If you happen to be watching some videos on YouTube Channel or simply browsing on the said platform, please visit my YouTube Channel.

I have started with my running workouts and training videos but eventually shifted to Heritage Wear & Fashion. I have been slowly learning about creating contents on videos and I started to ask a friend for help and guidance who had been in this platform for the past years. I am still learning up to this time after two years of posting some videos.

From my running videos and mixing cocktail drinks, I have concentrated on heritage wear and fashion for the past two years. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown and restrictions, I have discovered a community of Heritage Wear lovers and I really enjoy their company. This Heritage Wear is concentrated on Vintage Style Fashion which revolves around Denim and other related Workwear to include Heritage Boots (Work and Military Boots), Military Outfits, Vintage Athlete Wear, and Ivy Style of Fashion. However, I am not much on the latter as I concentrate more on Denims, Boots, Military Wear, and Athletes’ Wear.

So, if you are interested in these outfits, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel. Thank you for your support.

For the month of May 2023, I have started running again. Slowly, I am bringing back my running & hiking daily. But before I started going back, I have to purchase a new Running Watch with GPS and other data to be taken from my workout to include my BPM, Distance covered, Average Speed and Pace and others. I had to buy the basic Coros Pace 2 from Amazon as it serves as my basic running watch which can give me the necessary data as feedback to my training.

I have started my running and hiking on May 1 and I had been doing it on a daily basis. If I run on a certain day, the following day is a hike. I followed the principle of “Hard-Easy” training. I have started with time-based training wherein my daily workout should not be less than One Hour, to include my Hiking workout. Initially, I made my daily workouts in my Backyard Loop which has a total distance of 500 meters in one loop. And after 2 weeks, I have to go out of my compound and run a loop along the streets that surround my compound. Each loop of the “street loop” around my compound has a total distance of 620 meters and it is a good option whenever I am bored with my backyard loop.

From One Hour workout, I gradually increased my time-based workout to One Hour and 30 minutes on the second week and on the 3rd week, I was able to increase to Two Hours during my weekend runs. On the average on the 4th week, I would run and hike to an average of One Hour & Thirty Minutes every day.

In total, combining Running and Hiking, I was able to cover a distance of 262+Kilometers (164 miles). It took me a total of 50:30 Hours accumulated time making my effort at an average speed of 5.2 kilometers per hour at a pace of 11:00-12:00 minutes per kilometer. It is a slow pace and speed because of my age (71 years old) and making sure to follow the Zone 2 Training (not exceeding to 120 beats per minute on my Heart Rate). Following the Zone 2 training will surely develop my Aerobic Endurance.

Actually, this Zone 2 training will take a duration of 4 months and I have still 3 months to go.

Follow me on this adventure and it will be exciting. I hope this training will result to more running and hiking adventures in the future.
