Yesterday I attended the 2nd session of Mizuno Run Club headed by Coach Miguel “Ige” Lopez. We started with a warm-up run of 2 loops around BHS, that’s around 2.4 km followed by a short 2 minute break.
Drills followed and as expected, Coach Ige introduced some new drills. It gets tougher as the session progresses and my aim is to learn from these drills and incorporate some on my own drill exercises. See pics below:
- See the kid in Milo singlet? He’s probably just 8 or 9 years old. Future elite runner!
- We’re taking drills seriously
After the drills, we proceed with the run. The plan was to run around the BHS loop twice followed by a 2 minute rest, another run around the loop, 2 minute rest, run 1 side of the loop, 2 minute rest followed by run of 1/2 side of the loop then rest. The goal is as the distance gets shorter, we should run a lot faster. However, I noticed that only few actually followed the plan 
By the way, I was able to use Mizuno Wave Inspire 4. A review will come on next week.
We did a short break and then followed by some stretching exercises to relieve our tired muscles.
- Spine-breaking stretching exercise for your soul
- Coach Ige (center in blue singlet) keeps on adding new stretching exercise every session
- Screw it I’m tired. I’m just going to watch and learn
- Takbo.ph gang
- The Author and Mizuno Marketing Officer Ms. Jai Cortes
Next week, there will be another time trial, this time 5km. I placed 6th place on the first 3km time trial out of 60+ participants. I hope to stay within top 5 this time.
Cheers and see you guys on next Mizuno Run Clinic!
