Tabal, in an interview with CDN Digital, said that she won’t be competing in the race, but instead will have a forum tomorrow at the Mountain Wing of SM Seaside City Cebu at the race expo for some chit-chat with the participants. “A lot of runners put pressure on themselves because of the cut-off time, the uphill route, the strong headwind, etc. That will only ruin their experience, especially the first-timers. Just enjoy and don’t expect too much,” said Tabal.
Tabal also pointed out that runners should avoid overthinking and expecting a lot. Besides poor performance, Tabal said that this can cause acid reflux which might ruin a runner’s overall experience.
