joined the 1st session of the 3rd mizuno run club last night at bonifacio high street and, i must say, it's a fun way to improve your running skills while getting free drinks & other cool freebies.
the club is actually a 12-session training clinic to be held every thursday starting last night (sept. 10) from 7-8:30pm, with the meeting point in front of the mizuno store at bhs. i saw between 30-40 participants there, and i heard it was probably the biggest mizuno group to date.
we started with a 2-round warmup around bhs, which is about 2.5km (others can run around the short loop if they want to, which goes around the street that divides bhs, for a total of 1.7km). did 6 or 7 different kinds of drills, with the 'genuflect' kind of drill really killing my thigh muscles. :P afterwards, time trial for 3 loops around bhs again, followed by a 1-loop cooldown. that's 7.5km total for me! :D
WARMUP = 1.25km
DRILLS
TIME TRIAL = 3.75km @ 5:51/km
COOLDOWN = 1.25km
STRETCHING
by the way, it's not exclusive for mizuno runners. non-mizuno shoe owners can also join, but the only catch is that they don't get the extra gatorade after the session & the coupon with exciting freebies.
here's the coupon with the 1st visit validated for the 15% discount. check out the other freebies on succeeding sessions! :D
with this, i might get myself a new pair of mizuno's soon! :) woohoo! still torn between the wave creation 10 & wave rider 12 though, but i'll figure it out. my current pair is a wave creation 8 that has given me pain-free running.
if you weren't able to join last night, you can still go there next thursday!

actually, feeling ko the reason why this group had a bigger attendance than the previous one was that, they were not as "strict" as they were before with regards to the shoes eh. being a member of the second batch (repeater ba? hahaha) the organizer this time was not that strict nga :) the number of attendees din naman would usually dwindle down as the session gets harder and harder :)
actually, the drills we did last thursday, was just the easy part :) more harder and more fun things to come! :)
see you around new classmate! ehehehe :)
those are interesting insights, timmy. :)
i myself won't be able to attend all sessions due to work travel in the coming weeks, but i wanna get that singlet at the last session! :D
bangis ni timmy! see yeah classmates! un lang hindi mizuno ang shoes ko...
Uy, graduate ka na Timmy ah! Congrats on your first Mizuno clinic man Bry, you should learn a lot out of it. Nag improve si Timmy jan during its previous installment.
goodluck sa atin classmate...sana nagsisinungaling si tim re the coming sessions =P
Yeah, they were very strict last time. The one who managed it was super strict that at some point in time one runner, a friend of mine, almost didn't want to finish. Expect more drills to come!
hey, roselle! :) first-timers like myself should be fortunate then.
as for the drills, i'll expect the worst in the coming sessions. :P thanks for the warning!
