List of Running Blogs in the Philippines
Written by ManokanRunner   
Tuesday, 02 February 2010
 

I have been often asked on how many Filipino running blogs are there and which blog is the most visited.  My answer is "many".  I have lost count in the number of runners who have blogs.  When Takbo.ph started in 2008, I was reading about 20+ blogs and share them at the website.  It was easy to monitor and reply with a comment in each post before.

I do recommend that a runner keeps a blog or a journal.  There is even one runner who passed around a slumbook last December after the Rizal Day Run.  At least, have a place where you keep track of how many kilometers you have been running.  Add some details like how the run was, what shoes you were wearing, etc.

Today, there are so many runners who maintains a blog.  At the same time, there are many who stopped blogging too.  I just hope they are still running though.  So, how many blogs are there and what are their ratings?  Read more to find out.

 

Currently, there are 185 blogs in my list.  Hard to believe?  I even thought it was about a hundred only.  Well, some of them are already inactive but I just keep them in my list.  I would receive emails asking me to add them and after a few months, there is no more update.

It is hard to maintain a blog.  It takes time.  And it is also discouraging to maintain it if no one reads or makes a comment.  But I suggest, keep a blog for yourself.  It is just as rewarding.  I also apologize if I don't leave a comment as much as I do.  Or read through the details of your blog.  And to the readers, a simple comment can go a long way to inspire us to share more.

And who's blog is visited the most?

Here is the rankings data from Alexa.com.  The Alexa Traffic Rank is a popular ranking tool that will tell you how popular the site is worldwide. The lower the rank, the more popular the site is. It computes the reach and number of page views for all sites on the Web on a daily basis. Alexa.com is owned by Amazon.com.  Visit www.alexa.com for more info.

I just included those blog that reach the top 5,000,000 rank.  If your running blog should be here, let me know.  Email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   But don't expect me to update this often.

 

Ranking data as of February 1, 2010

jetpaiso.blogspot.com 4,847,342 n/a
runningshield.blogspot.com 4,849,262 46,944

   

If your blog isn't in the list.  Don't be sad.  This is updated daily and changes very fast since it is ranked against other websites in the world.  You are ranked with Google, Facebook, and Youtube which are the top 3 in the Alexa Rank.  If you check it again in a week, the rankings will change dramatically.

Even Takbo.ph will move down to 500,000 at times.  But I am hoping to reach the top 300,000 mark this year or even the top 1,000 mark in PH.  It will mean that more and more people are running in the Philippines.  I'd be happy to see that.

@pakner. It's a blog, a community site, a chat room, a calendar, a social network, a race survey site, a race bib buy and sell site, matchmaker(?). Ang dami na pinagdaan. :D

Congratulations to the top bloggers! Alas, I wish that I could have more courage in sharing my own blog. Perhaps if anybody is interested in technology, writing as an art form and spirituality and running --- then I would greatly encourage you to visit my blog at midnightpencil.wordpress.com

Wow, ang dami na nga running blogs. A year ago they could not satisfy my hunger for new posts, now I cannot keep up. I still hope people will create and maintain blogs - not for the rankings, nor for a real or hoped-for audience, but most importantly for themselves. In my personal view, the most interesting ones are those that present their own unique stories - telling it as it is and not writing for an audience. In the sea of blogs, I continue to look for those little gems.
