TBR Magazine Shoot – Behind the Scenes (April 09 Issue)

As we prepare for the release of the 2nd issue of TBR Magazine, I thought of sharing some behind-the-scenes shots from our very first issue last April 2009. 

The photos should show you how serious we are about giving you all runners an informative resource on all things running, while inspiring and motivating you to reach your respective goals.  For this issue, we shot at various locations on different days. For our cover story, we shot Sen. Pia Cayetano at the polo field in Alabang Country Club.

For the PR section, we asked my good friend Annie Agoncillo to run through the empty lots near Temple Drive in Pasig. And, for the training article, we asked Coach George to run up and down the steep hill behind Ultra.

It is serious work, but most of the time, it doesn’t feel like it for me.  Working on TBR Magazine is probably the best job in the world. I get to work with talented people who are masters at their craft, plus they are runners, too.  (They should be, right?!)  Our photographer, writers, and down to our talents for each article are all runners.  Even our printer at that time considered taking up running when she read through the drafts!

Our July issue will be out in the next couple of weeks.  Expect a thicker (almost double the pages) and better (we listened to your comments!) TBR Magazine.  I’ll let you know where and when we’ll be releasing them. Thank you once again to the wonderful team behind TBR Magazine – March Issue 2009:
