Optic Nerve: a runner’s eyewear
Jun 4th
There are sunglasses and there is Optic Nerve eyewear.
I’ve been using a pair of Optic Nerve eyewear since February and found it indispensable, especially with the searing heat and the early daybreak of the summer months. I even use it at night during the weekly Friday Night Runs that I organize.
Optic Nerve is a sunglass line geared towards sports, especially running and biking. The company has various eyewear models but all share key technologies: UV protection, active lens venting, carbon scratch coating, tactilite rubber components, durable nylon resin frames, focalpoint lens, among other things.

Optic Nerve said all its lenses exceed standards set by the United States government on UV protection and impact resistance. The company said its polycarbonate lens resin makes its lenses exceed standards for “general purpose impact resistance.”
Given the many times that I’ve dropped my sunglasses and even individual lenses while clumsily trying to change them, I’d take their word for the impact resistance.
RUNNR now open in Ayala Center Cebu
Dec 1st
Specialty running store RUNNR opened its Cebu branch last Saturday at the second level of Ayala Center Cebu across TimeZone.
The opening has been widely anticipated by Cebu runners. RUNNR stands out among sports shops because of its Footworx, an integrated system that helps runners pick the correct shoe for their foot-type and gait.
More than just a market, running is an advocacy: RUNNR founder
Nov 19th
ROBERTO “Toby” Claudio, Jr. hated running because of his bad back and anterior cruciate ligament injury.
But he later found out that with the proper form and correct pair of shoes, he could run despite his bad back and knee injury. Now, the eponymous eldest son of Toby’s Sports founder Roberto Claudio, Sr. regularly runs and has even finished the half-marathon. He’s still planning to run his first full marathon and is considering doing it during the Cebu City Marathon on Jan. 10, 2010.
ONLY IN A NEWTON. Toby Claudio explains to Cebu bloggers and reporters what sets a pair of Newton Running Shoes apart from those of other brands. Claudio, who runs only in Newtons, is the founder of the running specialty store RUNNR, which will open in Cebu in the first week of December. CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE. (PHOTO BY MARLEN LIMPAG)“Running is not as easy as it looks. It’s hard on the body,” Claudio said in a briefing last Saturday for Cebu journalists and bloggers on the opening in the city of his running specialty store RUNNR.
From “zero running,” Claudio said he was able to regularly run relatively injury-free after learning the proper running form, particularly ChiRunning, and wearing correct shoes.
“Many still use improper footwear for running. That and the lack of proper technique can cause pains. Then they stop,” Claudio said. “The solution is to get the right shoes. Choosing the wrong shoes can cause a lot of problems.”
