CLINIC TIP: RUN YOUR OWN RACE

Running clinic stresses pace, training Sun.Star Network Online: "Pages recounted how he failed to finish his first marathon because he was targeting a certain time to finish the race.

“In your first marathon, forget about the time” and concentrate on finishing the race,” Pages said. “Run your own race. Pace yourself. Start slow and walk often.”"...

QCIM TO TAP PACERS

Volunteer pacers tapped for Quezon City marathon The Philippine Star >> News >> Sports: "Runnex said pacers will be assigned to groups seeking to finish the full marathon in 3 hours, 50 minutes, 4:15, 4:30, 4:45, 5:00, 5:30 and 6:00. Each of the six groups will have two pacers, Runnex said.

To qualify as pacer, a volunteer must be physically fit and an experienced runner who has finished several full marathons and can maintain the assigned pace consistently throughout the run.

Each of the groups will have at least two pacers, a leader who will set the pace and a sweeper who will assist and encourage those lagging behind, and a back-up pacer."...

Jogging and trees Sun.Star Network Online: "WHAT'S the common factor between jogging and trees? Oxygen!

When you jog, you need more oxygen and trees supply it. Jogging, which is good for your physical and mental health, also leads to a significant increase in your oxygen consumption and heart rate, especially if you are jogging uphill. So trees are actually more valuable than you think."

TAKE COVER

Limpag: Atan and Tom’s pissing contest Sun.Star Network Online: "FOOTBALL COVERAGE. I heard that the Cebu Football Association was told to approach me to help improve media coverage of their sport.

I’m flattered but that isn’t necessary.

They only have to make sure that they can be contacted and that they have what reporters need when they have tournaments—details.

When the new board took over, it was a bitch to contact them. When we finally got hold of one member, he or she wasn’t willing to talk. In the end, we just stopped trying to contact them. What for?

When reporters covered their events, it was a waste of time. Their “lineups” had no names, their match reports had no details. Heck, if you ask the referee who scored, he’d say, “Ambot kinsa to.”

To get all the details, you have to be in the venue the whole day, which is impossible because reporters have other responsibilities.

That is why I wrote a few issues ago that the present board had a thing or two to learn from the previous president. Because Jonathan Maximo perfected this, which is why all the events he handled got ample coverage."...
