15 February 2008 (7:15-8:00 AM)

I was able to run some more kilometers/miles inside PMA grounds after finishing the 2008 Gidaya Trail Run. Aside from the race distance, I was able to cover a distance of 5.85 kilometers with a time of 36:07 minutes with an average pace of 6:08 minutes per kilometer. I had an Average HR of 149 bpm and a Maximum HR of 162 bpm. Calories consumed were 430.

In the Gidaya Trail Run, I was able to experience heavy/deep breathing and faster beating of my heart as I ran over the first kilometer of the run. My GF 305 registered  my highest recorded Heart Rate (HR) in running at an Average HR of 166 bpm and Maximum HR of 173 bpm!

I really wanted to have my last long & slow distance  (LSD) run for about 3 hours while in Baguio City but I would be missing the awarding ceremony and had to return to Manila after lunch. Running in Baguio City for a longer time could had been my Altitude Training in preparation for next week’s Pasig River Heritage Marathon. Finally, I decided and planned to have my 3-hour run in Manila on the next day, Saturday.

Total Distance Run in Baguio—8 kilometers or 5 miles. Total Time of Run—50:54 minutes
