This was the 2nd time that Hewlett-Packard  requested me to conduct a lecture to its employees on the basics and principle of training in running. This was the 9th occassion that the Team Bald Runner conducted a running clinic. This time, the lecture was conducted at the HP Branch at the San Miguel Corporation Properties Building in Mandaluyong last 25 August 2009 after office hours through the invitation of Celyn Trinidad of HP.

 The lecture was attended by 6-7 personnel of HP and the lecture lasted for 1 1/2 hours which was followed by an Open Forum. The questions of the participants were answered by Coach Titus Salazar and myself.

My personal thanks to Celyn for taking the extra effort and time in allowing us to spread our advocacy in running through our lectures/clinics.

 The idea of conducting a Running Clinic was conceptualized during a brief visit of the Coaches of Team Bald Runner and myself at the office of the Reinier Pacific last month. Amado Castro, Jr, the President of the Company who is a runner and race walker, requested us to visit his office for final “tips” and suggestions for his participation to a 12-Hour Race Walk Competition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was in this meeting that Mr Castro suggested the idea of conducting a Running Clinic to all of his staff and personnel. Due to the holiday season, the running clinic was finally set on the afternoon of January 8, 2009.

So, this plan was realized yesterday afternoon at the training room of Reinier Pacific. The running clinic started at 2:00 PM with a brief introduction from Mr Castro as to the background and purpose of the said running clinic. The lecture was divided into two parts.  I presented a lecture on the WHY? part of running while the two coaches of Team Bald Runner, Major Ferdie Espejo Jr and Coach Saturnino Salazar, presented a lecture on the HOW? part of running with the proper training aids.

About 30 staff and personnel of the company attended the running clinic. The running clinic lasted for about 3 hours to include the time for open forum and additional information about running. The second part of the running clinic will be the ACTUAL RUNNING demonstration and practical exercises at the ULTRA Oval Track on Thursday next week. The second part of the clinic will consist of conducting proper warm-up and stretching exercises before and after the run; and the running proper.

The overall objective of this running clinic is to offer to everybody to engage in physical activity and exercise, through running/jogging/walking in order for the company to be more productive by having a healthy mind and body among its personnel. On the side of the Team Bald Runner, it is our advocacy to encourage more people to embrace a healthy lifestyle through walking/jogging and ultimately to running and be competitive to oneself. 

Ladies and gentlemen, this running clinic is FREE! If you are a part of a group or a community intending to form a running club, we can schedule a 2-part running clinic (2-3 hours of lecture and another 2 hours actual demonstration on the oval or on the ground).
