Metro Manila’s Running Spots: Perfect Paths for Fitness Fanatics
Let’s be honest: nothing tests a relationship quite like a boyfriend who lands in town for a visit and immediately declares, “Let’s eat everything.” My boyfriend touched down, and within 48 hours we had inhaled enough sisig, ramen, and suspiciously good milk tea to make our bathroom scale file a formal complaint. The struggle between “one more bite” and “one more inch on the waistline” is real, and frankly, undefeated — until now.

The route was a wild mix of rough roads, pavement, and trails, constantly challenging us with rolling uphill and downhill stretches. And the real test? Tackling the legendary Cardiac Hill—a climb that lives up to its name! This scenic yet grueling 21-kilometer trail started…
