UNFINISHED BUSINESS

I don’t care if people think Pacman shouldn’t have won. He was never knocked out and Marquez did during the 3rd round…. Although Marquez has improved soooo much especially on all his counter punches. I’m just glad that Pacman can provide solid left and right hooks!

Easy run

Went to Slimmer's World today around 10am and saw an old friend Levi. He used to be big but now he is bigger, so I asked him why- he said he quit smoking and will be married by December so he wanted to lose weight. I had so much things i n my head, i just wanted to run to th treadmill and not listen to a thing he was telling me. I also wondered how my dad took seeing my mom as I was th one who dropped her off today befor proceeding to the gym. So I ran an easy one around 6.9 to 7.7 km per hour for 50 minutes. I finished around 6.6 km excluding the warm up and cool down. After the gym, took a shower and went to work though I was on leave because my cluster will have a picture taking for our tarpouline. When I got to work, I opened my lotus and it had like a fucking 700 unread messages. Grrrrrrrr. Answered important ones, had that pic and went to the hospital.
I only ate chicken garden salad with honey mustard sauce. Thats what I ate the whole day. All I did was drink iced tea and water!!!!

Takboholic to do long trail run on Sunday

Takboholic - "takbo"- tagalog word for "run" and "holic" - term used for addiction...

Tomorrow, I come back from a long weekend with VL and face work :-(

Yep, I am a Takboholic... On Sunday, I plan to have a long trail run around 21km in Batangas... Hopefully, it will become an adventure run and then we can go have a swim at the nearest beach!!!!

Difference of Running on a Treadmill vs Track

Yes, there is a definite difference between the two, with pros and cons to each. The main benefit of running on the treadmill is that you don’t have to contend with the hazards of British weather like wind and rain. The surface of a treadmill is cushioned for impact, which helps prevent the joint and muscle strains that are associated with running on concrete. Another factor is the motivational benefits of treadmills – you can go up and down hills and move at different speeds – all you have to do is set the course and follow it. And because it’s usually difficult to find a running route where the terrain is as diverse, a treadmill can offer you the variety that running outside cannot.

The drawback of the treadmill is it forces you into a four-foot-wide running frame, which limits your body’s range of movement. When you run outside, your muscles and joints move around more due to uneven ground, corners, obstacles, wind resistance and your body’s natural efforts to balance itself – this all helps the body to burn more calories than it would on a treadmill. Moving within a treadmill’s restricted space can constrain your body – limiting the natural range in your running gait. This can cause your muscles to tighten up and cause back, hip and knee problems in the long term.

Therefore, if you run long distances (over 5 miles), or are training for a race, you are better off running in a park or on a soft surface (like grass, gravel or tarmac). Ultimately, it will be safer for your body as it can move more naturally than it would on a treadmill.

But, if you use a treadmill as part of your cardio workout, it is not advisable to run more than 30 minutes at any given time. If you don’t feel you are getting enough of a workout, it is better to increase the intensity by adding an incline or doing interval training. You should also try to alternate running with other cardio exercises, such as rowing or biking, as well as weight training.

As far as burning calories is concerned, you don’t need to spend a long time on any cardio machine to reap the maximum benefits. If you increase the intensity of your workout through interval training and vary it through circuit training, you will ultimately burn more calories than running for long periods of time, whether on the treadmill or outdoors. Finally, don’t forget to stretch after running, particularly if you’ve been using the treadmill.

Ten Reasons to Run

There are hundreds of good reasons for running, many of which are probably personal to your own circumstances. Here are 10 of the best

1. Running is the most efficient path to cardiovascular fitness. Thirty minutes a day, four days a week will yield an excellent level of fitness in the shortest possible time.

2. Running is great for your heart. After a few months of running, your heart's walls thicken and the ventricles (internal chambers) increase in size. As a result, more blood is sent to your lungs with each heartbeat, and your resting pulse can decline by 20 per cent or more. What's more, if you run for 145 minutes per week, you are on average 40 per cent less likely to have a heart attack.

3. Running is inexpensive and simple to learn. Other than decent shoes and basic clothing, all you need to run is enthusiasm. Everyone knows how to run and information on training is widely available.

4. Running is the best method of stress reduction around. Thirty minutes of running will work wonders in dissolving stress accumulated at work.

5. Running is accessible to everyone. No matter where you live or travel, an excellent area for running is almost always close by.

6. Running is an excellent component of any weight-control programme. Few activities burn calories more quickly.

7. Running is a flexible method of training. You can run at your own pace, with or without company, at whatever time of day suits you.

8. Running makes you feel good. Your fitness, self-esteem and confidence will all increase with a regular running programme.

9. Running offers a unique opportunity for recreational runners to mix with world-class athletes. You can't play in the FA Cup final or a test match, but on almost every weekend, runners compete in the very same events as the fastest human beings on the planet. The Flora London Marathon remains one of the country's premier sports events.

10. Running is for families and individuals of all ages. There are running programmes for children and over-40s, and most races have events that are geared towards families.
