Running at Fitness First before work. Do you know that I started running on a treadmill before I tried road?

In my years of running, the most common question I get from people I’ve just met is this: How do I start running? Truth be told, despite all the information in books, magazines, or online, it’s not as complicated as you think. Here are simple and practical steps to take on how to get started running: (more…)

– So happy to be a member of Sun Life Tri Team –

Has it really been 3 weeks since Ironman 70.3 Cebu? For the past weeks I’ve been telling friends I need to physically and mentally recover from the experience as if it was yesterday and now I realize I’ve had more than enough time! Worse, I hadn’t even posted all the great photos we took during that fun weekend!

TBR Sun Life Dream Marathon 2017 Official Training Shirt (Front) 

Have you registered for TBR Sun Life Dream Marathon 2017? If the answer is yes, you’re looking at the Official Training Shirt that comes with your Welcome Kit. Can’t wait to hand them out to you in September!
