Happy Chinese New Year everyone! 🐍🏮

Sportplus Team Two is bringing the heat to the Metasprint Series this Feb 😎

This Sprint relay format starts with a 3K Run - 18K Bike - 3K Run, through the iconic city centre. Honestly the best way to dip your toes into multi-disciplinary events or just a way to compete with friends ✨

Are you ready to be part of the hype? See you there!

Finding my rhythm and getting into the zone 😎

After a less than ideal base training phase plagued with sickness, I'm finally back with intervals! And somehow I'm hitting much better numbers compared to last year despite this rough buildup. Can't wait to see my progress this year, and how this new fitness looks like 💯

Today's fartlek intervals were done with the 2XU Light speed Singlet and Tights, which were both lightweight (the singlet is only 55 grams!!) and breathable. I especially love the thin and almost paper-like design on the singlet, which works really well for Singapore's hot and humid weather (Today was cloudy but somehow still warm). I find myself reaching for this set pretty frequently - Tights are a staple for fast runs. For those looking to check these out, they are available now at Running Lab Novena & Marina Square!

Thicc fluffy pillows on feet? ☁️

The Bondi 9 has joined the squishy gang, with a much needed update to it's midsole. It's lighter, more flexible and MUCH softer in this version.

The old Bondi's EVA midsole was a little too firm for my personal preference, while this new supercritical EVA in this version takes things up a notch 📈

I'm glad to see HOKA getting serious and competitive, not only with their racing line but also with their training shoes. I'm definitely putting more KMs in this pair!

Refreshed, recharged, and ready for the new year!

One of the main new year resolutions I set for myself in 2025 is to enjoy the process. Training hard is tough mentally, and it's so important to learn to enjoy the process rather than focus solely on the results!

I'm loving the small updates (+2mm) to the midsole and minor upper changes. The ride is not too soft, which allows this pair to stay peppy while remaining luxurious for recovery runs 💆🏻‍♂️

The running gel you might not have heard about 🙉

Fuelled up with running gels for today's fartlek session. Just came back from 5 days of sickness, and glad to be back running, even if it meant that it was with a congested nose and elevated heart rate 😁

Tried this 30gram energy gel for the first time, and I've gotta say, it's one of the best gels I've tasted no cap. The consistency is not heavy and the taste is light (Raspberry Lemonade). Looking forward to fuelling my >1hr runs with this in the future so I can better retain my muscle mass on longer runs 🏃🏻‍♂️

For those who wanna check out this gel, the Christmas sale is still on!

Merry Christmas everyone!! 🎄🎁⛄

Just recovered from flu + fever over the weekend, and I'm glad I'm back just in time for the festive season ❄️

Honoured to be one of the first in the world to test the CEP Omnispeed, a dual plated super trainer from CEP! Went half a size up due to the narrow last, though my feet struggled with blisters on my right heel despite the thick socks 😭 If CEP fixes their upper, they would have a pretty good supertrainer in their hands- the midsole and dual-plate combination was a fun ride especially at faster paces!

It's time to start setting new goals for the new year! 🗓️

Here's what's confirmed for me in 2025:

• 2XU Compression Run 10km
• HYROX SG

There will be small races along the way, and I'm still thinking if I should join HYROX in Bangkok 🤔

If you've signed up for an event next year but are not sure how to train for it or are just looking at improving your overall fitness, drop me a DM or check out xtrideacademy.com and I'd love to work together with you towards your goals!

Whichever training type you're looking for (Group Classes, Online Coaching, 1-1 or 1-2 PT), I gotchu covered! 👋🏻

Sunny Saturdays ☀️

Rocking Falcon shades in today's crazy hot weather 😎

2024 was a crazy eventful year full of successes and blunders. I've taken the time to reflect on how the year went and what I could do better, both in my fitness and my new coaching profession. I'm constantly learning and trying to do better with each training block, group class and PT session so that I can give my best not only to myself but also my clients.

I wanna think y'all for the support so far as I venture into this new profession. For those curious, I now do group classes, 1-1 PT, as well as online coaching for running, strength and hybrid disciplines such as HYROX.

It's been an amazing journey, and I can't wait for what's to come in 2025!

10km Yesterday, Half Marathon this morning 😜

This is probably one of the most fun runs I've had in a while, despite making it late to the start line and being stuck at a snail pace for the first 1km. Before coming into this race, I told myself that I wouldn't push as I didn't want to tax my body so early on the base season, so I decided to run it at a steady pace. Felt really really comfortable all the way and finished strong and fresh 🏁

I absolutely love the double up medal, and i'd like to thank and for the race slots on both days, for the full race kits, and for the VIP access post race! Had a blast and it's time to continue base training and put back on some muscle! 💪🏻

Just a chill guy running a chill 10k 😤

One more half marathon tomorrow morning after today's pacing duties! Not trying to PB tomorrow, with the most important thing being reconnecting with friends and having a blast!

Half marathon and full marathon finishers, don't forget to check out the AG1 booth at the recovery zone post-race! Snap a photo at the booth and you could win a free welcome kit!
