CONTENTS

Exactly two years ago, I did my very first triathlon. It turned out to be one of the toughest races in the country, and I instantly fell in love with the sport. It was a life-changing experience, to say the least. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into, and I didn’t know how much mental and physical preparation was needed in the sport. I literally just

jumped into the water! That memorable race was XTERRA. And this issue contains a special feature on this challenging race, which will be set in scenic Albay for the first time this February. Coach Ani de Leon-Brown, one of the premier coaches in the country, will also generously give us tips on how to plan for the year. We won’t let fatigue get in the way, and we discuss how we can overcome it in our Nutrition and Recovery sections. The season is in full swing. I’ll see you on the road!

They were once my triathlon teammates, they’re good friends of mine, and they will always be one of my favorite showbiz couples (even if they’re the least showbizzy people I know). This month, we’re thrilled to feature Drew and Iya Arellano to talk about marriage, triathlon, and their race goals for 2015. Expect to laugh aloud while reading this article as I

do whenever I’m lucky enough to bump into them. For couples who train together, we’ve got complementary gear for both of you. Even better, we present new beginner’s gear that won’t break the bank. As the race calendar heats up, we feature XTERRA Albay, Challenge Philippines, and, last but not the least, a marathon very close to my heart, the The Bull Runner ULAH Dream Marathon. Train and race strong this season! And, if you can, do it with the people that matter most!

ON WHAT TO GIVE YOUR SPORT-BUFF SWEETHEART IN THIS SEASON OF LOVE. BY RAIZA CABUGWANG

MAT O’HALLORAN & JOYETTE JOPSON

Joyette: The most important shared piece of training equipment we use is our big Accusplit pace clock. We use it up to 3 times per day for years now in swimming and for indoor bike workouts both individually and in groups. It’s also a vital tool in coaching athletes. We love our pace clock because it’s always honest, reliable and consistent no matter how the workout is going. It has paid for itself countless times over the years.

Mat is a triathlon coach while Joyette is a Barre3 instructor and triathlete.

SWEETHEARTS

Omar: My favorite is the Saucony Kinvara 5. I‘ve really enjoyed its predecessor the Kinvara 4, but the K5 is so much more durable with a stronger mesh around the toe box. It’s very light and has just enough cushioning for training or racing.

ANGELO & PEPPER LOZADA:

Angelo: Garmin 910XT. Great whenever I swim, bike or run. The information it gives is very accurate. I found the fact that it knows when you’re taking a rest and when you’re working is great along with the fact that it gives the lengths, stroke count, efficiency rating and much more.Angelo manages the famous Philippine swimming institution, Bert Lozada Swim School. He is also a swimming instructor and coach.

Pepper: I like the Polar FT4. I use this to keep track of my heart rate. It alerts me when I need to pick up my speed, exert effort, and when I need to start slowing it down.Pepper is a Zumba instructor. She also teaches baby swimming and is a proud mom of three cute, little boys.

Laarni: I absolutely love my Saucony Type A6. I use it during fast runs, speed work, and of course, racing. I’ve actually clocked several run split PRs on these babies—20 minutes faster than my old run split on my most recent Ironman race in Malaysia, for example.

ANTHONY & MARICEL PANGILINAN Anthony: The DA1 Felt Bicycle is high-tech because the gears are all automatic. It’s red, black, and white, which are the Team Pangilinan’s colors. Importante ‘yan. If you can’t perform, just ja-porm.Anthony is a management trainer, motivational speaker, productivity consultant, columnist, host, and triathlete who regularly swims, bikes, and runs together with his beautiful wife and five adorable kids.

Maricel: The sun is harsh on my eyes because I have (light colored) eyes. My favorite is my white-framed Rudy Project ability shades which I’ve worn in all my races.Maricel is an award-winning actress, columnist, author, triathlete, and mother of five.

TWO OF THE MOST TRUSTED AND DISTINGUISHED BRANDS IN THE REALM OF SPORTS RECOMMEND SOME OF THE LATEST ADDITIONS IN THEIR GEAR ROSTER THAT CAN BE GREAT VALENTINE PRESENTS FOR YOUR DEAREST SPORTS TRI MATE.

JEROME & MARIS DE CASTRO-BAUTISTA

Jerome: The North Face Better Than Naked Shorts is my favorite pair. What I like most about it is that it has 3 pockets. I can fit 2 gels per pocket, sometimes even 2 granola bars per pocket which makes it perfect for long outings whether on the road or trail. It’s lightweight and breathable with a barely-there feel and comfort. It has slits on the side providing for a full range of motion. Though a bit expensive, these shorts are my go-to trail racing shorts.

Jerome Bautista is a banker who discovered fun runs during his college days. He did his first marathon on 2009 and his first ultramarathon on 2011. He’s now more into trail running. After getting married last June 28, he’s preparing himself to run longer and harder trail races. He is also the Finance person of The Cordillera Great Traverse Team Officers for 2014-2015.

Maris: For me, the best running tights in the market is the Salomon S-Lab EXO Women’s Tights. I love its next-to-skin fit but cloth-like feel and breathability. It’s extremely comfortable, whether during hot weather or cold conditions. The material does not lose its stretchiness even after several uses over the years. I wear it during ultras and trail runs.

Maris De Castro-Bautista is a banker and has been running since 2011. She did her first marathon on 2013 and has done 2 road ultramarathons since. She’s now more inclined to explore trails and mountains. She just tied the knot last June 28, 2014 and is preparing for her first trail marathon.

DAN & ANI DE LEON BROWN

Ani: I’m loving the TT 7.0 Zoot Shoes since it provides me with the right amount of cushioning, response, and flexibility. I love that I don’t need to wear socks with it. Dan loves his Rudy Project Wing 57 Aerohelmet since it provides great ventilation and is lightweight apart from being aerodynamic.

Dan and Ani Brown are coach triathletes of different abilities and have done 34 Ironman Distance races between the two of them. Check out their triathlon camps at The Next Triathlon Camp Series through their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Next-Step-Triathlon-Camp-Series/176292879075942.

JUSTIN & BELINDA GRANGER

Justin: It’s nice to spend some time in the last two months of the year on my CEEPO Mamba road bike. Set up in a far more relaxed position, compared with the tri bike, it reduces the stress on the quad muscles. Riding the Mamba, I use more of my hamstrings and work on my cadence. This time of the year I ride a lot with the local cycling clubs and this cleans up my skills and develops my acceleration and top-end speed.

Justin is a 20-time Top 10 Iron Distance finisher and has done multiple podiums.

Belinda: My favorite is my 2015 CEEPO Katana TT bike. It fits me perfectly which is quite rare as most TT bikes are too big for shorter girls like myself. The Katana is my favorite. It’is so stiff and responsive yet still super comfortable on my longer rides. It looks great (and of course that is also important). I will always choose my Katana. I ride faster on it.

Belinda Granger is a 15-time IM Distance Champion, Australian IM Hall of Fame, professional athlete for over 15 years, and coffee lover.

BROOKS RAVENNA 6 Shower your partner lots of love by grabbing Brooks’ latest addition to its Ravenna series and go matchy-matchy with your hubby or lady in this Month of Hearts. This pair’s BioMoGo DNA cushioning brings out comfort like no other while its Segmented Crash Pad feature allows full ground contact and seamless heel to toe transition. Its adjustable saddle wrapping from heel to mid foot provides a snug fit so you can easily zoom your way to the finish line.

MAXXED BRICE AND MAXXED ASHTON Surely you’d earn extra love points from your other half this couples’ month when you gift him or her the Maxxed Brice and Ashton Running Shoes. Please her with Maxxed Brice’s high abrasion rubber that gives this shoe-meister an extra ability for long runs and its lightweight materials that evoke an almost barefoot feel. On one hand, spoil your man by treating him with a pair of genuinely good sprint/trail running Maxxed Ashton shoe. It’s beyond compare for its 3D stereo rubber that protects the footwear from dirt, mud, or dusk. Save him from strains and injuries while he’s enjoying the great outdoors, thanks to Ashton’s midsole gel type rubber.

What’s the most important concept in creating and executing a training plan?

OUR PANEL OF EXPERTS ANSWERS YOUR MOST PRESSING ENDURANCE SPORTS DILEMMAS

COACH ANI DE LEON-BROWN Coach Ani de Leon-Brown, Philippine triathlon team’s High Performance Coach and 11-time Ironman-distance finisher. Coach Ani is married to triathlon Coach Dan Brown. He is a 23-time Ironman distance finisher, Ultraman Hawaii World Championship 2006 6th place finisher. Dan has also coached both the Philippine and Korean National Triathlon Teams. They have a son, Dash.

Do not burn out in the first quarter

and suffer for the rest of the season. Build up slowly, and train

through your tune-up races without making

a big fuss.

The important concepts to consider are:

a. Abilities and aspirations of the athlete. What is

his current level of fitness, what amount of work is

he willing to do, and what are his goals?

b. Time and lifestyle constraints and how we can

work around them.

c. Proper periodization. If the athlete has prepared

the right way, progressively over a prolonged period,

then success is a real possibility.

d. Nutrition should also be addressed. A lot of times

even the best trainers can be undisciplined with

the way they eat. Some overdo it, some do not eat

enough, a lot just have no idea what to eat.

e. Include strengthening sessions where necessary,

especially in the base period of the program.

f. Other things to consider are: typical training

environment, access to facilities, training

companions? These are small, day-to-day things, but

they do spell the difference between performing

well and getting by satisfactorily.

The Asics AP01 SPM Training Watch understands that each step a runner takes, matters. With this in mind, Asics incorporated its two key features, the Steps per Minute (SPM) and the Pace and Distance, into its string of other intelligent and equally interesting specs. Steps Per Minute gives a precise count of your steps and controls your running rhythm, allowing you to find the most efficient and ideal level of strength to maximize your training. Pace and Distance feature uses an advanced 3D sensor to ensure precision. Other remarkable features that make the Asics AP01 SPM watch a standout: Its dual-time display, a double-repeat timer, a three-channel daily alarm, a flash memory that functions even without power supply, and a shoe impact meter that calculates your cushioning properties. Its endurance is also a cut above the rest, thanks to its 5-bar water resistance and a two-year battery life. Achieve optimum running training with the Asics AP01 SPM Training Watch, the chrono chieftain that’s generous in service and style!

CHRONOCHIEFTAIN

QHow hard should I train during the first quarter of the year? What

should I take into consideration? a. A lot of major races have now shown up very

early in the year in the Philippine calendar. If you

are registered for any of these, then you should

have been training in the last quarter the year

before, so you can easily do the harder/ longer sets

required in the weeks leading up to these events.

b. However, some (including myself) use certain

races as part of their training for something else later

in the year. If you’re doing that, then my advice is:

Don’t burn out in the first quarter and suffer for it the

rest of the season. Build up slowly, and train through

your tune-up races without making a big fuss.

c. Keep in mind though, that although these may be

“just” tune-up races, some of these are long enough

to give you a lot of fatigue, so it’s still wise to take it

easy for a couple of days after. You can schedule this

as your easy week in your training program.

Always use a race checklist. I have a friend

who has hers laminated and always stuck inside her tri-bag.

Bring nutrition and hydration that you are

accustomed to if you are very picky (or if your stomach is) as you cannot ensure these will be available at the race venue.

Find out the weekend timetable from the race

organizers, so that you do not miss any important things such as bike check-in cutoff, race packet pick-up, race briefing, and last but not the least, your wave start.

Book in advance a hotel/ resort, which is in close

proximity to the race venue (as much as your budget can afford

it). There’s nothing like waking up next to the start line.

Traveling with your favorite music, books/

reading material can help while away the long hours of waiting.

Wear compression for travel underneath

comfortable clothing and hydrate well throughout your flight.

NUTRITION & DIETEATING RIGHT > MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BODY > RECIPES > LOADING UP > HYDRATION

WHAT IS FATIGUE?The usual way of identifying

fatigue is through qualitative

measures. It’s as simple as feeling

really tired. Whether you

lacked sleep the night before,

or you feel like you haven’t had

enough rest, fatigue can greatly

affect your performance during

training and racing. Because of

this, it’s important to know if

you’re over-fatigued. More than

just basing tiredness on your

“personal scale,” there’s a way

to find out, quantitatively, what

level of fatigue you are feeling.

Why should you even

quantify fatigue? Knowing

your fatigue levels will help you

decide if you should be training

more, or if you are training

enough, and if you are resting

and recovering well.

THE “QUANTITY” OF FATIGUEIn the absence of high-tech

laboratory tests, there’s a simple

technique you can do at home

using your heart rate monitor,

a device almost all endurance

athletes own.

Identify your resting heart

rate. Your resting heart rate

(also known as the basal heart

rate) is best measured when the

training volume is low (such

as the start of the year), when

there is no lack of sleep and no

additional stress factors. Once

those conditions are satisfied,

the next step is to measure your

resting heart rate first thing

in the morning, before you

jump out of bed on a rest day.

Take note of what the average

value is over a 10-minute period

because you will need this to

be able to identify your fatigue

levels on succeeding days.

On days when you feel more

tired than usual, you can take

your resting heart rate again,

first thing in the morning.

Compare the value of your

basal resting heart rate to the

most recent one. The higher

the difference from your basal

measurement, the higher your

levels of fatigue. Triggers of

fatigue such as overtraining,

undernourishment, lack of sleep,

not recovering enough will

elevate your resting heart rate.

WHY FATIGUE IS A GAME-CHANGERIn every sport, the overall

condition of the athlete is taken

into account to know whether

the athlete performed at his or

her best. Knowing your fatigue

levels will help you adjust

certain aspects of training

to be able to perform better

on training days, and, most

especially on race day. Fatigue

is cumulative. If you don’t adjust

certain aspects then fatigue will

just keep accumulating until one

day, you’re down and you just

don’t know what hit you.

If you can adjust your

sleeping habits or your training

load when your fatigue levels

are high, then you might have

a better race day. However, the

best adjustment you can make

is how you recover. Recovery is

not just about resting, it’s also

about the kind of food you eat

after training sessions. Ask

yourself, are you feeding your

body the right types of food to

be able to recover the best way

possible?

EATING HIGH VALUE NUTRIENTS DURING THE

NEXT 24 HOURSWhen you have heavy training sessions, you

should watch what you eat during the next

24 hours. This starts as soon as you finish your training session.

Make sure you eat high value nutrients to help your body recover from

rigorous training. Eat whole foods, fresh fruits,

raw salads and other food that can contribute

to recovery.

GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP

Sleep is a natural fatigue neutralizer. By making

sure you get enough (each person’s enough is subjective, although 6-8 hours is great) sleep, you help your body recovery

better and faster. Quality REM sleep is also

scientifically proven to help the body heal.

SKIPPING THE JUNK

As much as it is tempting, try your best to avoid eating junk and fast

food when training and racing. These types of food slow down

your recovery process instead of helping your body heal. By choosing to eat the right type of food, you might be able

to race your personal best. Keep that in mind the next time you feel like reaching for a bag of chips or ordering a

burger meal.

QUANTIFYING FATIGUEEVERY ATHLETE HAS EXPERIENCED FATIGUE, BUT HAVE WE EVER ASKED HOW THEY ARRIVED AT THAT CONCLUSION? BY HARVIE DE BARON

Knowing your fatigue levels will

help you decide if you should be training more or if you are

training enough and if you are resting and

recovering enough.

When my husband experiences fatigue or extreme tiredness, he normally talks to me about it. I try to listen and let him express himself [without interrupting / second-guessing him]. After listening to him, I do my best to say encouraging and uplifting things, to allow for positivity to flow into the conversation and general atmosphere. After we talk, I normally take it upon myself to find something he likes that’ll take his mind off the fatigue or extreme tiredness. I’m talking about trivial things, like Kinder Bueno or Ferrero Rocher – his favorite chocolates, and bigger t hings too, like going out for dinner at his favorite Japanese restaurant, or getting massages. As a triathlete’s wife, I believe that it’s my job to keep my husband [motivated and positive] by encouraging him, and it’s not my job to tell him how to train better, or perform better at triathlons. This is why I choose the role of cheerleader, rather than coach.

RECOVERY 101

If you just got bitten by the triathlon bug, then you are likely excited to train every single day. Keep in mind, however, that as you train for 8 to 10 hours or more a week, the issue of recovery becomes ever more important.

FLUSHING THE LEGSA relatively hard bike or run session, like power intervals on the bike trainer or speed work at the track, produces metabolic waste. If not cleared from the legs, it will impede the body’s natural process of recovery and adaptation. The principle behind “flushing the legs” is to move the deoxygenated, low nutrient, stale blood back to the venous system for filtration through the liver and then through the lungs for re-oxygenation. Fresh blood, full of oxygen and nutrients, is returned to the legs, setting up a good physiological environment for muscular rest and repair.

AS YOU INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF YOUR TRAINING SESSIONS, MAKE SURE TO PRACTICE IMPORTANT RECOVERY TECHNIQUES BY SHEM LEONG

+ Prop your legs up against the wall, preferably with your feet at a level above your heart. Lie back and let gravity pull the stale blood out of your legs. This technique works best if you prop your legs up for at least 20 minutes.

+ An ice bath is a great way to refresh your legs after a particularly long and hard session.

Cold water causes the blood vessels to constrict, squeezing the blood out of the limbs back up through the venous system.

+ A good massage also has the same effect as flushing the legs. This can be as simple as a quick five-minute rub down in the shower after training or a 20-minute session on the foam

roller. The gold standard is an hour of sports massage. Apart from flushing the legs, a good massage therapist will knead out all the tight knots and realign your muscles.

+ If you don’t have the luxury of time, then squeeze into a pair of tight, full leg compression garments and get on with your day.

The principle behind “flushing the legs” is to move the deoxygenated, low nutrient, stale blood back to the venous

system for the filtration through the liver and then through the lungs for re-

oxygentaion.

Overcoming Fatigue Together


AAMR. & MRS.

LIFE’S A RACE WITH A COURSE OF HIGHS AND LOWS. DREW AND IYA’S

SEPARATE PATHS ALWAYS LED THEM BACK HOME—TO EACH OTHER.

“I’ve already planned for two races so far: Tri United 1 on March 1 which

I’m very excited and nervous about because it will be my first Olympic

distance and the Ironman 70.3 Vietnam on May 10.”

Hearing this from newbie triathlete Iya Villania Arellano, 28, is like

listening to an elated college freshman talking about all the clubs she’ll be

joining in campus. Iya’s foray into triathlon began after marrying longtime

beau and veteran triathlete Drew Arellano, 34, last January 31, 2014. In

her triathlon debut last November 24, she topped her age group (25-29) at

the Tri United 4 in Pampanga.

Drew was quick to acknowledge Iya’s exhilaration, saying she easily gets

too excited just thinking about the races she has signed up for this 2015.

Drew hopes to complete all four Tri United races. He and Iya will be

competing in the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Vietnam together. The

Challenge Philippines Subic on February 21 will be the opening

salvo on his race calendar.

The couple strictly follows their respective training

programs without being too hard on themselves. They wake

up at 5 a.m. or 6 a.m., do their workouts, and head back

home to have breakfast together.

“We measure our training on a weekly basis. It

depends on our training program. We can do long

rides that can last for six hours. That’s just once or

COVER STORY

twice a week, but still, you know that’s a day that

he might actually be free to be with me,” Iya says,

glancing at Drew teasingly.

Drew describes their first year of marriage.

“From the moment we decided to get married,

I think it’s just uphill from there.” His wife

interrupts saying, “Sabihin mo na how things

couldn’t get any better. ’Yun talaga ang sagot niya.”

Drew, unable to resist his charming wife, adds,

“What we love about getting married, just being

under one roof is we just talk about stuff. I guess

40 percent of the time, we talk about triathlon or

training. It’s funny because she started less than a

year ago.”

With Iya eager to train, waking up early

became easier for Drew, even as they continued

meeting their showbiz commitments. “We’re

lucky to see each other at around 4 p.m. We do

the groceries or anything we didn’t get to do in the

morning,“ says Iya. “Ginigigil na niya ako by that

time,” says Drew. “She says, ‘Ohhh…it’s been so

long…ganu’n.’” The comment lands him a playful

punch in the arm from Iya.

Give and takeDrew acknowledges Iya’s support for his triathlon

training ever since he started in 2007. This made it

easy for Iya to adjust and get into the sport herself.

“It’s important that the triathlete is transparent

and that they share with you their goals. It makes

it easy for me to be giving in time and patience

for what he has to train and because I understand

the load and how important it is,”

says Iya. The end result for her

was that empathizing with

Drew’s needs made her

more curious about

the sport. “I just

wanted to be there

and cheer him on.”

Drew says Iya

is unselfish. “Ever

since he started

[triathlon], I said: ‘If that’s what you want to do,

suportahan kita.’ It’s one of the reasons why we

have a very successful relationship.”

What gave Iya peace of mind is Drew’s constant

assurance that family always comes before

triathlon. “To hear that is comforting for me. I think

that would also give other spouses peace,” she says.

“Make it a personal thing”Before they married, Iya was content

accompanying Drew to trainings and spending

time with the wives of fellow triathletes. They

rode their bikes, but just for leisure. Eventually,

the ladies “created” a mini team of their own

and before they knew it, they we’re looking into

getting into the sport. “Meron na kaming sariling

date,” recalls Iya. “One time, Drew asked, ‘What’s

your plan today?’ and I’m like, ’We have a team

lunch.’ Drew said, ’What? Kailan pa?’”

Iya thinks that getting into the sport to spend

time with a spouse might be thoughtful in the

beginning, but when you take the sport to the next

level, you need to be passionate about triathlon

too. “Don’t get into the sport for each other.

Remember, it has to be a personal thing.”

Drew asserts that if you start training right, it

leads to natural progression of enjoying the sport,

“At the start parang, man, I can’t wake up early but

when you’re out there, you’re out on your bike,

when you breathe in fresh air, you’ll know: This is

the reason why these people are out, training,” he

adds, “it’s a personal decision.”

Drew, the master & mentorSo how does Drew support Iya, who’s getting more

serious with triathlon?

“I don’t ‘baby’ her,” he says.

Iya agrees. “He prepares my bike stuff, he cooks

for me at breakfast after a long training day, but

he doesn’t pressure me. He let’s me do my thing. He

knows when to back off.

“I also don’t expect to be ‘babied’. We have

separate training programs. We have separate

goals to achieve. I can’t expect him to run with me.

Masasayang lang yung program niya if magbabagal

siya just to keep my pace,” Iya adds.

When Drew realized Iya was really serious with

her training, her bike was upgraded to his other

bike, a Hurley. “Meron syang electric gearing at ang

astig niyang tingnan, it was all matte black, parang

lalaki talaga,” says Iya describing her new toy.

But Iya says that just having his husband

around to talk to about training is the biggest

support. “When he shares his knowledge, that

already makes a difference.”

And absence does make the heart grow fonder.

“I’m always excited to travel for my show. My

two days out-of-town for work is healthy for the

relationship. When I’m traveling, I look forward

to going home na. I constantly look forward

to something so it doesn’t compromise our

relationship,” he says.

What’s the power couple’s plan for Valentine’s

Day? Iya and Drew will be assaulting Mt. Pulag for

a Special Valentine episode of “Biyahe ni Drew”.

“We’re gonna make love in the woods,” Iya jokes.

We ask Drew how he becomes a responsible

Ironman without neglecting his woman. “Make

it clear to your partner that triathlon is not the

priority. Discuss your goals and objectives,” he

says. Honesty and communication are key.

Iya nods and he gives her a sweet smile. We

know a message has been delivered.

“Don’t get into the

sport for each other. Remember, it has to be a personal

thing.”

COUPLES IN SPORTSTHESE ATHLETIC COUPLES SHARE HOW THEY SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND HOW THEY RIDE THROUGH THE PEAKS AND LOWS OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

MARIS & JEROME BAUTISTA

Maris says: We never compromise

our quality time together; we make

it a point that we always have time

for each other by traveling after

one of the major races or watching a

movie after a tiring training, trying

and discovering new restaurants

around Metro Manila, or we simply

train together. Also part of our daily

routine is to read a devotional book

for married couples.

Jerome says: Patience and

understanding are the main

ingredients in dealing with a

spouse that you share common

interests with. Even though we

want to train and race as much

as we can, we always put our

relationship first before anything.

If we have plans to train or race, we

include the other in deciding if we

will push through or not, weighing

all the factors especially time

and money. We always remind

ourselves that running will always

be around, but our relationship

is something that needs to be

maintained daily. It’s really just

prioritizing and communicating.

MAT O’HALLORAN

& JOYETTE JOPSON

Mat says: Supporting each other

on race day comes in three forms:

before, during, and after the event.

Before the event, we take a step

back, letting each other go through

their routine while facilitating

pre-race tasks that could be

stressful. During the event, less is

more when it comes to boosting

each other’s morale during tedious

moments. It’s best to plan what

you will cheer and where, in

advance. After the event, we do an

honest debrief of the race, without

over-rationalizating to absorb

the positive and learn from the

negative, so we can do better in the

next event.

Joyette says: Mat supports me by

planning our year based on our

racing season, and then he writes

me weekly training programs.

More than the coaching and

physical presence, I appreciate the

little things like how he makes my

post-workout fresh fruit shakes,

or how he makes us dinner

when he knows I have

a long workout and will

be home late. In return I

do things he’s not very fond of,

like driving and coordinating

with people. I also love cooking

his favorite meals like spam

musubi, chicken curry, spaghetti

with meatballs, lemon pasta,

baked macaroni and cheese, and

chocolate chip cookies.

LAARNI & OMAR PAREDES

We really don’t see leading an active

lifestyle as a challenge; it’s a blessing.

We’ve both been sporty since way

back, and we’ve known each other

since we were kids. Being active is

one of the greatest reasons we got

together in the first place.

Lack of time isn’t much of an

issue since we both understand

how important it is to train.

We’re both Herbalife-sponsored

athletes and with it comes the

responsibility of staying fit. We’re

also co-managing our triathlon

coaching company so we both have

a good grasp of how each other is

spending time or energy.

BELINDA & JUSTIN GRANGER

Belinda says: The best way to support

your partner is to just always be

there when things are good and also

not so good. When you have both

partners doing sport it can be a tricky

balancing act. There are certainly

times when you need to show support

to each other but you’re also tired and

struggling to stay positive yourself…

With both us being into sports the

greatest thing is that we understand

what the other is going through.

When I have a really bad session

Justin understands how I am feeling

and knows just what is needed to

make me feel better again and to see

the bigger picture. With both of us

being athletes, we always know when

to give advice/help and when to just

stay away and give space. Justin and

I have been doing this sport now for

over 20 years so we’ve seen the best

and the worst in each other. We know

what makes each other tick and we

know what it takes to pull each other

out of a bad mood.

Justin says: Belinda and I have

been married for over 15 years. We

spend allot of time together, more

than any couple that I know. Support

comes naturally for us both. We have

realized that, to make the most out of

this beautiful lifestyle, we work as a

team. Doing stuff to help one another

is automatic and not something that

needs to be thought about. Motivation

is key to success as a sports couple

and figuring out when your partner

needs extra help to get out the door

to train, is important. With friends

and relatives you need to find time to

drop your guard and loosen up. This

is easier when you have good friends

and family that know what you’re like

and plan around your time. We are

both doing what we love and sharing

it with your best mate is the best!

PEPPER & COACH ANGELO LOZADA Pepper says: Angelo manages a swim school, teaches swimming as well

as coaches swimmers. The best way I support him is understanding his

kind of work, accepting the demands of his job and helping him out in the

areas where he needs me. With his kind of job, I make sure that I refrain

from adding pressure to his load by tending to kids more. I allow him to

watch TV because that’s the only time he gets to relax. Then we have

regular Friday date nights with a “no-calls” rule. unless it’s really necessary

Saturdays, we go out with our three sons.

Angelo says: Pepper not only teaches Zumba, she also teaches baby swimming and homeschools all our three

boys. The best way I support her is to be sensitive with what she needs. I am the no.1 fan whenever she does

her Zumba events. I am also doing my best to be an intentional father to my sons. With all the activities she is

doing, I make it a point to listen to her whenever she vents off steam from stress. Try to solve the problems she is

encountering whenever she asks for it.

The staggered side plank is a good anti-lateral flexion exercise. Because the feet are separated from each other, it promotes a wider base of support, making the exercise easier. Moving forward, we’ll show you how and why the stacked side plank can improve running efficiency. By keeping your feet together, you narrow your base of support. This makes your body unstable, further challenging your core. This exercise is not only an anti-flexion exercise, it is also an anti-rotation exercise. In running, there is an acceptable trunk rotation of around 5 to 8 degrees. Going more than that results in unnecessary body movements, wasting energy and reducing efficiency. The purpose of proper arm swing in running is to counteract the movement of your legs and also decrease trunk rotation.

PRO ATHLETES TROOP TO THE PHILIPPINES FOR A CHALLENGING XTERRA ALBAY EXPERIENCE

After four years in Liloan, Cebu, the Philippine

edition of the world’s premier off-road triathlon

event, XTERRA moves to its new venue in the Bicol

Region’s province of Albay.

Now dubbed as XTERRA Albay, the race will

provide participants a perfect countryside off-road

experience. The race course will be in the 6km

perimeter exclusion zone of the majestic and active

Reigning XTERRA Philippines 2014 Female PRO Champ Renata Bucher will see action in XTERRA Albay.

Female Champion is a strong contender to

the 2015 XTERRA Albay Female PRO crown.

Mayon Volcano. It starts with the swim in the

shores of Lidong in Mayon Riviera where the open

water is calm and deep and the beach with black

sands. The bike course will have wide and open

trails and will provide a scenic view of Mayon and

Legazpi, Albay while passing through fire roads,

grass lands, sand and rocky trails. The run course

will follow the ATV route in Mayon characterized

by varied terrains such as rocky and sandy areas,

river beds and grass lands.

“We decided to go to Albay because the area,

backdrop of the province is in-line with our

objective of sports tourism as a company and

add to that the generous support of the province

through its governor, Gov. Joey Salceda.”, says Mr.

Fred Uytengsu, President of Sunrise Events Inc., the

organization behind XTERRA Philippines.

Seemingly owing to the promise of a perfect

off-road racing experience and a challenging race

course, this year’s event had attracted the most

number of PROs from different parts of the world.

Fifteen male and female PROs from ten countries

will make up this year’s PRO field, the most this

event ever had since its inception in 2011.

With the retirement of last year’s Male PRO

Champion, Dan Hugo, from professional racing,

the male PRO crown will be up for grabs this year.

Leading the contenders will be last year’s runner

up, Bradley Weiss and third placer, Ben Allen.

Worth of noting though will be the participation

of XTERRA Protégé and newly-turned PRO,

19-year old Mauricio Mendez. Mauricio, in his

first year as a PRO, placed 5th overall at last year’s

XTERRA World Championship. He will be the

youngest PRO contender at the XTERRA Albay.

Asked on whether this will

be his foremost advantage

over the others, he replies

“What I see in my age,

talking about advantage, is

that I have a little bit more

time for learning than

most of the other athletes,

having these experiences

at this age is something

invaluable from my point

of view and here is where I

want to have all my focus,

so I can grow as an athlete

and as a person.”

Meanwhile, Renata

Bucher, last year’s Female

PRO Champion will be

back to defend her title this year - “The Xterra

Philippines title 2014 was one of my top highlights

of the season. I did not expect to win it at all. The

heat was a huge impact of the race. I passed the

leader of the race 200m before the finish line, and I

will never forget that moment.”

Admittedly not one who raced well with

pressure, this Swiss Miss vowed to leave all the

pressure at home. “My goal is not to come to the

Philippines to win the race, it never was. I love the

sport, and I love to explore new places.” She adds,

“I want to learn more about Albay and the history

of it. Also I want to see the volcano and many of

the smiling kids’ faces. In my memories of the last

year’s racing in the Philippines, it was all about the

big smile of the people.”

Reigning XTERRA World Female PRO

Champion, Flora Duffy, will also be part of the

deep strong PRO field in XTERRA Albay. “I am

really excited to open my 2015 season at Xterra

Albay. I have heard such great things about the

race from fellow PROs on the circuit, that I had to

come see for myself. Even more exciting is the new

race venue, which I hear involves a volcano! This

past summer, I had the pleasure of meeting Fred

(Uytengsu) while he was visiting South Africa.

His for passion for triathlon and desire to grow

XTERRA within the Philippines also influenced

my decision.”

A strong contender to the Female PRO crown,

Flora humbly says “Winning in Maui last year

really boosted my confidence, as did winning the

US Xterra series. That, however does not mean I

have an advantage over the other women in the

race. They all will have prepared equally as well

and will be racing for the win too. I’m still very

new to XTERRA and have only raced one full

season (2014) so even though I achieved a lot in

that one year, I have still only done a handful of

races and lack experience.”

The XTERRA

Albay Off-Road Triathlon

Series is indeed the

perfect setting for the

opening of the 2015

XTERRA Season and

this will be the case for

the next three years.

“We signed with Albay

for it to be XTERRA

Philippines’ official

home for three years.

Triathletes should expect

to have lots of fun and

a wonderful experience

on the challenging race

course and this year, the

excitement of being able

to race with XTERRA World Champ Flora Duffy

and upcoming XTERRA Superstar Mauricio

Mendez.”

THE BULL RUNNER DREAM ULAH MARATHON 2015 FEBRUARY 22, 2015 NUVALI, STA. ROSA, LAGUNA

Now on its fifth year, The Bull Runner Dream ULAH Marathon, the first and only marathon in the world that caters exclusively to first and second-time marathon runners, will once again fulfill many rookie long-distance runners’ dreams of finishing a 42K run. This inspiring breakthrough in the marathon realm was founded by the Community Editor of Endurance Sports and The Bull Runner, herself, Jaymie Pizarro and Jim Lafferty, retired Procter and Gamble general manager. Around 900 runners are expected to converge in Nuvali at 1 a.m. of February 22 and begin the race an hour after. Fresh air and scenic views of Mt. Makiling, Laguna de Bay, and Tagaytay Ridge along the race route await them. But the best part of the route is the finish line, where supportive family members and friends await them with open arms. Ernest Carual, one of those dreamers who is determined to shed sweat, toil, and even tears just to reach that much-coveted 42K finish line, puts his two cents on why he decided to join the race and the good things he’s already gaining from it even prior to the big day.

Why did you join The Bull Runner (TBR) ULAH Dream Marathon?Ever since we started running last July 2013 (Milo Marathon was our first run. I ran 10k and Che ran 5k.) we have included TBR marathon in our bucket list of races. We really like to experience running in TBR.

What’s the difference you’ve experienced since you joined the Day 1 of the Bull Sessions and now?We learned the use of interval timers for pacing and its benefits. We never knew about this until attending the sessions. This pacing made us preserve our energy and endure longer distances. We now know about proper nutrition and recovery foods; also gait analysis for choosing the right running shoes, and a whole lot more. TBR is not merely for new runners but also for those who want to improve their knowledge in running.

How has the TBR ULAH Dream Marathon changed your life so far?TBR gave us a new perspective on running. We are now aware of a lot of things especially on

NAME: Ernest Froilan C. CarualAGE: 36PROFESSION: Associate ManagerWIFE’S NAME: Cherrielyn CaponponWIFE’S AGE: 34WIFE’S PROFESSION: Team Lead

how to prepare for races. We know better now on what are DOs and DONTs before, during and after an event and that we can share these to our friends who would like to start running. Here is a list of the particular things I learned from TBR, so far, that might also be helpful to beginner runners out there:1. The importance of stretching before and after a race.2. When is the best time to eat (and eating the right food) before the race. We learned that an average human can completely digest a food in 3 hours.

During the race eat something that can easily be digested and so your body can use it right away. Carbo load at least 3 days before race day.3. Strengthening is not enough, speed training is also needed.4. Shoe laces should not be too tight as your feet will surely expand during the race.5. The best time to buy a pair of running shoes is in the afternoon as your feet are already expanded. Wear the socks that you would wear on race day when trying out a new shoe.6. Never try anything new on race day that includes everything from power gels, shirts, shorts, visor, socks and shoes etc.7. Tapering at least 2 to 3 weeks before the race day.8. Run/Walk time interval pacing really helped in preserving energy and finishing strong. For more information, visit www.tbrdream.com.

Multiple World Champion Chris “Macca” McCormack will lead a fast and competitive Pro field who will compete in the YellowCab Challenge Philippines this 21st of February 2015. The presence of Challenge Atlantic City winner Fredrik Croneborg (SWE) and the inaugural Challenge Philippines 2nd place finisher Michael Murphy (AUS) will surely ratchet up the competition. With the tough and hilly bike course, expect a charge in the hills by strong cyclists like former cycling Pro Domenico Passuello (ITA). He will be playing darkhorse and is coming off a great season winning 2014 Challenge Rimini and Challenge Sardinia. Completing the lineup will be Brian Fleischmann (USA), 2013 Challenge Laguna Phuket winner Rasmus Petraeus (DEN), Eric Watson (AUS) and Austrian upstart Christoph Schlagbauer (AUT), who will be racing for the first time in the Philippines. Heading the world class women’s Pro field and racing in her first Challenge race will be Kelly Williamson, who just had an impressive 2014 season which was highlighted by her win in Ironman Texas. Lining up with Williamson will be 2014 Challenge Batemans Bay and IM 70.3 St. Croix winner Radka Vodickova (CZE), uber cyclist and Olympic medalist Emma Pooley (GBR), who placed 3rd in last year’s event. Likely to surprise will be Parys

Edwards (GBR), who was winner in 2013 ITU World Championships in London.

WEEK AT A GLANCE

MESSAGE FROM ALBAY GOVERNOR

JOEY SARTE SALCEDA

Man’s eternal pursuit of excellence has pushed us to participate in competitive activities since the beginning of time. And there are two reasons why we compete: for mastery and for performance. The former is for glory, for recognition, and for the satisfaction of proving that we are best in our class. The latter is for improving our skills, for attaining a self-imposed goal and for gaining mastery of a certain task. These goals could be both or singly pursued. These goals must be high in the minds of the organizers of the early races that started the classic Marathon in the Olympics. Over the years, other race formats were devised to include various competencies related to speed and stamina. Thus, in 1996 a race that included the ability to swim an open ocean, ride a bike and run a trail was organized in Maui, Hawaii. It was the race that would later become a world racing event called XTERRA. The race has been held several times in the Philippines. I am very happy that in 2015 it has finally come to the province of Albay. Our province has three features that are hard to find in any other place. First, the Bikol Region, being an archipelago, is surrounded by an open ocean, the Pacific, the waves of which are of varying roughness in different times of the year. Second, the terrain is truly intimidating as it starts from sandy shores to undulating hillsides, then up and down the crests and valleys of Mayon, a live and very active volcano with its ever freshly laid lava trail. Third, the finish line inside the Cagsawa Ruins Heritage Park offers a majestic view of the perfect-coned volcano as well as the ruins of a town that for over two centuries has become the symbol of man’s resilience to the forces of nature! The venue, which happens to be between the open sea and the volcano, is almost similar to the birthplace of the event and more! In Albay, the beautiful volcano and the heritage park provide the XTERRA Off-Road Triathlon Race with outstanding values that are truly universal. The Albayanos are a warm, hospitable and fun-loving people. I am sure that they will be supportive of this event and would be there to keep the participants and spectators safe and happy. I thank the organizers for choosing Albay as the XTERRA venue for the next three years. Please be assured of the continued support of the Provincial Government of Albay. May the fittest, the strongest and the fastest win!
