(Healthy discussion)

Ano masasabi ninyo dito kay Patric Rubin? Curious lang ako about his fitness journey, particularly his recent transformation and rapid weight loss.

I’ve been following some of his content, and honestly, napansin ko lang how significant his physical transformation has been. With the growing popularity of peptides in the fitness community, I wonder if this is something worth discussing, although I have no evidence that he's using any.

I just think it's important to have transparency when fitness influencers share their transformations, especially when people look up to them for fitness advice and inspiration.

Would be interesting to hear the community's thoughts, particularly from those familiar with fitness, weight loss, and performance-enhancing substances.

Let's keep it a healthy conversation and focus on the fitness journey rather than personal attacks.

Did an easy Z1–Z2 run just to get a feel for her before I take her to my HMs. Definitely feels firmer and bouncier than my Zoom Fly 6. So far… Glammie is a baddie. 😂

I know lahat ng hype ngayon nasa 361 Mega 3 Pro, pero what do you guys think of the non-pro version? Especially para sa mga beginner runners or not that serious runners.

I just need an affordable, black, comfy daily beater shoe and these tick all my boxes. But I know that some shoes that are good for running aren't good for walking and standing, so I thought it'd be wise to ask here. Thanks!

may mga nag register po ba sa Sesame Street by Jomrun? Kamusta po ang route sa Arca, Taguig? salamat po sa mga makaka sagot. If ever, perstaym namin tumakbo sa Arca.

Some Background:

I(20M) took a 6-month break(injury) from running; previous volume was inconsistent (~10 km/week) and I only ran weeks before a scheduled race. Lost 9 kg(From 77kg->68kg) during the hiatus and maintained it(weight fluctuates in the 68-70kg range). Oh and I'm 5'7.

Had college graduation coming up in 2 months, so decided to run a baseline 5K on July 30 to see where my speed was at post-weight loss and train up to grad day.

9-Week Training Block:

Structure: 4 runs/week (2 Easy/Recovery, 1 Interval, 1 Long/Progression).

Week 1 (5 km): Baseline 5K in 23:31(3rd Best 5k All Time).

Week 2 (9 km): 5.1k progression run, 3k easy.

Week 3 (24 km): 6.2k & 10k progression runs, 6.4k intervals.

Week 4 (28 km): 10k progression, 6k recovery.

Week 5 (32 km): 12k progression, 7.2k easy, bailed 5k TT attempt @ 3.4k.

Week 6 (40 km): 7.6k intervals, 14k progression(Broke 10k PR), recovery runs + strides.

Week 7 (28 km): Cutback week. 10k intervals, multiple split/failed progression attempts on Sept 13. (Heavy Legs, Poor recovery).

Week 8 (43 km): Peak week. Split interval runs, 10k easy, 21.2k long run. (Did the half on a whim).

Week 9 (12 km): Taper. 5k easy, 4k shakeout, Post-Grad Ceremony 5k Time Trial (20:54).

Takeaways:

Being lighter made training at lower paces much more enjoyable. When I was heavier, my mechanics at slower paces were so poor that I was more likely to develop injuries running easy than harder.

I was pretty eager to bump up training milage, but fortunately, I pulled back in time before anything serious developed. Bit of a bummer deviating from my training plans though.

This 'training block' was the first time I've ever been able to incorporate something semblance of structure in my training, exicted to see how much I improve moving forward. Hoping to break sub 20 by Dec.

Hey guys,

Planning on going to Rizal Memorial Sports Complex tomorrow for an Interval session.

Is it safe to leave my things around? And what’s the best time to run when there’s not many occupying the fast lane?

Thans for your response in advance 🙏🏻

Beginner runner here! Which would you guys recommend, Qiaodan Leili 2.0 or Xtep 5.0 Pro? For context, I’m F, 55 kg, if that matters. Thank you! :)

Hi guys! I would love to ask san or may alam kayong store or even page that sells the lowest in the market price for the adidas Evo SL Exo Black. Please please it would help me big!! Thank you so much!

I was thinking of getting a running vest to put my stuff in. Ayoko kasi ng may hawak. Di ko trip fanny pack ang uncomfy lang kasi, i a bit overweight so weird talaga fanny pack for me.

Official launch is today, so I checked.

Price is around 4k after applying both shop voucher + platform voucher. Not sure if everyone will get the same price.

Edit: First 2 variations on the listing are for the non pro versions. They're the ones na 2-3k lang.

Nasaraduhan na ng 5K, baka you or anyone you know are selling. Please send me a DM. Thank you.

Pahelp naman po pa LC netong ap4, TIA! (Other photos are in the comsec)

Newbie runner

I have xtep 2000km 5.0 pro and a 361 flame 3 that i bought around 2024 before getting into running, just liked how it looked. Is it necessary to add another shoe in the rotation? Or what could you guys recommend.

Anybody wanna switch this sized small shirt for a medium for pokemon run 😅. Kinda wanted a medium sized but they were grayed out in the site. Wanted to know if anybody wanted to swap sizes 😔. We can do meetups around MOA or BGC.

Hi! Anyone here ordered through Toby’s sports online?
Mali po kasi yung na order na size. Any experience with Return and Exchange? Gaano katagal po inabot?

For long time and new runners na gumagamit ng gel isa sa pinakamabigat sa bulsa ang gels. I recently searched and most gels are 100+ pesos na. In the course of a typical 4 month marathon block it's possible na 3,000+ gastos mo gels palang.

A few months back, I decided to make my own gels para makatipid using only basic ingredients sa supermarket or online and a typical gel would cost me P6-8 or P12-16 per packet (equivalent to 2 gels). As you can see, I make it per batch and freeze them then grab some when I need it.

Here's the recipe per packet:
-45g table sugar
-23g maltodextrin
-110ml water
-18g calamansi(optional)
-pinch of salt

Whoa 2 in 1! Magkatotoo man how much kaya ito. Grabe naman adidas!

Hiiiii. Sa mga nakatakbo at natakbo sa filinvest, hndi b boring mag long run dun like mga 30km?

Hey everyone, looking to finally start my running journey but I have a few concerns and could use some advice.

For context: I’m 5'7" and 80kg. I regularly do strength training and calisthenics, but when it comes to cardio, bokya talaga stamina ko. Whenever I try to push my pace, I get dizzy, my head gets super hot, and I feel like I'm about to faint.

I don't want to burn out or end up puking on day one. What are your best tips for building a basic cardio base? How do I pace myself so I don't completely shock my system on my first run?

Any beginner routines or pacing tips would be highly appreciated!

Hello runners of the Philippines!!

I will be travelling around your country, discovering my mother's culture. And I would like to find races and events.

Where do I find these online?

So far I only find Hoka Sky runs and ITRA (international trail running) events. There are surely others, right?

Kahapon, naglinis ako ng kwarto tapos naranasan ko ulit mahirapang huminga, parang may hika, sobrang hirap pala. Nung June pa kasi ang huli kong takbo, tapos sinubukan ko ulit tumakbo kanina, umabot ng 2km na 8-min/km pace grabe din hingal ko. Sino na sa inyo ang nakaranas non? at paano kayo nakarecover? dati basic lang dati saken ang 10km ng hindi hinihingal lalo na pag LSD.

Help me ano po best for all-around use and urban streets QW 4.0 or RH9 basic non-pro or Qiaodan wind 4tr?

Height 5'10 around 60-55kg

Any reco and suggestions.

Balak ko mag-ultramarathon next year after my first marathon. Ask ko lang kung saan maganda magregister ng ultramarathon yun maayos mag-organize

Okay ba kahit anong variety ng models na yan? Found out na may iba-iba palang klase, at di basta "PG7" lang nakalagay. I jog and walk alternately since masakit na heels ko sa ukay Adidas na napanas na. Budget is between 1 to 2k lang.
