Cebuano runners will get a chance to attend a free running clinic by Arland Macasieb, the mutli-titled Fil-Am triathlete.

RUNNR will be flying in Macasieb for a two-day clinic on March 5-6 at Active Zone in Ayala.

Titled “Optimal Running Technique,” Macasieb will discuss a variety of topics including common running errors in recreational runners, attributes of elite runners, running posture, tools, drills and skills and formula for speed.

The first session of the clinic on March 5 will be from 6-8 pm while the second session will be on March 6 from 1-3 pm.

Macasieb, as of this writing, is competing in the 2010 Malaysia Ironman Triathlon race in Langkawi, Malaysia.

The New Jersey-based triathlete is a 3-time Philippine national thriathlon champion (2000, 2005 and 2006) and was a 6-time World Ironman Championship finisher including a stint in the 1998 Hawaii Ironman World Championship where he was the first Filipino to compete and finish the race.

Furthermore, he has won two bronze medals for the Philippines in triathlon in the 2005 and 2007 SEA Games.

Macasieb has the academic background to go with his athletic prowess. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Rutgers University and a master’s degree in Exercise Science from Montclair University.

Macasieb lists one of his goals as “to help and grow the sport of triathlon and speed skating in both the US and the Philippines.”

This is the second time Macasieb conducted a running clinic in the Philippines. The first was in August last year at Bonifacio High Street in Pasig City.
