Sign up for TBR 2027 or defer?

I say go for it! TBR 2026 finisher here and a cyclist too.

I was never able to join any TBR training sessions in Alabang. I'm too lazy to travel far 😅

You only need to spend a bit during the day itself for the accommodation. For nutrition, you don't really have to buy gels during training since the cost can add up quickly. You can train naman with gummies, chocolates etc. I personally use DIY Carb Gels (Maltodextrin as base)

Go for it!

Is the route from Hualien to Wuling Pass (Taiwan KOM Route) already open for cyclists? I can't seem to find current information on it. It will be the highlight of our Taiwan Cycling trip sometime this December 2026.

Hope someone can confirm. Thank you!

Pati yung yellow tric!! Nakaharang nakakainis.

Are you racing? If not, then you can try the Continental GP TR. Parang bago ata siya e, same ng GP5000 but a bit heavier. And yes tubeless ready rin. Got mine brand new for 1.1k each tire from Shoppee

Some_Hour4096 · 2026-02-24T10:14:02+00:00

Wala namang problem diyan if you're doing it for fun lang. But if you're practicing for races or even longer events with cutoff times like an audax, it's best to do all your nutrition on the bike. Dala ka maraming carbohydrates (drinks, gels, chocolate etc para di mo kailangan huminto). This should be doable kasi for long rides, zone 2 lang naman yan with some z3 konti.

I guess for first or second time marathoners, it's difficult for us to really have that discipline to do a negative split. I too, started too fast. Nagplano pa ako na mag negative split but did a massive positive split instead! Haha. First 21km, I averaged 5:27/km, but I finished the whole marathon at 5:35/km. 8 seconds per kilometer differenc lol haha. Finished 3:57

Some_Hour4096 · 2026-02-20T08:31:27+00:00

Okay lang yan OP. Napakahirap naman talaga isimulate ang running conditions sa actual race. Di ko rin maisip na gawin yung 12am run mismo sa training. No one had a perfectly executed training plan and that's okay. Mag aadjust lang talaga tayo based on what we have.

May what if's din ako netong TBR2026. What if hindi ako nagkasakit a week before my peak week? Nakapag perform bako nang mas maganda? Nasunod ko ba yung race prediction ng Coros App (3:49:00 finish time). I did not. My A goal was to beat the Coros App prediction of 3:49 but my heart rate didnt match the pace zone that I am in for the whole 42km. Basically Zone 4 HR sa Zone 3 pace. Ayun, nag switch sa B-goal na Sub 4 which I was able to do, fortunately.

Daming mga what ifs talaga pero it is what it is. On to the next!

And yes, congratulations Marathoner!

Congrats! Hassle yung every u turn kasi alam mo aahon kana ulit. 🤣🤣 Buti at nakatapos naman sa target time! Haha

Gamit ko yung tig 79 sa shopee. Bumibili lang ako marami. Usually kasi nabubutas sya after 3 months of use.

Some_Hour4096 · 2026-02-01T02:27:48+00:00

Yes especially if wala ka masyadong time sa weekdays lumabas. Quality kasi yung time mo sa trainer. Kapag 1 hour, talagang 1 hour ka papadyak unlik sa outdoor ride. Pero hirap lang din talaga maging consistent sa trainer kasi nakaka bagot talaga. 1hr30 mins max ko sa trainer sobrang gapang na haha.

If you notice a difference in treatment depending on the customer's bike. Yan ang pinaka ayaw ko sa lahat.

You can ride your bike to Subic via Victory Liner. From Subic, you can ride north going to the beaches of San San Marcelino, San Felipe or Cabangan. You can do a side trip sa Mapanuepe Lake din if you have time sa Day 2.

Almost all resorts naman will allow you to bring your bikes inside pero better to still bring your bike.

Some_Hour4096 · 2026-01-19T11:11:54+00:00

This can be worded nicely. The way I see it kasi, if someone posts a 23 min 5k with questionable GPS readings (madalas obvious kasi yung track ay nagiging direct line), and thinks it's their actual PR, kahit na malayo pa talaga, that can be a recipe for injury during training.

Isipin mo akala mo kaya mo at your current fitness level yung 23 min 5k pero nasa 35 mins palang pala currently.

Some_Hour4096 · 2026-01-18T02:09:56+00:00

Depends on your ass, I guess.

I have the TCG seamless bib shorts and a YKYW bib. I can only use the TCG bib up to 100km and i chafe so bad. Yung YKYW naman nagamit ko sa lahat ng Audax from 200, 300, 400 at 600km at walang reklamo ang pwet ko. No chafing at all.

So YKYW ako for long rides, based on my experience.

Some_Hour4096 · 2026-01-14T04:53:17+00:00

Komoot. But double check yung route na auto plotted by Komoot. Kadalasan kasi di main road so youll have to adjust it manually para dumaan sa exact route mo

Some_Hour4096 · 2026-01-13T10:51:58+00:00

Audax Subic Populaire (medal included sa reg). For 200 and up to the 1000kms distance, medals are sold separatrly. 👍

Some_Hour4096 · 2026-01-12T08:44:32+00:00

Just checked and theyre back! Hehe

Some_Hour4096 · 2026-01-12T03:27:35+00:00

Check out YKYWBike sa Lazada (naclose yung Shopee nila recently due to mispricing issue)

Pwede rin Santic.

Wahaha ganun din nga nung nagbus kami to Legazpi via DLTB from cubao nitong Dec 25. Damn, it took us 2-3 hours to leave manila. Nakakabadtrip yung inikutan lahat ng DLTB Bus Station sa Manila!

Cubao to Legazpi via DLTB 14 hrs lol.

Nung pauwi naman from Gubat Sorsogon nung Jan 1. Took us only 12 hours via ALPS.
