Hi sir, just wanna ask. Does your team also join other track and field tournaments such as 100 m dash, high jump, etc? I really want to participate in these athletics events, I just don’t know how.. I used to run competitively way back in high school and college has been a big pressure academically I was unable to pursue this passion of mine. By the way, Cresencianoi Sabal is an acquantance back in la salle. Is there any way I can contact him since I believe he’s one of your team members. More power! God bless

wayne, thanks! these elite runners need the much-needed support and exposure to this kind of running event which was one of the “first” of TNF in the country.

aldz, these runners really train hard & do “doubles” (mornings & late afternoons) almost everyday in the mountains of Tanay, Rizal. their support is not adequate (exposures, special coaching, nutrition & diet), and their income/regular pay could hardly support their training and family needs. please read the comment of fuerza armada. i’ll be posting ultra running training schedules soon & hope you can join us in our br’s ultra events soon!

fuerza armada, it is one of the plans of BR’s Events to provide personal coaching to newbies and intermediate runners as well as the youths using these elite runners. watch out for our free running clinics and seminars soon. thanks for the nice comment again. don’t worry, i will try my best to help these athletes by sponsoring them to join races with cash prizes. happy running!

Dear Apo Baldrunner,
It’s so nice to see the Team Baldrunner dominated again another running event. These guys are really great. Actually some of them I knew personally, trained with them, being coached by them, even drank with them. Being with them can drastically improve a runner’s performance. I was amazed by their training regimen. Most of their programs are not found in the running magazines or books. About a month ago after a local race, we had a drinking celebration (for them, this is a familiar scene after races). We had a a good time, some of them others won’t believe are also good singers. Their war stories (races) local and international are awesome as well. Then we came to the sentimental part of our conversation. I learned that some of them really wanted to augment their earnings apart from their salaries and cash winnings. Some of them are really having the difficulty in making both ends meet. Then they suggested personal coaching. They are willing to coach runners who wanted to improve their performances for a reasonable amount. I think that could be done without prejudice to official duties and without affecting the athletes’ performances.I am sure there are a lot of newbie and intermediate runners who wanted to be competitive in our sports.Why don’t we introduce them to our local elites? Most of our runners are self-coached, but being guided by the elites would make a big difference. Thank you Sir for your intercession…

Sir,
It would really be great if the experiences of each of the 100k runners be posted here. I really want to read about how they trained and how they overcame this obstacle physically and mentally. It’s really no ordinary feat. Congratulations once again to Team Baldrunner. I’ll train hard to be able to join your team someday. ^^
