My first run race

[ground_break]

Please share your experiences.

Why did you run your first race? What preparation did you do? What was the result of your first race?

[cuteehcath]

why? nayaya lang ako ng mga friends ko. hahaha!

what prep? wala! haha!

result of my first race? side stitch, haha. pagod. sakit ng legs.

[ground_break]

My first run race was Run to Build on May 2011.

Why? Goal kong makatapos ng 5k kahit isang beses. Na-inggit kasi ako kay princekc na adik sa 5k then and byakuya ng swim team.

Naaya ko si princekc and byakuya which was so exciting then kasi wala akong ibang maaya.

I prep by running 15 mins to 30 min every other morning 2 weeks before the race.

[cuteehcath]

My first run race was InsuRUNce on October 14, 2012

Why? Gusto ko kasi pumayat, haha. Nagpa-reg ako para ma-motivate mag training.

What prep? Tumakbo ako ng 2 weeks before the race pero weekends lang yun. So 4 mornings lang. Hehe.

Result of my first race? Hingal na hingal as expected. Haha.

[atmos]

nayaya yata ako ni groundbreak. it was the slimmerun 2011 na hindi ko naman pinuntahan! umuulan kasi eh!

preparation: well, bumili ako ng bagong running shoes, tumakbo sa treadmill, and more leg exercise! \o/

i finished my first 5k (i think it was takbo.ph run-niversary) in about 48minutes? but from there, nag-train talaga ako ng maayos for endurance and strength. so far, my fastest 5K was in boracay run 2012, approximately 31minutes yata yun!

First Run: Ensure to Endure 2 (though tumatakbo na po talaga ako dati pa, hindi lang sa mga fun runs) Hehe.
Preparation: 3-4x/week lang po na run tas ayun kinaya naman.
Result: For some weird reason, inantok ako. LOL

My first run race was Run for Integrity on May 2011.

I joined this fun run kase na-inspire lang ako sa kakilala who is into running. And gusto ko rin ma-experience kung anu ba ang feeling pag sumali sa mga fun run events.

I prepared that race by running 5k twice a week, 1 month before the race.

The result was great! Actually, since its my first time to join fun runs, akala ko bawal maglakad during the race. Kung meron man, very rare lang and very short walk lang talaga. Pero nung nandun na kami, siguro mga 200 meters pa lang ang dami ng naglalakad. Tapos yung 7 magkakaibigang babae nagpi-picture taking na lang sa daan. Tapos tawanan na lang ng tawanan, parang wala ng balak tumakbo. Hehehe.. Sabi ko, ganito pala dito. Pang "fun" lang pala talaga. Grabe pa naman ang training na ginawa ko. At dahil siguro sa ganung expectation ko na bawal huminto during the race, and because of adrenalin na rin siguro, ayun natapos ko yung 5k ng 30mins lang yata. And another funny thing is, hindi ko pa uli nagagawa yun. So yung first ever 5k ko, yun din ang PR ko for that distance. Hindi ko pa sya nabi-beat until now..

sabi nila, all you need to get a fire burning is a spark.

so the spark that started my running career (career talaga?!) was San Mig Bay Run 2010 held in MOA. 3k. pambata. bata pa kase ako nun. haha.

i didn't have to train naman (ang OA lang) but i was already doing short runs kase every MWF mornings a few weeks before that. as advised by the doctor, i needed to do some cardio/aero before i think of lifting weights.

i think i had a decent enough finish naman at 21:17.

800M Run District Amateur Meet 1994

It was my first race ever. My school would eventually win the overall district championship and later gold medals in the nationals but right now I am scared as hell.

Tough looking guys giving an aura of confidence.

I joined the track team a few weeks before this meet. I was GREEN, and looked green as well. I feel green.

I readied myself and assumed the position.

At the crack of the gun I ran full sprint to the catch up with the leaders, I was at the area of lane 5. This strategy would have been OK have I received the proper conditioning given to an 800M runner alas this is baptism by fire. My lungs are on fire! My shoes for cross training.

Most of the runners are either wearing spikes or running shoes.

By the time we hit the 400M my shoes felt like lead! MY lungs felt dry, painful. Stitches at my side.

By the time we hit the 600M mark I saw my opening. At around 20th place I sped up to half a sprint. At around 14th place I went 3/4 sprint, by the time we hit the Last 50M everyone was at full sprint. I crossed the line at 8th place.

They say you cannot forget your first run. I agree but in my case, I could never forget the feeling of it. I crossed and almost fainted, I could barely breathe. I could barely keep standing. it was a miserable feeling.

2 days later my coach ordered us to run 5km around the school

[sickzick]

My first run was Phoenix Run for the Youth (September 2, 2012), 5k. LOL. I finished it in more than an hour. LOL. Hindi naman ako napagod. Ewan ko feeling ko sobrang haba ng tinakbo ko. Yung second 5k ko ay sa MH Urbanathlon na. Natapos ko mga 32 minutes yun. Dun naman feeling ko sobrang ikli lang ng route. LOL. My next run would be this Sunday (NB Power Run), 10k na. My naka-schedule pa akong 3 races after. Haha. Adik lang.

Run for Japan 2011. This was the running that started it all for me. It was in this race that I overcame my fear of "running because soon thereafter I will lose my breath". My run was smooth, got to meet a friend in the process. I got a bit wet too.

[kathcalibag]

hello!!!

sumali ako sa fun run dahil natripan ko lang, dahil online lang ako magdamag that time... pero dahil natuwa ako sa mga singlet at medals na pwede kong makuha after a run napaisip ako na "siguro ito na yung time na mag diet na ako at magkaron ng healthy lifestyle" after ilang days nag register agad ako sa 3 fun run (no idea ako pagdating sa mga kilometers) hehehe anyway yung first run ko:

1. TETRAPAK- good cause at 5k ang pinili ko, nakaka isang block pa lang ako ng jogging hingal na talaga ako at ang feeling ko ang layo layo na ng nararating ko, super pagod na talaga ako that moment, pero sabi ko GO LANG! sa wakas nakita ko ang giant timer at napa WOW ako finally matatapos ko 'to! IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!! charot! hehehe na naka abot ako ng finish line it was a great experience for me na gusto kong ulit ulitin...

PREPARATION a week before:
- normal na pagkain ang ginawa ko not lamon
- exercise

Run United 2 2011 ata yung una kong run. Signed up for 5km run na ang ginawa ko lang ay makipagchikahan at naglakad. Nilakad ko siya ng buo for 58mins.

Nakikisama lang ako sa mga ka-opisina ko noon kaya wala akong ganang tumakbo. For the sake lang ng pakikisama at siyempre nandyan yung mindset na kahit papaano eh naka-exercise ka. Ngayon, lumo-long distance na, na-enjoy ko na yung pagtakbo.
