PEx Running Club's Running 101 Activity

Last January 23(the Chinese New Year Holiday), I woke up earlier than normal to join PEx Running Club at Ayala Triangle as we hold our first Running 101 activity. Lead by ANR Team Lead Drew Llanes aka BTL (an abbreviation of different names we teased him), the Running 101 activity was attended by 35- 45 pexers, active PRC and newbie runners.

We began the activity with a short introduction of Drew, Team Diadora composed of Pedo, Allan and Kit and heads of PRC, CJ and me.

Hyper Sports Get Fit Program

I was blog surfing when I came across bananarunning's post about the HyperSports Get Fit Program. I was curious so I decided to check out their home page.

Hyper sports, Inc is a group of athletes (runners and track and field-ers) who share their knowledge on running and fitness, in general for free. Their aim is to promote good health and physical fitness to prepare their participants for different types of sports but mainly for running.

 Spotted from the Hyper Sports Website

On January 21, I decided to attend the 2nd session of the Get Fit Program. It started late since there was an event in Ultra but we did just as planned. From 4pm, we warmed up with drills (high knees, modified butt kicks, etc). Then, we did dynamic stretches.

Then, we did circuit training. The coaches considered that a number of us will be running the Timex Run so to cap off the training, we did relays around the Ultra oval instead of longer runs. This was a competition and the consequence for the losing team is to drop on all fours and climb under the winners.

This program is free. Hyper Sports even provided free shirts. So they'll train you for free, give you a shirt and even keep you hydrated and keep you energized with bananas. All you have to do is sign up in this website.
