Day 40 and 41 of Training

40 (June 30).....It was a holiday here in the Philippines ( inauguration of our country's 15th president, Benigno Aquino III ). So we decided to go for biking (in a folding bike) to Lilo-an, a municipality located 17 miles north of Cebu City.

We started pedaling at 12:03pm (what a time of the day) and reach our point at 1:22pm....Then rest for a while before we went swimming.

This is one of our planned activity (cross train) aside from running.....

We opted for Lilo-an for some reasons:
1.) Not that far away but enough to give your lower body a fine tuning for the coming race day.
2.) We want to visit my father's relatives.
3.) Last but not the least....SWIMMING.

Note: Biking and Swimming were our official cross training sessions (I believe other runners too).

41 (July 1).....We now gradually add up our running time...This time we run for 40 minutes and starting to focus on pacing, stride length and stride frequency.... I've read from the site of Baldrunner (www.baldrunner.com) about stride length and stride frequency. From the start I tried to apply what I've learned but eventually slowly losing it as the run goes on...

But nevertheless I'm proud about what I've learned and experienced at that moment..It wasn't indeed an easy task...Just like what Baldrunner posted in his site that it requires patience, hardwork and determination for you to improve on your RUNNING....
