Last Wednesday, April 7, 2010, runners packed the corner of R.O.X. Bonifacio High Street for the 3rd Bull Circle Talk.  This time, we were delighted to have the largest attendance so far with 170 runners arriving for the talk on Gear and Gels.

John of Oakley, our co-presentor for TBR Dream Marathon, treated runners to a product presentation before the Bull Circle talk began…

Harvie de Baron of Hammer Nutrition explained the importance of proper nutrition not just on race day but also prior to the race and post-race. Harvie said that our body has a natural “fuel tank” that should last for 90 mins. if we run at 75 to 80% of maximum heart rate. After this point, we should refuel using gels or sportsdrinks…

Hector Yuzon of Secondwind Running Store discussed running shoes. He gave runners important and practical tips on choosing the right shoe for their foot types and answered all shoe and foot queries…

Thank you to Harvie and Hector for your informative talks and for your support for our TBR Dream Marathoners!
