    The North Face 100 PH 2016: The Tough 11k Trail Run

    Never underestimate the distance. That’s one of the few lessons I learned running the 11k trail run at the recently held The North Face 100 PH in Benguet. After running the 12k trail at the Salomon Xtrail in Subic a couple of weeks before, I thought it would be easier for me to get a…

    Running | Energen Healthy Run 2014 (Manila Leg)
