How Running Benefited Maja Salvador

[caption id="attachment_2171" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Thelma"][/caption]

Maja Salvador plays a runner in the upcoming movie "Thelma" inspired from true life stories of Filipina runners.

The movie was directed by Paul Soriano, his second attempt to create a full length film, since he used to do advertising films.

Real Life Olympian Runner Elma Muros is also part of this film playing the coach of Thelma, the character played by Maja Salvador. Maja trained hard for this and she said running had really benefited a lot specially to her health.

"6 weeks po akong nagtraining para magampanan ko talaga ang role ng isang runner and malaki po ang naging tulong nito sa akin" she said during the bloggers night of Thelma held at Yellow Cab last August 31.

"Mas na eenergize po ako sa trabaho pagkatapos kong tumakbo" she adds. "Pag may extra time po ako sa work, itutuloy ko po ang pagtakbo".

*THELMA lead star Maja Salvador and Director Paul Soriano are trending on Yahoo Philippines. THELMA is a must see film, showing nationwide on Sept 7.

More updates to come after I run........
