00:31All of us are really good in training.
00:35It's possible for others to do better.
00:39There's a saying that we're home court advantage in training.

00:50What do you think is the advantage of your team?
00:54I can't say it's an advantage in the Philippines.
00:59I've been to other places like Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand.
01:04The terrain and elevation are the same.
01:13Maybe it's just in training.

02:22Like us, we have dreams to achieve.
02:27We've been in the trail running community for a long time.

02:37Especially the government.
02:39As a trail runner, what skills are important for you to develop?
02:47I see potential in everyone.
02:54I see financial support, especially in training.
02:58Long training is more productive.
03:03It's different when you've been training for a few months.
03:09Unlike now, it's all support.
03:13It's possible for the Philippines to become a top trail runner in the country.
