Tillor to share running know-how to Baybay City Runners

CEBU, Philippines - Cebuano long distance running star Noel Tillor will invade Leyte not to compete but to share his technical know-how on the port to both the aspiring and experienced/competitive runners in Baybay City this weekend.

Spearheaded by the BC Runners, a growing running community in the west coast of Leyte, the 31-year-old Tillor will present a wide-ranging topic about running to the group and its members.

"As an ultra marathoner, marathoner, elite runner and community coach, I think I would be of big help to the upstart,  established and competitive runners alike," said Tillor, a four-time Cebu Marathon champ and five-time ultramarathon titlist. "I've noticed that most runners today lack guidance and don't have proper knowledge about the technical aspect of running. That is what I'm going to emphasize to them."

"It's been already seven years since I became an elite and community coach in running. And I'm doing this for free and it is open to all. This is really part of my goal and vision, to share my experience and knowledge in running especially to those who are willing to learn for the love of the sport,"added Tillor. "I'm truly happy and honored that the BC Runners invited me to conduct and clinic in their place."

After the orientation today, Tillor will take up proper running form. Tomorrow, he will discuss about group run and the application of running techniques.

The two-day undertaking is part of the BC Runners' rigorous preparations for their first ever full marathon race on December 11. (FREEMAN)
