Runners
Go Beyond Running with Active Health
They
train hard. They eat right. They take vitamins and supplements. They join
races. They beat their own personal records. These are just some of the
preparations and priorities of runners as they pursue their passion for
running. Proper nutrition and training are, after all, significant to their performance
and endurance.
As running becomes more popular among
Filipinos, and as runners progress into competitive running, marathons and even
triathlons, they have started to invest time, effort and resources in their health
and well-being.
Enervon Activ, a premium vitamin that
aids in stamina-building for people
pursuing an active lifestyle, is providing runners an opportunity to tap into
the expertise and vast experiences of top coaches, sports science experts, and sports
nutritionists through the one-day Active Health Runner’s Summit on August 17, a
whole day learning program presented by Enervon Activ, for runners aspiring to
progress better, particularly runners who are planning to run longer distances
in their future races such as the upcoming Run United Philippine Marathon on
October 6.
“We are providing runners with a
holistic approach and lifestyle solutions that can empower them to progress in
their sports and reach their ultimate potential,” said Alex Panlilio, head of
Unilab Active Head, which is the title sponsor of the Run United and Tri United
series of races.
The Active
Health Runner’s Summit will include sessions on running physiologies and key
methods on proper sports nutrition. The summit will be divided into three
modules: first is the Runner’s Machine,
a segment for an appreciation of a runner’s physical body, then the Runner’s Fuel, a segment to understand
science-based sports nutrition needs particularly for endurance runners, and
finally the Beyond Running segment,
which touches on the mental fitness needed when gunning for longer distances.
Reil Vinard
Santos Espino, Kris Agarao and Saul Sibayan of the University Of Santo Tomas’ Sports
Science Department will discuss the differences of an endurance runner’s body
versus other types of builds of athletes; this way runner’s will learn how to
efficiently maximize their physical assets. Premiere race organizer, coach and
long-distance runner Rio Dela Cruz will also share his expertise on how runners
can improve their running practices and eventually achieve their running goals,
especially in big feats like in a full marathon.
Jeaneth Aro,
President and Chief Nutritionist of NUTRIFIT Philippines, will provide the
basics how food intake works in the body to give endurance runners that needed
push in their long distance feats. She will also be touching on the
effectiveness of having a pre, during, and after nutrition regimen, in her
segment ‘The Science of Eating for Sport Success’.
The
program also includes a discussion on how mental battles can greatly affect
one’s achievements, especially after long hours of running. Celebrity long
distance runner and triathlete Kim “Kuya Kim” Atienza will share how runner’s
can take a step forward in their mental battles with his talks on Motivation for Endurance Runners and Mental Fitness Preparation Techniques.
“Runners who want to level up and
improve their running performance would definitely learn a lot from this summit;
this is something that hasn’t been done before, made especially for endurance runners,”
said Jaymie ‘The Bull Runner’ Pizarro.
Unilab Active Health’s top athletes and
brand ambassadors Run Rio CEO Rio dela Cruz, triathlon coaches Dan and Ani De
Leon-Brown and the Bull Runner Jaymie Pizarro will also attend the Active
Health Runner’s Summit, which will be held at the Jose Y. Campos Hall,
