and 2) I’m the dumbest person I know when it comes to biking. My brain has the capacity to memorize pace and time for marathons, but it struggles [...]

- RIP J. cu unjieng
Runner, triathlete, and FrontRunner Columnist, J. Cu Unjieng, passed away this afternoon. I didn’t know him personally, but I knew of him. In April 2009, I interviewed him along with other BDM 102 finishers. I thought it best to repost the link below as he talked about finishing the 1st Bataan Death March: RUNNERS’ INTERVIEW: [...]

- On Credibility & Transparency
So the blogging world is abuzz over the “Big Bad Blogger” that Margaux Salcedo wrote about in Sunday Inquirer Magazine. She basically exposed the crooked ways of a blogger/ PR agency in pressuring (or shall we call it blackmailing?) restaurants into paying them to get good reviews on a blog. What I like most about [...]

- Marathon Revelations
Do you want to know who a person really is? What makes him tick? Have him sign up for a marathon and his true self will be revealed. After observing hundreds of runners toil away for months on end while training for their first marathon, I have enjoyed what marathon training offers: a glimpse into [...]
- Running McKinley
I used to dread McKinley Hill. If there was a race that included McKinley in its route I would think twice about registering. I vividly recall the first time I ran 15k at the VSO Bahaginan Race in November 2008. It was the longest ever run for me and, after 10k, I was exhausted. I [...]
- Bull Clinic & Bull Session Schedules – Jan & Feb 2011

Everything else remains the same: We assemble at 5:30 a.m. with Lit Onrubia giving us a brief talk before we run for 90 minutes together. You may [...]
