How often a beginner should do a running exercise per week?

Often times, you find yourself overweight and then you start to feel so conscious about it. You then buy a pair of running shoes and start running.

Krua Thai in Cebu- My Dining Experience

One of the great restaurants I’ve tried in Cebu is the Krua Thai. After a good dining experience in one their SM City Cebu branch, I found out that there is a high similarity between Thai foods and Filipino style recipes.

5 Best Foods for Runners and Duathletes for Improving Performance

I can tell you that one of the most important factor for improving running and duathlon speed performance is on the nutrition(if rest and workout hours are already properly addressed). Below are some of the most important foods that are tested to improve performance: 1.) Rice in your diet Rice is rich in carbohydrates and the most important fuel for speed.
