The IronBaby Running Experience

Fun Run Under The Sun

I haven't been participating in any running events for a month. Some friends of mine organized a group run in UP Diliman, which I am not familiar with. Since I have been a couple of time, I had some ideas on how the place looks like and what to expect.



UP has a unique runners/bikers lane on the road which is designated exclusively for runners and cyclists. This is only the place, as to my knowledge that provides this kind of privilege. Trees are located on both sides of the road, in which they provide a good source of air, cool breeze and as well as cover from the heat of the scorching sun. 

There are advantages of running as a group. People are forced to run on a different pace. Why? For novices, they are pushed to endure and speed up a bit in order to maintain distance with the rest of the pack. While the experienced are forced to slow down and run in a slow pace.

Running in a slow pace is more of endurance training, because running in slow and steady pace inflicts more pain compared to running in a moderate or fast pace.

Group runs are also good for breathing exercises since you should be able to have a regular conversation while running. It is also a good time to learn more about the sport, exchanging knowledge and experiences with a group.

I am very glad, I was able to attend to this. And I'm looking forward to the next one. Thanks for the fun run!
