The most common reason we don’t get a workout in is we don’t have the time. It’s hard to squeeze in a workout or any type of exercise and even I find myself skipping on workouts when it’s just not doable. However, as much as possible I try to set a target of 3x a week doing yoga/pilates. If I can do more than that’s much better. It’s been my goal to join a fun run but it’s already been more than a year since I I started aiming to join one. The reason being that the usual runs are so early on weekends and very far usually near MOA (Mall of Asia) or BGC (Bonifacio Global Center). That’s why I was intrigued to learn about Sun Life’s Virtual Run that they’re launching this year.
As you probably know talented actor Piolo Pascual, is the Sun Life ambassador and he’s going on his 11th year of SunPIOLOgy dedicating himself to promoting health and wellness to everyone he can reach.
The event carries the theme “SunPIOLOgy Xone” and will also feature Sun Life Cycle PH and Sun Life Resolution Run.
Sun Life Virtual Run: Run Anytime, Anywhere
A new event this year, the Sun Life Virtual Run is a long-distance race that participants may complete anytime, anywhere. Participants from different parts of the country may challenge themselves to complete an accumulated distance of 50 (Php1,100) or 125 (Php1,400) kilometers which can be spread over 30 days.
This way, runners can pace themselves and freely strategize in accomplishing their target distance within the prescribed period. Progress is tracked using a GPS watch, a fitness band, a running app on a smartphone, or by taking a photo of the progress on the treadmill and submitting it via www.takbo.ph.
Registration for Sun Life Virtual Run is ongoing at www.sunpiology.com and will be open until October 14, 2019. The run period will be from October 15 to November 15, 2019.

Sun Life Resolution Run: Race to Fight Diabetes
An exciting and energizing way to kick off Sun Life Philippines’ 125th anniversary in 2020, the Sun Life Resolution Run is a race that aims to get everyone into a healthy mindset as the year starts. Also hosted by Sun Life in select Asian countries, increasing awareness in diabetes prevention and management is one of the company’s advocacies that is especially crucial in the Philippines, as the disease has been declared as an epidemic in the country.
The Resolution Run will feature the “125 Xone,” where runners will pass through “xones” aligned with the diabetes prevention theme. Moreover, 125 lucky runners will also get to win electronic gift cards worth P1,250, which they can redeem in various partner stores.
