At the launch of “aminoVITAL Run 2025,” experts shared their insights and offered inspiration to participants. Actor and marathon enthusiast Deaw - Suriyont Aroonwattanakul encouraged attendees, stating, “You don’t need to start fast or go far. Just start today and you’ll have taken an important first step.” Additionally, Sea - Thima Tongsiri, affectionately known as an angel runner, emphasized the benefits of running, noting that, “Running enhances personality and confidence.” She also recommended aminoVITAL energy gel as an essential companion, especially for women looking to maintain their energy levels throughout their run.
 

Tollmahawk - Ruangyos Mahaworamakorn, a renowned ultramarathon athlete, drew from his national-level experience to highlight the importance of energy management and long-term planning for training and competition. He explained, “The development of athletic potential relies on key factors: sports science, training, physical recovery, and nutrition, applicable to both athletes and the general public.” Tollmahawk advised that while main meals must be nutritious, pre-training meals should be light, energy dense, and easily digestible. He recommended consuming energy gel 30-45 minutes before training to stabilize blood sugar levels, adding, “Recharging energy is essential, much like refueling; without fuel, your body can’t perform.”
