My greatest achievement in terms of running was finishing a half marathon. It was my first try, the first 5k was already a struggle but the few kilometres away form the goal is like reaching cloud nine! (My First 21k Run)
That was one time in 2014, and I don’t know what happen why I stop doing runs. I think, I did too much before it made me quite thinner, but this time (with my current weight) I better start running again. And a sign just came in … a new shoes!
A few weeks ago, Skechers partnered with Milo and held a fitness clinic and we got to experience running with the new Skechers Go Run Ultra R. Fitness Coaches Jim and Toni Saret lead the pack as we challenge ourselves and finish the goals.
I didn’t really think that this would be very challenging, just look at my outfit! I was wearing an Outkast Jogger pants! I was the only one in pants I think. Coach Jim and Toni recognises me because from the last session with them I almost collapse. (Metafit Fitness)
With Ruth Dela Cruz wearing our Skechers Go Run
Before the session starts, all the members of the Skechers team (including me) was given a chance to introduce ourselves to the crowd. I’ve heard this was their graduation session and we were like a “special guest” to witness it all (and to try everything as well).
My back was still injured on that moment making me think first if I would give it a go or not! But still, I wanted to try it.
It was 7 stations (routines) targeting different body parts and in between those routines we would be needing to run for (I think) 2 kilometres before doing the next one.The routines became too difficult for me to do because of my back pain, but if I wasn’t injured I think I would finish everything swiftly!
It was a struggle, but the running portion I felt like a feather, haha! maybe because of the comfy shoes I was wearing. The Skechers Go Run shoes are so fashionable, I was wearing black but my other mates was wearing colourful ones. If your adventurous enough you can go wild and get those vibrant and funky style. You can go sporty or dressy just using this shoes!
Still fresh after the run! Thank you Skechers, Milo and Joseph Asong for having us!
I’m proud of my self finishing all the routines, thou I must say I did cheat in some runs hahaha! Thank you Skechers for letting me join the fitness clinic, I definitely needed to start running!
