Like any other sports, running is safe provided one is equipped with the proper knowledge and understanding of the sport. With the boom in running, more and more people are enticed to try the sport. And with many races with categories of distances from 2.5K fun run distance to a full 42.195K marathon any runner would easily fall into the temptation of running longer distances to push one’s limits. This is where the danger lies. Running unprepared for any race and any distance is quite dangerous and could be fatal. It is a good thing that veteran runners and running organizations are concerned of educating newbie runners about the sport. One of them is the FrontRunner Magazine of our good friend Jonel, a certified ultra runner. His group will be conducting the 2nd of a series of running clinics to make aware the public of the different aspects of the sport. This session’s speakers are: Harvie De Baron, Sports Nutritionist who will be discussing Proper Nutrition for running; Ms. Bernadette Bathan, Runner and blogger/marathoner who will share on Women Running concerns; and Dr. Jonathan Babsa-ay, MD, Ultramarathoner who will lecture on Medical concerns of runners. It will be held at R.O.X., Bonifacio High Street, Global City, Taguig on August 4, 2010 at 6:00pm - 9:00pm. Be there.
