Sunnies Run 2026

I know I should’ve been resting, but there was no way I was missing another Sunnies Run! Thank you and congratulations @sunniesstudios. That was fun!

The 10k was the perfect distance post-Berlin. Felt good before the race and turned the fun run in a diagnostic one (pero still fun!)

Won’t go into too much detail because it’s FINALLY time to hibernate and recover. banjing banjing na talaga!!!

New @strava overlays are great. Now we just need splits for laps/interval times 👀

Can’t believe the Ayala Triangle course ft. the now infamous Buendia Bridge incline is growing on me

Already know the post-race pink towel + @sunniesflask will be staples in future workouts by @luisdegu

2026 BMW-BERLIN MARATHON

You race how you train!

The goal was simple: finish strong and happy. That’s exactly what was accomplished.

Ty ty @ezendurance, for guiding me through the year despite all the complaints of “niggles”, and random minor injuries that felt like the end of the world. It must’ve been a pain planning a training block for someone who wants to do so much on top of a job that requires constant movement. Recovery on my end was definitely lacking.

I learned so much from this block/year, and I’ll be applying those lessons soon. 😈

Also grateful I got to spend another marathon with my family, a year after Chicago. And this time, there were no mistakes on the documentation. Progress!! 🫡

I do have to remind myself that progress isn’t linear. We’ll get that PR and the perfect training block on the next attempts kasi marami rami pa yun. (Please send me diff ways to try and get bibs. I WILL KEEP TRYING)

For now, I’ll enjoy the win(s), ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a couple of months without LONG long runs on Sundays. banjing banjing muna!

The quest continues!

Not mother dearest with the @roshanthebully sign for a power boost

Second time to see the family on the course

Good call to go with the orange para sulit marathon photos 🫡 ty ty @trixi.ruiz 🤗

Final push

Near impossible to get a decent post run medal photo

Chicago Marathon 2025 recap

The good, the bad and the (very?) ugly. Gonna be fun looking back at this in a year

Whole @chimarathon experience was a 10/10. Unfortunately, the struggle was just as perfect… gave it my all but fell short of the A & B goals and had to “settle” for C

Not disappointed though since I am capping off the 2025 “season” (feeling eh no) with 3/7 @wmmajors stars, a sub 4 hr marathon and a PR

Thanks to everyone who wished me luck and “happy run ü” this year. Even the ones who called me baliw, I appreciate you too haha Ty ty to @ezendurance for all the guidance and training that led me to accumulate mileage that can rival that of a car so I can perform well in all events

Off season break/next season prep has begun! 2026 gonna be güd taken in Chicago, Illinois by @luisdegu

TCS Sydney Marathon 2025 commentary no one asked for

“Enjoy the course, soak up the crowd and take lots of pictures & videos” were the instructions of coach @ezendurance prior to the race so I went and did exactly that… and then some

“Disaster” struck when my headphones bonked out before even crossing the START line and I realized I had to, as the kids would call it, raw dog the full 42 km. With no music to distract myself with, adjustments had to be made and taking videos every 5 km or so became the perfect alternative

It really wasn’t hard to enjoy the course (kahit daming reklamo) thanks to the energy of the crowd and fellow runners. Lamig na lamig as a lamigin but it truly was the perfect day to explore Sydney by foot and I’m grateful to have been a part of the city’s first marathon as a world major @sydney_marathon

Finally got that second ⭐️ and hoping to ace the third in a few weeks! Hips didn’t die, already somewhat recovered and ready to get back to work for ONE FINAL PUSH! See you soon, final boss/second phase @chimarathon 🫡 by @luisdegu

First ~official~ run of the year and it was the dreaded 5k (no sarcasm)

Wanted to rebuild 5k fitness because I lost most of it due to nagging injuries the past year and wanted to get some of it back as a birthday gift to self

No PRs broken and still long way to go but celebrating because while I finished in a lot of pain, there were no injuries before/during/after the run

Anyway yun lang, that’s the win. Wala muna 5k till next year. IT HURTS. Onto a different kind of hurt! Berlin Marathon training starts now @ezendurance 🫡 by @luisdegu

HYROX Osaka 2026
Men’s doubles w @nigelparas 1:20:14
Men’s solo 1:25:52 (adjusted after a wallball station delay)

The struggle was real. Sleds cooperated one day, destroyed me on the other and it was all downhill from there. Time skip arc wasn’t very anime-like, no training and all recovery + eating. Knew the lack of race fitness would be too much for injury-free legs to make up for but still hoped the best haha

Gonna have another go in few months, won’t be wasting the training arc this time around. Sweat and tears will be shed because if you ain’t crying you ain’t trying!!! See ü in HK, Cryrox!

In the meantime, join me and my doubles partner’s @flyweight.ph boxing classes!!! ^shameless plug taken in Osaka, Japan by @luisdegu

Marathon training is ramping up, speed runs are getting harder and long ones feel like an eternity. “Time on feet” is the goal this late in the game. The stability & comfort the Structure 26s provide has been a game changer especially with my history of shin splints. No more uneasy strides so I can confidently keep my easy runs ~truly~ easy again. These couldn’t have come at a better time #TeamNike #Structure26

HYROX HK 2025: mixed doubles recap

“Historians will ask “Where were you when Andi Del Rosario made that last wall ball?”” @elovvargas

Told myself this would be a fun little challenge after the solo but ate my words only 2/8 stations in when it quickly became the boss fight. The gun start time gods didn’t do me any favors when I didn’t get enough time to recover between races

Thank you na lang talaga sa mixed doubles partner ko… not because we had the strength & endurance to get the best time but because we had been so beaten up we had to rely on grit to finish the race… which gave everyone the ~best~ time

Fueled by @gatoradeph powdered electrolyte drink (pwede na magbaon!), an oreo and 4 pcs of the world’s best olives @barleonehk , we made it through thanks to the real mvps of team Cryrox and absolute cinema that is the wall ball station

The sherpa inside joke has been overplayed at this point but photos show that @andreaadelro did a lot of carrying especially when my legs were at 1 HP. Team work really does make the dream work!!! Ang saya, ang galing. We asked you to give 100% and you gave twice that! Pahinga na, laban ulit next year 🤝🏽 by @luisdegu

(Nope I didn’t join Hyrox but I have an entry! 😂)

When I started paying attention to my mental health almost five years ago, working out slowly became a big part of my daily routine. I didn’t expect much from it—just figured getting stronger was a nice bonus while trying to be a better, kinder person to myself and others.

What I didn’t see coming was that fitness would basically introduce me into a whole new environment filled with hilarious, slightly unhinged sports lovers who made space for me (with lotsa sweat).

Now I’ve got this silly, chaotic little community that not only uplifts, but also challenges (enables?) one another, me included, to chase the big, scary, exciting stuff—with so much laughs along the way.

While I work towards all my career and life goals, there are one too many side quests coming my way alongside my friends. 2026 feels like forever away, but look at us already planning like it’s tomorrow (hi @barremzzy!)—funny how 2025 is practically over without us even realizing it 😅

Proud of my hybrid rockstar friends for seeing it through & making it out alive! 🙌🏻 (Is Cryrox a legit group name now?? cc @luisdegu @raffy_raralio hahaha)

HYROX Hong Kong 2025: solo recap

The first side quest was nice, had to do it twice (and won’t be the last) — wanted to push more knowing what to expect but races never truly go according to plan. After painful mid-race adjustments were made, managed to finish with an official time of 1:22:35 (ty wall ball delay) which is 7 minute improvement but unfortunately not the goal

Mini objectives within the race included maintaining hard effort (which I failed at) and no run segment below 6:00/km (success!!)

The BEST part about the whole race was having a support group (CRYROX!!!) to keep things silly when the struggle got very real. Loved watching my fellow solo levelers @nigelparas @elovvargas @gab.delro & @raffy_raralio kill it on the floor before me! A wiseman once said “it is a team sport even when you’re doing the solos” and the spectator team @wilburyoung @anjmyoung @daniellamercado @bobecarma.v @kimweeebol_ @mbm_0707 @zachggarcia @andreaadelro (mamaya ka na) truly made it feel that way

Can’t wait for the next one but the attention shifts back to the main quests @sydney_marathon & @chimarathon ! It’s been fun @hyroxhk see you in 2026 ✌🏾 by @luisdegu
