‘Cebu’s ambassadors’

On Sunday, the streets from Lapu-Lapu all the way to Talisay City will be filled by more than 1,600 of the Cobra Ironman 70.3 and organizers expect the crowd to lineup the streets as well.

“We expect the crowd to cheer with genuine enthusiasm and use positive and kind words,” said race director Guy Concepcion, who added the locals will serve as the ambassadors of Cebu and should be in their best behavior.

“It’s best for public to watch along Punta Engaño road during the run because they can have a clear sight of participants. especially celebrities,” said Rodriguez. 

Local fixtures Piolo Pascual, Matteo Guidecelli, Erwann Heusaff, Kim Atienza, Senator Pia Cayetano, Gilbert Remulla, Drew Arellano and Jennylyn Mercado will also be attending.

100 Beginner Running Tips

The Complete Running Blog Network has compiled a list of helpful tips for beginner and even veteran runners.  The list includes helpful pieces of advice of different aspects of running including: Apparel , Manners, Motivation , Nutrition, Prevention, Safety, Racing Tips, Shoes, Training and Weather Tips.

Some of my personal favorites include:

Apparel

• Wear spandex shorts under your regular running shorts so you don’t chafe “down there.”
• Cotton socks will only lead to blisters; invest in socks designed for running.

Manners

• Always try to balance running with the people you love by making a schedule that involves and is considerate of everyone.

Motivation

• Find a committed running partner. It is much harder to skip a run when you have someone else depending on you.

Nutrition

• Hydrate. Make it a habit to drink water throughout the day. 
• To aid recovery the most crucial time to eat and drink is in the hour immediately after you run.

Protection

• Use Vaseline or BodyGlide wherever things rub. They will help prevent blisters and chafing (guys don’t forget the nipples). 
• Don’t stretch before a run. Warm up by walking briskly or jogging slowly for several minutes.

Racing Tips

• Race day is not the day to try new shoes, eat new foods, or wear brand new clothing.
• Do not try a marathon as your first race.

Shoe Tips

• Try shoes on in the afternoon when your feet are bigger.
• Doubleknot your shoe laces so they will not come undone when you run.

Training Tips

• If you are breathing too hard slow down or walk a bit until you feel comfortable again.
• There’s no shame in walking.
