00:00 In the Philippines, one of the famous trail runners is the fitness coach and race director, Sienna Swift.

00:07 I'm excited because they are the featured athletes here in Amazing Earth.

00:26 Have you tried extreme sports? The one that is hard and sometimes, it's even a life-threatening one.

00:30 Every summer, there are a lot of outdoor activities that can be done.

00:36 And now, the trend is trail running.

00:39 In the Philippines, one of the famous trail runners is the fitness coach and race director, Sienna Swift.

00:46 What is the difference between trail running and running in general or road running?

00:54 In road running, it's concrete, asphalt, and in street, unlike trail running, it's soft, the surface is different.

01:02 There's muddy, soil, it can also be rocky.

01:06 Because when we're on the road, there's pollution, noise, and when you go outside the city, you can see the beauty of nature,

01:15 the smell of nature, it can relieve stress, and it's like a therapy for me.

01:23 So in terms of physical benefit, do you think that road running and trail running are the same?

01:30 Or can you say that trail running is harder?

01:32 Trail running is harder.

01:34 When we're on the trail running, we're using the parts of our muscles that we don't use on the road.

01:42 What other projects do you do for Mother Nature?

01:45 I have a group, Swift and Fit. I'm the founder of the group.

01:51 I train them for running. We have a tagline, "Beyond Running."

01:54 We do outreach programs and pre-planting.

01:59 As an advocate of health and wellness for women, Coach Sienna is also working on another project,

02:06 which is International Women's Month.

02:08 Tell us about the Binibining Marathoner. What is it?

02:13 It's an all-women race.

02:16 The unique thing about this race is that not only do the winners get medals, but they also get a crown.

02:22 We have a tagline, "Every woman deserves a crown."

02:27 Not all women get a crown on the beauty pageant, but this time, they get it through running.

02:32 How do you relate to women empowerment?

02:34 We help them, encourage, support them, and inspire as well.

02:40 Women are strong, confident, but sometimes, they lose that confidence and it's boosted through other women.

02:50 I salute you for what you're doing.

02:52 Coach Swift, thank you for what you're doing for the environment and women here in Amazing Earth.

02:59 You're an Amazing Earth hero.

03:01 Thank you, Coach.
