Men’s Health Urbanathlon & Festival 2012

The Philippine edition of Men’s Health Magazine launched last August 14 its 2012 Men’s Health Urbanathlon & Festival in a dinner for bloggers at Grams Diner in Bonifacio Global City. The toughest urbanathlon race will be held on October 14 at SM Mall of Asia grounds. This year’s edition promises to be bigger, tougher and more challenging as Men’s Health raises the bar to a higher level by providing a 21k distance aside from the usual 5K and 10K categories. This unique race does not only require perfect running form and speed but also endurance and agility of the urbanathelete as they try to overcome obstacles strategically positioned along the course. 





This year’s obstacles includes Monkey and Parallel Bars, Steeple chase and modified tires, Container vans, Wall climb, Vertical climb, Scaffolding maze and Quantum leap.

Mimicking the NB Power Race

It was the New Balance Power race yesterday at Clark. And since I will not be participating on this race because of personal reasons, I planned to do a 10K run on my own and virtually mimicked the race. It was past 6:00am when I woke up yesterday morning. I then asked Swthrt if she still wanted to join me. Our plan was to run at Mckinley Hill for Swthrt’s hill training. But since the sun was already up, we ran at UP instead. When we arrived, there were already lots of runners because it was the Men’s Health Urbanathlon race. After having our car parked at the back of the Aberlado Hall, we immediately proceeded with our run. Swthrt and I ran together with a pace of about 6:30 to 7:00 min/km until halfway of the 4th round. Afterwards, Swthrt then told me to continue and finish my 10K goal, while she finished 4 rounds with a total of 8.8K, her longest run so far. She is building her base and endurance to prepare for her first 10K race (no particular race yet). I continued the remaining one and a half round with a much faster pace completing 5 rounds which totalled 11K. It was great to be back on the road again.

As a prelude to our Sunday run, we did our usual Saturday evening run at UP. We only did 2 rounds (4.4K) of the academic oval just in time before our worship meeting.
