Each and every one of us have their own personal reasons on why we continue to run. We asked our readers the question “What do you love most about running?” and we got some amazing answers, so we decided to put them here and allow them to continuously inspire everyone!
1. Nairda Amsedel: I love those aspiring runners; people whom others think they can’t run, but they are giving more inspiration on how they are lacking in physique but still pushing their self to the limits and just enjoy running, they have my respect and hats off to them, truly inspirational.
2. Liza RI Fetalino: you don’t need a field or a court, you don’t need special equipment, you don’t need to be part of a team and don’t need a another player (you can do it alone), and most of all, it’s the only sport where the newbies can run together with veterans and elites (paraphrased from Bill Rodgers, i think)
3. Doug Castor: what i love about running, is doing the basic step of having my Dream MARATHON but to make it happen the most difficult is TO WAKE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING!
4. Luigi Paulo Mendoza Sorreda: The adrenaline, torture, heat and pain, then feeling good and feeling ko si mirinda carfre/macca ako? :D
5. Ayah Buenaflor: My shoes..haha.. the soul searching and reflection, the feeling of freedom and power during the actual run..
6 Warner de Ramos: i’m a newbie runner, and i find encouragements from elite runners, they don’t look down on me but instead they keep on saying, “it’s ok if you’re slow, just continue doing it and never give up! Don’t push it too hard. Just enjoy your run!” Well, that inspires me to run, and run happy!
7. Mayor Maryon: its FREE
8 Ivan Origenes Cagata RN: Self fulfillment after the run
9. Alemap Airotciv Zuliuga: Fulfillment kapag natapos ko yung takbo without stopping kahit ilang beses ko na na-hit yung runner’s wall.
10. Eugene Fortunado: everything from telling you to take another step and another until you never thought that you are there enjoying the leg pain during the run, to never stop till you got to whenever it is, to reach your goal and go beyond your limits and it will teach you that you are more than what you are capable of
11. Judy Isabel Quirino Espiritu: It made me physically and emotionally fit
12. Marc Buan: Doing it with my wife… ;)
13. Jun Arlante: Unlike going to the gym… Its free!
14. Gamuz Juvah: Ung feeling ko na ako si “Naruto” the guts to never give up.. :)
15. John Vincent Esteron: Thought me to never give up . . .
16. Henry James Apanay Pinga: It lowers my blood sugar

it helps me eliminate certain level of stress from everyday toils.
It’s not about losing weight anymore, hinahanap na siya ng katawan ko! And you can eat whatever you want after a race!
running is my happy medicine… the more I run the stronger I feel..:)
Ha! My favorite question. Why running? Because running is freedom. Freedom from the material necessities that are associated with running. Medals. Shirts. Lootbags. Freedom to do your best every time you are out. Freedom to run slow or fast. Freedom to be with nature. Freedom to think. Freedom to hear your breathing. Freedom is running.
Yung feeling na pagod na pagod ka na pero you keep pushing your self hanggang sa hindi mo napapansin na malapit mo ng maabot yung goal mo. And after the run. Yung feeling na parang lumulutang yung legs mo dahil sa nararamdaman mong pagod. :D
Because running remove stress and makes you feel great after a run good or a bad run.
I love running because it is similar to flying only you do not lift off the ground.
Running a lot of benefits to our body,,,,
i love running why?????
hindi ko rin alam! basta love ko sya!! iba ang tama e!!
Nice! Love the list :)
running kasi eto yung sports na sarili mo rin ang challenger at iba yung feeling after tumakbo.
because it feels good to know that you improved.. it also taught me values like perseverance, patience, humility and made me appreciate my health and body.. the self-fulfillment every time you beat your PR, forgiving yourself and giving yourself a chance to take a break and do it again better next time.. these experiences makes me feel that i exist.. that i am human.. (lalim!! :D)
seeing triathletes with disabilities inspires me to enter the world of running.. kung ako nga kumpleto ang parte ng katawan, ano ang excuse ko para hindi gawin ang kaya nilang gawin?
Why we love running?
Because there are no reasons not to love running!
it keeps us sweating and releases toxins of our body .running also releases our stress and tensions and we feel more relax after exhaustion.so health is wealth.
Helps me keep fit and no need to think.
running helps me challenge myself and its good for the health the body release some toxin through sweating and its really feels good after exercising.you dont only attain ur goal but you go far behind about it.so stay fit eat in moderation think positively and exercise.
