The All-Women Sports Awards was held on March 20, 2026 at PICC Pasay City. I am very honored to be one of the major awardees, and it wouldn’t have been possible without @pinasobstacles (always) especially Atty. Al Agra. Thank you to @phil.sportscommission and @olympic.ph , for recognizing not just our achievements, but also for acknowledging the hard work that precedes them. Thank you to Ms. Olivia Bong Coo for pushing for this every year 🙏 It makes such a difference and a huge impact, to lift women up like this; and in turn, inspire young girls to believe in themselves and aim high. Maraming salamat po. ❤️

His Love for Sport ❤️
Logan is in his last year of his tween age. He has shown a little less interest in joining races, but he’s still showing up consistently for training when he can.
This weekend he ran the SPARTAN Kids with one goal in mind: to beat his time from the previous Spartan Kids on similar terrain — and he did it!
We traveled straight back home right after because I had to start my 50 km race that night and his mama had a 7 km the next day. After I finished, we popped home quickly so I could shower and grab some forgotten stuff 😅. Once we got there, we asked Logan if he wanted to run the 7 km trail race too, and he excitedly said yes!
His goal? To set his fastest time yet — and that’s exactly what he did again.
Even after finishing, he immediately went back to the trail to cheer for his friend, Liam. He was also so happy to see his Tito Doyle finishing his 50 km and jogged a little with him to the finish line.
His love for sport is unconditional. It’s within him. 🏃♂️🔥
Thank you @robert.john.watson for letting him join last minute 🥹🫶🏼

I’m honestly running out of words, because our hike was just that special.
This Mt. Ulap trip recharged my soul in ways I can’t fully explain. I wish I had more photos and videos, but I chose to be present, to breathe it all in, and to savor the moment instead.
Thank you, Coach @sandimenchi , for capturing what you could through photos and videos.
Our Lord truly is the greatest architect. This world is unbelievably beautiful, and I’m so blessed to experience it with my favorite people. 🤍 #hiking #fitness #friends
Vitamin D. Longevity. Performance. Recovery.
All connected.
A large population study reviewed by Steve Born showed that low vitamin D levels are linked to a higher risk of premature mortality and fewer years lived. Even moderate deficiency mattered.
For athletes, the impact often shows up much earlier.
I tested as “normal.”
But normal for the general population is not always enough for athletic demands.
Training increases vitamin D turnover. Recovery, bone stress, immune load, and neuromuscular work all raise requirements. This is why athletes can be functionally insufficient even when blood levels fall within the reference range.
This consistently shows up as:
Slower recovery
Frequent illness
Nagging injuries
Inconsistent training blocks
In the Philippines, we see this regularly despite year-round sun. Most athletes train early morning or late afternoon, work indoors, avoid midday heat, use sunscreen, or have skin types that reduce vitamin D synthesis. Sun exposure alone is not a guarantee.
This came up in discussion with @sandimenchi after finger endurance became a limiter during the Spartan race in Abu Dhabi in December 2024. Vitamin D status was one of the first things reviewed, and another elite racer pointed her toward D3 for grip endurance support. Since then, 2025 has reflected a stronger athlete.
Why capsules and liquid?
Capsules for simple daily use and consistency.
Liquid for dosing flexibility or for those who prefer drops over pills.
Vitamin D works best with vitamin K2 to support proper calcium use and long-term durability.
What matters is using the right vitamin D with K2.
We are here to help fuel your performance, health, and longevity in sport.
