MANILA, Philippines - Want to start running but don’t know where to begin?
To inspire people to have an active lifestyle, ?esteemed athlete and celebrity Matteo Guidicelli shared some good advice to beginning runners.
Despite being extremely busy with showbiz work from his up and coming show such as Wheels TV and Single Single, sports activities like conquering the recently concluded Ironman 70.3 Asia Pacific Championship which consists of a 1.9km swim, 90km bike and 21km run, the "Dolce Amore" star and restaurant owner still maintains an active lifestyle.
One piece of advice Matteo emphasized for those who want to start running is the importance of wearing the right pair of shoes specifically made for running.
“Find a good pair of shoes because you don’t want to get injured. Saucony, the shoes, they’re just beautiful. Aside from how it looks, how it performs, you have so many different kinds to choose from for different kinds of runs, long runs, interval runs, tempo runs. So once you select your good pair of shoes, you’re gonna enjoy your runs better,” he said.
Asked about how his love for running started, he replied: “I used to run before when I was a racer but on a treadmill. I never really enjoyed running outdoors or running long. I started enjoying and loving it when I started triathlon five to six years ago."
Aside from his current projects, Matteo is slated to do a sports show soon.
When asked how he is able to balance his demanding taping and training schedule, he answered: “You really have to just prioritize what you do. Everything’s my priority though (laughs). But the thing is, when you have work, you just think about work. And when your work’s done, you give time to running. And once you make running a part of your lifestyle, everything becomes natural and it just goes with the flow.”
