Newton Gravity Trainers: In for Review
Just got my Newton Gravity Trainers last Friday. This was my raffle prize from the Runnr Grand Opening last July 10. I still have to test them and provide my review. Although I believe you have read a few of them already, so I just might talk how these...
Using and Dissecting the Timing Chip
Dear Cristine, First, in behalf of all the male runners, I congratulate you for finishing your 3K run last week at the Run for Home. We are really happy that you were able to join us. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen you since I did a 21K but I saw ...
What Race Organizers Ask from Runners Before the Race
Since I started Takbo.ph, I have meet and talked with several race organizers and race sponsors. This gave me a lot of insights on what is happening behind the scenes. From our conversations, I learned that we as runners have a part in making the race successful, more pleasant...
How Gait Analysis Help in Choosing The Right Shoe
My first running shoe in 2006 gave me a lot of problems. To begin with, it was not even a real running shoe. It was a crosstrainer I think. Then I started to learn about pronation and in choosing the right shoe. It was not easy. Selecting the right...

Product Review: Nathan Elite 2V Hydration Pak
After logging 1,000 miles (1,600km) since last May 2007, I rewarded myself with a hydration belt. This is in the tradition of Baldrunner’s 1000km Club where you reward yourself for every milestone. In my case, every 100km or whenever my budget permits. 😀 I am not a fan of...
