A graphic designer and baby sign language instructor by profession, Jaymie’s love affair with running started when her regular treadmill jog didn’t seem enough anymore. What started as a mere pound-shedding activity blossomed into an infectious passion that led her to start chronicling her adventures in running through a blog. Now an institution in the Philippine running community, TheBullRunner.com has spawned a magazine aiming to reach more runners on the lookout for information-on-hand.

Jay was a track and field athlete during his years in the Ateneo until the corporate life beckoned. A private banker and a father of three, Jay returned to running with greater zest than during his track star days. Sticking to a strict training program and schedule took Jay to his greatest running accomplishment so far – a 3:38 finish at the recently-concluded 33rd Milo Marathon Eliminations. His dream of qualifying for the prestigious Boston Marathon drives him to keep running.

For Marga, work is not worth doing if there is no fun involved. And true enough, producing Run Radio is the most enjoyable thing in the world! Through this, Marga combines her love for both running and music. As she recovers from recently sustained injuries, producing Run Radio is the closest thing she could get to an endorphin rush. With new events in the running circuit happening on a weekly basis, Marga will make sure that every episode will always offer something new and fresh!
