Boost Manila: adidas Hosts the First and Biggest Running Community Meet in the Country
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 22nd, 2016
A few days ago, someone asked me what keeps me motivated to run. While a lot of runners have their BIG and inspiring reasons, I really just started running because I was somehow forced to. What kept me running on the other hand was the knowledge that I wanted to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I won’t deny that there were many times that I just didn’t want to get up at 3am to run, however, knowing that my friends were waiting for me gave me tha...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Metabeats: A Fitness and Wellness Nutrition Show with Coaches Jim and Toni Saret
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 15th, 2016
Everyone wants to be fit and healthy, but not everyone is willing to spend hours in the gym (and another hour stuck in traffic) just to achieve that. Moreover, with all the new techniques shared online, it’s not that difficult to come up with our own set of exercises at home. Though there are a lot of excellent gyms out there, not having the time or money to enroll in one does not give you an excuse to stop working out. As they say in Filipino,...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Newton V: The Shoe That Changed Everything Just Got Better
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 14th, 2016
When thinking about running, one of the first things we need to consider is our running shoe. There are several excellent brands out there, but not all will be the perfect fit for you. One of the leading running shoe brands is Newton. The name was derived from Sir Isaac Newton and his 3rd law of motion which states that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” The Newton brand lives by this motto, making sure that they a...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

I know a lot of strong and empowering women in the Philippines, not just in the sporting industry but across all walks of life. If you’re reading this article right now, I’m pretty sure you’re a runner or such. However, did you know that the World Health Organization conducted a study back in 2010 that says more women in the Philippines are considered inactive? The study shares that whether in occupational, non-occupational, or leisure-rela...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

From Ice Vendor to Renowned Triathlete: Meet August Benedicto
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 21st, 2015
Coming from a low income family, August had to work hard to be able to support his daily needs. He starts selling ice from the moment he wakes up; after which he would go to school to make sure he has a brighter tomorrow. Most people would say how this lifestyle would keep them too busy to run, not for August. August would make sure to wake up earlier to be able to squeeze in a short run at midnight. He eventually joined a 21k run and won!...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 15th, 2015
When TV comedian and host Bearwin Meiley decided to turn over a new leaf and start living a healthier lifestyle, running became one of his go-to sports. Bearwin Meily of RUNtarantantan first made his mark in the running community through his running shirts!
