We love Raul Concepcion aka RunningShield for many reasons but not least because he organized the hugely successful Condura Skyway Run for a Hero race last February 1st.  My race report is here where I ran my Philippines personal best of 3:30:01 after biking 91km that morning.

Primed Dark Chocolate Honey Bar

1 Comment

I had a secret weapon for my Condura Skyway 21km Run Race.  It was my Primed Dark Chocolate Honey Bar.  It was a great pre-race fuel source and a cool reward for my best half-marathon time.

This was my first 21km road race and I really enjoyed it.  It was great to meet friends like Tessa Valdez and achieve my sub 3 hour goal of 2:55:04 to come in number 2300 out of 4300 plus runners.

Great to see you at the run Tessa.

Thanks to Ton and Raul Concepcion for a wonderfully organized race.  I am looking forward to improving my 21km time next year already.  Or maybe I’ll try the marathon?

Condura Skyway Race Report: Stronger, Faster, Younger, Primed.

10 Comments

The gun shot at midnight to herald the start of the Condura Skyway marathon had extra significance for all of the 5000 plus marathon runners that morning. The gun shot was symbolic of the loss of the 44 Fallen PNP-SAF members. They are heroes who died for freedom and peace. May you all Rest in Peace and your families gain strength from your sacrifice. We all salute and respect you.

Running for a Cause – Congratulations Raul Concepcion aka RunningShield

Thanks to the vision and integrity of Raul Concepcion we had an event to honor our heroes. The fallen 44 and the current serving and retired armed forces were at the forefront of our minds and hearts.

Like the thousands of others I ran with a heavy heart as I thought of them. I also reflected on my other heroes and was thinking of my Dad, my hero, Charles Davis. He adopted and adored my brother and I and was a great man. I ran that morning wearing his ring. It was quite prophetic that at the 28km mark I was joined by a guy called Charles, the only person whom I ran with for a few kilometers as he kept my steady pace of 4:58 for the entire marathon.  I took it as symbolic that my Dad was with me for the race and I knew in my heart that I would finish the race strongly.

The Grass Is Definitely Greener at Green Pastures, Shangri-La Mall

6 Comments

I have found a great restaurant in the Ortigas area that serves fabulously Primed food and drinks. Green Pastures on the 4th level of the East Wing of Shangri-La Mall rocks big time. They will soon open a branch in Eastwood for the lucky people living and working there.

My buddy Rina and I loved the food, drinks, ambiance and service. Thanks to Bobbee and Christian for looking after us so well.

Joining Audax Randonneurs Philippines is Fabulous Fun

Leave a comment

Natasha and I joined over 250 other cyclists and triathletes in the Audax Randonneurs Philippines 200km Brevet Ride in the early hours of Saturday the 24th of January. The ride was from Subic to Masinloc and back and was a hoot.

The event was summed up perfectly by Basta Masaya when he said: “Chilly morning, hot midday, strong winds, great participants, new friends, HEROES all.”

6 Reasons to Join Audax Rides

For sure there are more than 6 reasons but here we go….

1. Meet New Friends

What can be better than meeting new friends and catching up with old ones? It was a pleasure to meet Carmela and also see our trail running buddy Joanne Plumbley riding with Team David’s Salon (who are also a sponsor of Audax rdies). Joanne then joined NAGT triathlon the following day and got top place on the podium. Amazing effort.

Primed Korean Kimbap with Mackerel, Kimchi and Omelette

A Primed Lifestyle is about eating optimally to maximize the nutrition for better mind and body performance.

It is also vitally important to ensure your food and beverage does not cause inflammation in your body and that you support and promote healthy gut bacteria.

Here is a power breakfast (suitable for lunch and dinner too) that is a perfect combination of energizing and satisfying saturated fat, protein and gut healthy probiotics. You can add roasted squash, spinach, cucumber and carrot batons if you wish to add healthy carbohydrates.  For more power breakfast recipes see my article here for http://www.swimbikerun.ph.
