The training session which is part of the Get Fit 2012 program of HSPI was highlighted by the sharing of experiences and running tips from its guest elite athlete, Rene Herrera.  Herrera is a five-time Southeast Asian (SEA) Games 3,000m Steeplechase champion; the recent gold medal came from November 2011 edition of the biennial games held at Indonesia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ninoy Marayag, member of the training & development of HSPI and a former Smart Gilas Basketball Team strength & conditioning trainer spearheaded the training of the participants which all wore the new HyperSports shirts given to them by the organizer. Basic fitness and running drills and workouts were introduced in this first training session.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also one of the highlights of the event is the 2012 Run – a 2,012 metres run which was derived from the tagline “Get Fit 2012” as their last workout where some elite members of the group joined and ran with the participants. A road race timing device and an RFID timing chip was used in the run of five full laps in the track and an additional twelve meters.
