We’re in the golden era of endurance sports. The only thing missing in our country is a sports performance training center dedicated to swimming, biking, and running. The wait is over because the Tri Temple—a place to do scientific training methods in a controlled

environment, and our cover story this month— is here. It features the country’s first Swim Lab where newbies and veteran swimmers can have video analysis of their swim stroke. Cyclists seeking to up their game can take advantage of a power-based cycling studio called the Power Lab. Runners will benefit from the lactate-threshold testing by a resident expert who can provide your running zones for optimal performance. This place is truly a one-of-a-kind passion project. We also talk about maximizing recovery with the right carbohydrates and protein to prepare us for the next training session. Check out our cool road-test reviews in our mountain bike feature, and what was hot at the PhilBike Expo in this loaded issue. Hope to see you all at the Tri Temple next time!

By the time you read this, I hope I will have crossed the finish line of my 14th 42-K, the Osaka Marathon on October 25. Whether it’s the first or the fourteenth, I get the same lump in my throat and the butterflies in my tummy when I think about race day. But,

through the years, I do get wiser in training. I do believe in cross training for marathon training such as swim, bike, yoga, and strength conditioning. Saul Sibayan shows us a variety of workouts that effectively strengthen and tone our muscles. Coach Anton Sietereales III gives his expert advice on CrossFit, and our gear guide points you in the direction of the right CrossFit gear and equipment to further improve your performance. Diet is important for marathon training. For a month now, I’ve cut processed foods, high sodium, and artificial sugar out of my diet and loaded up on the good stuff like veggies and fruits. In other words, I’m eating clean just as my sports nutritionist, Harvie Baron, three years ago ordered. In this issue, he explains why he doesn’t recommend the Paleo diet for triathletes, so listen up, guys. Wishing you the best of luck in training and on race day!

IS THE PAIN WORTH THE GAIN?THE POWER AND SPEED PROMISED BY CROSSFIT TRAINING APPEALS TO ENDURANCE ATHLETES. HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS INTENSE WORKOUT. BY COACH ANTONIO SIETEREALES III

rossFit Endurance, a program tailored for triathletes and endurance athletes,

improves the body’s power and speed by varying stimulus that requires your body to work at maximum capacity. With careful planning, our strength and conditioning plan increases power and speed—these two mainstays of performance —while decreasing recovery time, reducing injury, promoting preservation of lean tissue, and creating a more sustainable performance curve. Before getting into CrossFit training, it’s best to know the following gains and downsides:

Pros• Improve Strength. Deadlifts, squats, and other endurance-applicable lifts that focus on core strength are beneficial to triathlon. Your core provides the foundation when you push, pull, and lean when running, riding and swimming. • Increase anaerobic capacity. Increased core and upper body strength from lifting,

and combined with the high-intensity metabolic conditioning can improve performance. Studies in the Journal of Applied Physiology show that explosive-strength training improves 5-km running time by improving running economy and muscle power.• Improve Mobility. CrossFit makes you more aware of your body. You’ll be much more conscious of what parts of your body are tight and you’ll know how to fix it.

Cons• Overtraining. Endurance athletes have a tendency to overtrain. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way (getting injured, falling ill) before we realize that resting is part of the program and will make us a better athlete.• Lack of knowledge and experience. Repeated movements by less-skilled athletes can lead to injury without supervision of an experienced coach . A good coach can help you improve faster and reduce the risk of

injuries by keeping an eye on your form and technique. An astute coach should/can recognize when you need to scale back or ramp up weights or movements and can show you how to properly execute the movement.

For what type/age of athletes/triathletes is this kind of training recommended? Everyone. Adults, teenagers; parents, students; professional athletes, weekend warriors—can benefit from CrossFit to advance their core strength and conditioning. If the methodology of CrossFit works for fighters, the overweight, and sedentary then it will work for you. CrossFit Endurance is a program for endurance athletes who want to improve performance and attain faster recovery in shorter time by eliminating unnecessary volume of training while increasing intensity with proper supervision.

Explosive-strength training improves 5-km running time by improving running economy and muscle power. FEEL FIT, FAST,

AND FLEXIBLE!Inov-8, the footwear brand that’s designed to celebrate the grit and glory of the committed athlete, brings out its lightest, most flexible innovation ever in weightlifting with the Fastlift™ 325.

CURBING THE CARBS: A GOOD IDEA OR NOT?WHY THE PALEO DIET MAY NOT WORK FOR ENDURANCE ATHLETES. BY HARVIE DE BARON

Good carbs are essential fuel for the body. Some may argue that you can use fat to fuel your race and training, but fat, as a fuel, burns brightest and best with a carbohydrate flame.

In the quest for better, faster, stronger performance on race day, it’s no surprise that some endurance athletes

might have considered trying the Paleolothic diet. The Paleolithic diet is rooted in the belief that what we eat should be akin to the diet of man during the Paleolithic era (the caveman). This means relying on unprocessed food plus skipping grains entirely. If your purpose is to lose weight, this probably is the best low-carb diet out there. But the thought of skipping grains entirely without looking at the quality of grains available is questionable. Why keep the grains and starchesA strict Paleo diet touts fruits and vegetables as carbohydrate sources. Grains and starches are prohibited. Despite the presence of adulterated and processed grains like white bread and pasta in the market, there are still quality grains such as brown rice, quinoa, and oats that serve endurance athletes well.

Grains are an excellent source of carbohydrates, which is the main source of blood glucoseAs an endurance athlete, good carbs are essential fuel for the body. Some may argue that you can use fat to fuel your race and training, but fat, as a fuel, burns brightest and best with a carbohydrate flame. Skipping good sources of Paleo-forbidden carbs like brown rice, quinoa, and sweet potato might hold you back from racing at optimum levels.

Muscle needs carbs to build and workCarbs convert to glycogen and glycogen is the fuel for muscle. If you rely solely on fruits and vegetables, you might not be able to eat enough (due to the “sawa” factor) to build the muscle you need for endurance sports.

Endurance athletes are always carb-depletedFrom my experience as a nutritionist, endurance athletes are usually very carb-depleted.

The body communicates lack of carbs as cravings for carbs usually in the form of sweets. If you go on a strict Paleo diet, not only are you running the risk of being carb-depleted but also carb deprived.

Variety is key to sanityBecause carbohydrates are important for endurance athletes, skipping certain carbs puts a limit to the variety the athlete can eat. In theory, it sounds easy to live off fruits and veggies as your source of carbs. However, it is very difficult to do. Keeping a variety of sources for carbs saves you from the nasty cravings and feelings of deprivation that come after long periods of just eating fruits and veggies.

The bottomlineBottomline, there are people who have successfully lived out the Paleo diet as a lifestyle, but it isn’t for everyone. Our bodies, especially those of endurance athletes, are built to take in carbohydrates from a variety of clean sources and helps the athlete reach his full potential.

IS TAKING A MULTIVITAMIN NECESSARY? We may think we get all the vitamins and minerals we need from our diet but we don’t. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are common even among athletes who follow a strict diet and control their diet quality. Diet improvement is the best advice for an endurance athlete, but a vitamin supplement can benefit the athlete’s health and performance even as he works on developing better eating habits. Longer-distance triathletes reported taking in more supplements for recovery and endurance especially after exercise, compared to shorter-distance triathletes, said a a study entitled “Supplement Use Among Endurance Athletes” presented to the International Society for Sports Nutrition by the US research group, SupplementWatch. In the Philippines, where more athletes are progressing to triathlon and other types of endurance sports, there has also been a high demand for multivitamins and supplements that claim to be designed for endurance athletes. One tested name is Enervon Activ which helps athletes build stamina, train longer, and perform stronger. Each capsule is packed with B-complex, ginseng, and royal jelly to provide powerful boost of energy; vitamins A, C, E, and Zinc to strengthen immunity and a special blend of Mineral SIUM 5XTM formula to improve muscle control. Take one Enervon Activ everyday to ensure better performance in training and on race day. Enervon Activ is available in all leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide.

EAT RIGHT, RECOVER RIGHT

fter your most intense workout sessions, your glycogen stores

are depleted, lactic acid is accumulated, and muscles are worn down. Recovery is the process of your athletic condition returning to normal. A strong recovery will allow serious athletes to build on their training and conditioning far faster than their peers. Nutrition is one of the most under-appreciated or misunderstood aspects of recovery. Read on to find out how these tips below can significantly affect your body’s ability to bounce back:

TIMING IS EVERYTHING WHY: Immediately at the end of a long workout, your body is primed to use up anything you take in to replenish glycogen stores and repair damaged muscle groups. This occurs in a short 30-45 minute window after a workout. DO THIS: It’s critical you have something to eat right away. The sooner you eat, the quicker your body can get to work repairing itself. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T EAT? Once this window passes, a secondary recovery window opens for nutritional intake for longer workouts, albeit at a slower pace. The duration of this recovery period is approximately as long as your workout. DO THIS: Over this time it’s important not to skip meals. Many professional athletes even make it a habit to snack on trail mix or other small healthful snacks throughout the rest of the day.

MEASURE YOUR CALORIES WHY: The amount of nutrients required for recovery is typically affected by training duration or intensity, as well as your body weight: DO THIS: Over the initial 30-minute recovery window, aim to consume around 0.5-0.7 grams of carbohydrates per pound of body weight, and 0.1-0.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Adjust accordingly depending on the intensity of the workout. Many endurance sports coaches recommend this 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein, a ratio you can find in chocolate milk or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Over the secondary recovery window, continue your nutrition and aim to cover an additional amount of grams and carbohydrates and protein similar to the amount in the first recovery window. While the numbers mentioned above have been studied exhaustively, they are intended for the “average athlete.” Meticulous athletes can measure their caloric intake and tweak their consumption while gauging how their recovery improves.

IT PAYS TO BE PICKY WHY: Ideal foods to take in during the recovery phase will vary as your body transitions from a workout to a resting state. EAT THESE: CARBOHYDRATES. The 30-minute recovery window should mimic intake similar to what you would consume during a workout: high glycemic-index (GI) foods like gels, fruits, and juices that contain little fiber to make it easy for your body to

transport these carbohydrates to your glycogen stores. As you return to normal, transition towards your daily diet, with lower GI foods that contain more vitamins, minerals, and fiber.PROTEIN (WHEY- AND SOY-BASED) While the specifics of what constitutes an “ideal” protein intake regimen are still up for debate, some aspects are not: an adequate supply of amino acids (typically derived from protein sources) is essential for muscular recovery. Both whey- and soy-based proteins are quickly absorbed (making them ideal for long workouts or the immediate recovery period), while casein (the principal source of protein) is known to provide a steady source of protein for a longer period of time.PROTEIN (NATURAL SOURCES). While juice and protein shakes can be great for immediate recovery, it’s important to stress “the little things” that athletes need for complete nutrition, which they often should find in the next set of meals after their workout. For example, some of the natural sources of protein that your favorite athletes can’t seem to get enough of (like salmon, chia seeds, and dairy) contain other nutrients such as iron, omega-3, antioxidants, and calcium, all of which play a role in performance and recovery. For the committed athlete, proper nutrition during recovery should be a no-brainer. Carefully considering your intake during recovery is one of the cheapest, easiest, and most effective things you can do to improve the impact of your training regimen.

ANTONIO MACASIEB joined the world of triathlon in 2014 and has never looked

back, thanks to the sport’s energy, community, and attitude. He regularly trains with Fit+ Academy and works with Fit+ Academy and SOS Rehydrate Philippines to promote healthier nutrition, hydration, and recovery for athletes.

Caroline “Xena” Steffen - 2015 Ironman 70.3 Cebu Women’s Champion

Untitled-1 1 10/8/15 10:42 AM

COVERSTORY

When interest in triathlon began to rise in 2009 following the staging of the first Ironman 70.3, triathletes were hard-pressed to find the right gear for their swim, bike, and run needs. The usual sports shops, new to the demands of multisport enthusiasts, had a limited supply of specialty equipment, while ordering online, could be fraught with hazards such as wrong sizing.

These were the reasons five avid triathletes came together to put up a specialty store and training center for triathlon in the country. Drew Arellano, Raoul Floresca, Raymond Racaza, Alex Uy, and Shy Vesagas opened the doors of the Tri Temple in Makati. The five bandied about the concept a year ago. “This was actually a long-time dream, the whole concept of putting up a facility like this came about from our experience of going to bike shops and other retail facilities here,” says Floresca. “Naisip namin, ‘wouldn’t it be good to have a facility to cater to anything a triathlete needed,’” he adds. But they didn’t just stop at dreaming of it as a store. They dreamed bigger. “We wanted to have coaches and facilities for training. The two biggest needs we identified were the need for a training facility to develop swimmers’ proper swimming form, and where coaches can do proper training for bikes,” says Floresca. By February, they agreed to these concepts, and Tri Temple was born. “It was one of the names that came up and we liked it. It’s a place for people who love and worship the sport. A temple is a place where you can find peace. For us and many triathletes, in a place like this, whether they are training or shopping for gear, they are in their element. This is their peace,” he says.

THE GOODS & THE GEAR IN ONE ROOF

Hunting for triathlon gear before the triathlon boom was a matter of hunting in the right places.“ When I started in 2009 it was fairly easy to find the gear that we use—if you knew where to look for them,” says Floresca. Finding all these under one roof was a stretch. “For bikes, you went to Cartimar. Running shoes were in the sporting goods stores. For tri apparel, ’yun ’yung mas mahirap. We looked through magazines and then ordered online, where we had to pay unbelievable shipping and customs fees. It was a challenge,” he adds. As triathlon grew, local companies owned by fellow triathletes brought in a variety of brands of which 40, encompassing bikes, apparel, gear, accessories, and nutrition, are carried by the Tri Temple. One of the fear factors associated with triathlon is that it is a very expensive sport to get into. Arellano dispels the notion aspiring triathletes might have. “They think tri is a very elitist sport. It’s not. It’s a matter of choosing the right gear to match different kinds of budgets,” he says. “We are not going to sell you super expensive stuff—one, if you don’t have the budget; two, if you are just starting. We tell them, ‘chill ka lang,’” he says. “We have beginners’ bikes and mid-level bikes, and ‘hey- money’s-not-an-option bikes’,” Arellano adds. Because the founders of Tri Temple are all triathletes, they carry only the brands they themselves have tried and tested. “We can say we have actually put them to the test. We don’t want to be a store that has everything, but with only 20 percent of these actually being used. The brands we have are those that a triathlete would know,” says Floresca.

THE TRAINING FACILITIES

The Tri Temple boasts of an endless pool that can be programmed at different speeds and has built-in underwater cameras hooked up to an iPad loaded with a special app for analyzing a swimmer’s strokes. The idea of installing an endless pool came from Arellano, who saw such a facility in Singapore. “I think that it’s a very unique selling proposition for us. When I saw it being completed, I was very giddy about it,” he says.

Tri Temple is located at 2135 Chino Roces Avenue, Legaspi Village, Makati. For more information, visit instagram.com/thetritemple. To book your session, contact 0928-657-8266. The fees are per session or in prepaid blocks of five or 10 sessions.

Racaza, another co-founder and community editor of Endurance Sports, says this pool is the only one of its kind in the country. “We believe that the magic happens underneath the water. Here, you can also

train yourself for adverse conditions, and learn proper swimming techniques under accredited professionals,” he says. In the same vein, the bike lab studies how triathletes can improve efficiency and power on their bikes. The monitors hooked up to the triathlete’s own bike will show the power output, not just the speed or cadence of pedaling. “It is empirical, based on actual numbers with the rate of perceived effort. Here, it is about understanding yourself and your performance through numbers,” Racaza adds. The bike lab is the five founders’ response as well to the dearth of nearby, convenient places to do bike rides in. “Bike training can be a ‘production.’ You have to drive to places like Nuvali, then after you bike, you have to drive yourself back,” says Uy. Vesagas, the lone female founder points out the bike lab’s added plus for female triathletes. “Unlike guys who just go for it and aren’t concerned that much about safety, this is a safer environment for women. Kung maselan ka, hindi ka pa maaarawan, and you won’t get the pollution. It’s a controlled facility,” she adds. Tri Temple’s doors are open to both newbies and elite triathletes. “We can cater to those who are not into it competitively, to those who want to naturally progress and transition to multisport,” says Arellano. He also acknowledges that the community has also become more competitive. “There are those who want to take off even a few seconds of their race time—and our facilities can help them with that in a scientific way,” he adds. Triathletes, the temple is ready to receive you.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

suspension trainers (TRX, JungleGym, Rip60) TARGETS Core, chest, shoulders, triceps WHY? Promotes core, hip, and shoulder stability and strength HOW?

→ Place both your feet inside the handles of the TRX or JG as you get into a pushup position.

→ Hands should be directly below the shoulders with the elbows locked in a slightly bent position. For beginners,

position the feet beneath the anchor point of the TRX or JG.

→ Lower your body by bending your arms and perform a push-up

→ Slowly bring your body backwards as

one unit until you feel your abs engage to prevent a collapse of the lower back.

→ Bring yourself to the starting position and perform the sequence again for 8 to 10 repetitions.

NOTE: Always keep your core tight and squeeze your butt muscles throughout the movement

EQUIPMENT NEEDED two dumbbells (you know that the weight of the dumbbell is right for you when you have difficulty lifting the last three reps) TARGETS Single leg stability, biceps, rotator cuffs, shoulders, triceps WHY? Tones arms and shoulder, promotes coordination and stability

HOW?

→ While standing on one leg, begin with your arms down by your sides while holding a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing your body

→ Bring the dumbbells up while simultaneously rotating your palms to face your body at shoulder level.

→ Press the dumbbells up by extending your arms above your head.

→ Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.

→ Perform the exercise for a total of eight to 10 reps standing on one leg up to 4 to 5 times.

NOTE: Always stand tall by looking straight ahead throughout the movement

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

Valslide or towel, slippery surface TARGETS Glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, inner thigh WHY? Promotes horizontal resistance. Lengthens and strengthens your inner thigh muscles which are normally tight and weak

JAMIS DRAGON RACE 29 AND SRAM GX 1X11

BIKE REVIEW | BY TJ PARPAN

RIDERS REVIEWS

hen I got into mountain biking in 2008, I started with an entry-level hardtail which I rode for

a year then invested in a full-suspension cross-country trail model in 2009. It was a built-bike equipped with a 3x9 drive train that I’ve enjoyed using on all kinds of routes and conditions. That bike continues to be a very reliable ride as well and I’ve never felt the need to upgrade. Since we featured the new SRAM GX drive trains in the last issue, I was

intrigued to see affordable 1x11, 2x10, and 2x11 options after being so used to a 3x9 all this time. I wondered how much the technology had innovated and hopefully trickled down in the last six years. More importantly, how would GX drive trains actually feel on a ride. The initial plan was to install a GX drive train on my circa-2009 bike, but it looked like a more current bike was needed. A request from the distributor, Nanotech, yielded an SRAM GX 1x11 outfitted 2013 Jamis Dragon Race 29er hardtail demo bike for testing.

The drive train review would now be in conjunction with testing a hardtail 29er. Very interesting! The testing was done on a trail that I was familiar with, the Heroes Bike Trail in Taguig City. That way, I could make direct comparisons between the two bikes. Two other MTB enthusiasts were invited to give the test rig a go. They were also familiar with the trail and used the same frame size too.

→ found it more comfortable than full-suspension rig

→ The frame was very supple and comfortable I felt I could ride on it for days→ Ride height wasn’t awkward at all owing

to its low clearance from the ground to the bottom bracket, and those 29-inch wheels really go over anything

→ always been a fan of SRAM’s buttery shifting→ aside from its simplicity, it can fully shift

accurately on climbs that demand heavy pedaling

→ found myself tolerating the SRAM groupset as I enjoyed the dragon

→ expected all the clumsy wobbling-about one gets on a 29er and instead found myself throwing this nimble frame around turns over little jumps

→ a low bottom bracket that allows you to keep your center of gravity low enough to feel planted while enjoying the large roll over of the 29 inch wheels

→ a shorter than usual chain stay that makes the rear tire dance along with your hips as you throw your weight around

→ a chromoly frame whose flex gives you just the right amount of play to flick the bike around when you need it

→ the drive train didn’t call attention to itself and simply hummed along nicely

→ surprisingly nimble through the series of twists and sudden turns of the track even with 29” diameter tires

→ but the Reynolds 853 steel frame hardtail 29 made trail bumps and roots disappear

→ with the 11-speed cassette, I always found what was needed within the middle range throughout the trail

→ the absence of sound as pedaled forward and the noiseless shifting was another noticeable quality

→ comparing it with current ride, it definitely covered the range I usually needed, and still had more to offer

SALOMON CITYTRAIL RUN MANILA 2015SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 | INTRAMUROS, MANILAPHOTOS COURTESY OF SALOMON PHILIPPINES, AILEEN FRUGAL, AND JESSA RUNES.

Leading trail running brand Salomon staged the second year of the Salomon CityTrail Run in centuries-old Intramuros. Aimed at elevating the running experience

in an urban landscape, the race kicked off at 4 a.m. and offered unconventional challenges to its 750 participants—such as running along ramparts and crossing bridges so as to simulate the different foot strides during trail running. Participants of the 6-km and 12 km race categories were allotted two hours to cover their respective distances. The runners were all smiles at the finish, high from the experience of a race through historic foundations of the Salomon CityTrail Run route.

CLARK-MIYAMIT TRAIL ULTRAMARATHON

NOVEMBER 22, 2015PHOTO COURTESY OF TIN FERRERA

The Trail Running Season officially started with the staging of the Miyamit Falls Trail Marathon (MF42) on October 4, 2015, a race with 26K and 42K distance category. This served as a qualifying race for the 5th CM50Ultra, the Clark Miyamit Trail Ultramarathon on November 22. The CM50 Ultra in turn, is a qualifier for the prestigious Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) in France. The trail of Miyamit has been the playground of race director and founder, lawyer Jon Lacanlale when he trained for his international races. Lacanlale has crossed the finish lines of the UTMB (France, 2011), the Western States 100 (USA, 2012), Bighorn 100 (USA, 2013), the Ultra Trail 177K (Hong Kong, 2015), and the Trans-Lantau 100K (Hong Kong, 2015). In the Philippines, he is a regular fixture of the short and long-distance trail races, including premier The North Face 100. His race experiences helped him adopt international standards into the CM50 Trail Race Series. “Being a trail runner first before being an organizer, I know exactly what goes on during a race,” Lacanlale said. Apart from being a UTMB qualifier, the CM50 Ultra Trail Race aims to promote our local races to the international trail running community, present a challenge to trail running newbies and veterans, introduce trail running to road runners, and promote environmental awareness.

2015 EVENT LISTINGS

It wasn’t just the challenge of finishing a 50K or a 100K run, but the inspiring stories behind the of finishers of the Cardimax-Clark Ultramarathon last September 5 that made the event memorable. Vladimir and Kevin Hernandez, the father-and-son tandem known in the running community as Team Never Run Alone, reached the 50K finish line by clocking in at 7:33:41. Vladimir pushed his son Kevin, who has cerebral palsy and autism, on a wheelchair. Ernest Carual, a runner with a prosthetic leg, also crossed the same distance. Though he finished the race 47 minutes past the cut-off, he was still declared an ultramarathoner. This was Carual’s moving message to fellow runners: “If I can, you also can.” They were among over 200 ultramarathoners who joined the Cardimax-Clark Ultramarathon. The challengers’ route took them through the wide highway leading to Clark’s main gate, along the tree-lined Airforce City towards SCTEx, and to Sacobia River. Halfway through the route, participants had to overcome steep climbs and downhills until the turnaround point that tested

everyone’s grit, until their return to Sacobia Bridge. The ultramarathon event was difficult, based on the 72 percent finish rate for the 50K and the 50 percent finish rate for the 100K. Cellular tower technician Eugene Postrado took first place honours for the 100K by crossing the finish line in 8:58:06, two-hours ahead of the second placer. Call center employee Silamie Apolistar clocked in at 13:31:09 in her first ever 100K, taking the top honors in the women’s category. In the 50K men’s category, Aresenio Uminga breasted the tape first at 3:39:49, while Melinda delos Reyes outperformed the rest of the 50K lady contenders by finishing in 5:16:12. Ayala Triads and Team Soleus brought home the Team Championship award for covering the fastest average time for 100K Category and 50K, respectively. Timing mats and chips — a first for road ultramarathons in the Philippines — allowed accurate run splits and swift verification of the race’s results.
