RUN Post # 4: Coming back at Adidas KOTR 2012 16.8K Run

Runner:   17184
Event:      16.8 K
Time:       1 hour, 53 mins, & 3 secs

Btw sorry for posting this late for I have no Internet connection since Monday, DIGITEL SUCKS, that I need to write it down first on a piece of paper just to freshly remember my thoughts on this blog post. (Yeah, I have a not-so-sharp memory) Pens are still sharper than brains just so you know. 


And another thing, thank you to Ate Cheena for generously sharing her super bilis na PLDT Internet to me. Without it, baka sa December ko na mai-post 'to.


Oh well here it goes. . .

ADIDAS KING OF THE ROAD 2012

@ Bonifacio Global City, Taguig

5K, 10K, 16.8K

I joined the not so usual event in marathons, the 16.8K run, an approximately 10 mile run. I do not have any idea behind this event, why's it not the usual exact half-marathon, 21K event? Bakit pa may gansal na 800 meters? Pauso lang ba 'to ng Adidas? Tell me please. 

So here are some of my pictures in action!

RUN Post # 3: Adidas KOTR 2012 Race Kit

After weeks of waiting, finally I received my Adidas King of the Road 2012 race kit. Yeah!!! One week left, actually 6 days na lang, before Adidas KOTR run and still I can't improve my training. I've been on a strict training for about 2 weeks now, do not include these coming days okay, but I haven't finished 16.8K yet or even closer on my training.


On the other hand, I know that my once-every-other-day 10K training really helped me. Keeping the most comfortable pace until the end of my training, and sometimes finishing it hard with a faster pace. Oh, it just felt so gooood!

Let's take a look what's inside the kit:

A loot bag, this one is very useful to me. I can put my used shirts here after playing badminton. Hahaha. No need to bring plastics for me!

RUN Post # 2: Failed to extend for another 5K

9 days before my 16.8K Adidas King of the Road run, and I still can't improve my training. That sucks! Maybe because I'm lack of sleep (I slept almost 1:00 AM waiting for my phone's update to finish) so I can't push myself harder or maybe because I'm alone in training? But...I don't think so coz I have an iPod (my alternative running buddy) with me. In every beat of the song I'm listening there comes a strong stride from my feet pushing myself to its limit. Still I finished my usual training, a 10K run with a time of 59 mins. 

Right after I finished my 10K training.

RUN Post # 1: Training for Adidas KOTR '12, 11 days left

11 days before Adidas KOTR 2012, and I can't stop my feet from training. Running myself for approximately 10 kilometers once every other day until Sept 30 is my program for my 16.8K run. 

This will be my comeback run since last year's Unilab Run United 3 (I was ranked 553rd place out of 2191 runners) and I'm not including the Outbreak Manila in Nuvali coz it was a damn full-packed Zombie hurdles and you just fucking need to think wisely (maging LAON ka dapat) on how to outrun those shit Zombies. But really, I do enjoy that run especially when I outrun those nasty Zombies for my life, este for the medal. (buti wala ako sakit sa puso)

 Just a proof for you guys to believe me that I really outrun the Zombies, and can you spot that red flag on my right (on your left of course)? That's my one last life to get that Survivor Medal. Get lost zombies.
