Coach Anthony Dandan of RUN AS ONE

Coach A Spotlight

Discipline today. Victory tomorrow.

Coach Anthony Dandan stands as one of RUN AS ONE's strongest examples of discipline, patience, and purpose.

Coach Anthony Dandan brings championship experience, humility, and steady leadership to RUN AS ONE. A former Adamson University track and field athlete, he held two long-standing UAAP race walking records from 2005 until 2024, a rare mark of discipline, consistency, and competitive focus across nearly two decades.

His records include the 5,000-meter walk at 24:09.40 and the 10,000-meter walk at 50:22.5. For our running community, those numbers are more than achievements; they are reminders that every strong run begins with proper form, patient training, daily commitment, and a heart that keeps showing up.

As a coach and mentor, Coach Anthony helps runners build endurance, improve pacing, strengthen running discipline, and develop the confidence to finish stronger. Whether guiding beginners, steady community runners, or athletes preparing for race day, he teaches that progress is not only about speed; it is about consistency, teamwork, resilience, and respect for the journey.

His message to RUN AS ONE is simple: train with purpose, run with heart, and let today's discipline become tomorrow's victory.

Our Motto

One Goal, One Heart, One Community

One Goal

We help every runner move toward the next honest milestone, from first kilometer to race day.

One Heart

We lead with encouragement, consistency, and respect for the person behind every pace.

One Community

We turn training into belonging, because the best miles are easier when nobody runs alone.

Runner Tips

Lessons from famous runners around the world.

Short training reminders inspired by world-class runners, made simple for the RUN AS ONE community.

01

Eliud Kipchoge

Run with patience.

Start controlled, stay relaxed, and trust steady effort. Great running is built one consistent day at a time.

02

Joan Benoit Samuelson

Respect your own pace.

Do not chase another runner too early. Find your rhythm first, then grow stronger through the finish.

03

Haile Gebrselassie

Enjoy the work.

Training becomes easier when you bring joy to it. Smile, breathe well, and remember why you started.

04

Paula Radcliffe

Prepare before race day.

Practice your pacing, hydration, shoes, and warmup during training so nothing feels new on the day of the race.

05

Mo Farah

Finish with focus.

Save enough strength for the final part of the run. When it gets hard, shorten your thoughts and keep moving.

06

Deena Kastor

Train your mindset.

Positive thinking is part of training. Speak to yourself like a teammate, especially during difficult miles.

07

Shalane Flanagan

Recover like it matters.

Sleep, easy runs, stretching, and good food help your next workout. Strong runners also know when to recover.

08

Usain Bolt

Relax to move fast.

Keep your shoulders loose, arms smooth, and face calm. Tension wastes energy, even in short fast efforts.

09

Kenenisa Bekele

Build a strong base.

Easy mileage gives your body the foundation to handle faster running later. Do not skip the simple days.

10

Grete Waitz

Believe before you see it.

Progress often feels quiet before it becomes visible. Keep showing up and let the small gains collect.

11

Emil Zatopek

Get comfortable with effort.

Hard sessions teach discipline, but they work best when balanced with recovery and smart pacing.

12

Allyson Felix

Strength supports speed.

Add simple strength work for your hips, core, and legs. A stable body runs smoother and stays healthier.

13

Meb Keflezighi

Warm up with purpose.

Start with easy movement, drills, and gentle strides before faster work. Give your body time to wake up.

14

Catherine Ndereba

Run tall and smooth.

Keep your chest open, eyes forward, and steps light. Good form saves energy when the distance gets long.

15

Galen Rupp

Control the details.

Know your route, shoes, hydration, and target pace. Good preparation makes race morning calmer.

16

Brigid Kosgei

Let long runs teach you.

Long runs build endurance and confidence. Keep most of them comfortable so you can finish strong.

17

Jakob Ingebrigtsen

Practice controlled speed.

Fast running should not always be all-out. Use intervals to learn rhythm, breathing, and repeatable effort.

18

Tirunesh Dibaba

Change gears wisely.

When you feel good, increase pace gradually. Small surges are easier to hold than sudden big attacks.

19

Abebe Bikila

Stay humble and brave.

Simple training done with heart can take you far. Respect the distance, but do not fear it.

20

Des Linden

Keep going in bad weather.

Some runs are not perfect, and that is fine. Adapt, stay safe, and build toughness one run at a time.

Beginner Topics

Start running with confidence.

Quick topics for new runners who want to train safely, enjoy the group, and keep coming back.

01

Your First 5K

Begin with walk-run sessions, keep the pace easy, and celebrate finishing more than speed.

02

Run-Walk Method

Use planned walk breaks before you feel tired. It helps beginners finish stronger and recover faster.

03

Breathing Basics

If you cannot speak short sentences, slow down. Comfortable breathing builds endurance.

04

Choosing Shoes

Pick comfortable running shoes with enough room for your toes. Avoid racing in brand-new shoes.

05

Warmup Routine

Walk briskly, jog lightly, and add gentle leg swings before faster running or group starts.

06

Cooldown and Stretching

Walk after your run, drink water, and stretch gently once your breathing is calm.

07

Hydration and Food

Drink before long or hot runs. Eat something familiar, light, and easy to digest before training.

08

Running in Heat

Start early, slow your pace, wear light clothing, and take extra water breaks in hot weather.

09

Avoiding Injury

Increase distance slowly, rest when pain changes your stride, and do not race every run.

10

Simple Running Form

Look forward, relax your shoulders, keep arms smooth, and land lightly under your body.

11

Race Day Checklist

Prepare shoes, bib, clothes, watch, water, and breakfast the night before your event.

12

Joining Group Runs

Arrive early, introduce yourself, choose the right pace group, and stay with someone near your level.

13

Staying Motivated

Set small goals, track your runs, and remember that consistency beats one perfect workout.

14

Recovery Days

Easy walks, sleep, and rest days are part of training. They help your body become stronger.

15

Tracking Progress

Watch distance, time, and how you feel. Improvement is not only about pace.

16

Common Beginner Mistakes

Starting too fast, doing too much too soon, skipping recovery, and comparing yourself to others.
