S. Jeevaneesh - One of the best potential to be tapped by Singapore
Picture 1 - Securing his number one position in the Nat Schools' Cross-Country Championships 2011
After running in the National Schools' Cross-Country Finals 2011 and coming in first in the under 17 boys category, with a 20sec improvement in the cross-country record, previously set by Soh Ruiyong from RJC, later on, S. Jeevaneesh was asked to do the 2.4km test, a week from the race. He did 7min 47sec for it. The reason I gave the test was because of my keen interest to ascertain what kind of time he could do for the 2.4km race at that time.
Over time, fortunately, he was sitting for the GCE 'A' Levels. May 2011 onwards, he was at times doing twice per week training with me. Once he finished his preliminary and GCE 'A' Levels, he was working for a few weeks. He came to me, later on, to train seriously before going to the Army.
With the new technology in running discovered, I was giving him the lastest training methods to run fast. He did 7min 15sec in 2 months. I knew that the methods and system that I have gradually developed works.
Soon after, he went to the Army and it was only recently that he contacted me to start training again.
With such a talent, it is wise for Singapore Athletics to take notice of this budding runner, who is also a training partner to Ashley Liew as well. We just hope such kind of talent is used well, instead of going in vain.

As he has just ran in the 350 Run race, I interviewed him on his 37min 02sec run while currently, he is still in the Army. We wish that he is given more support by the ministry and Army. Not to forget, he has a personal best time of 16min 10sec set in 2011 in the National School Track and Field Championships. He needs to cross the 16min barrier to go beyond the schoolboy level to achieve excellence.
My take is that he is one of those who can do a sub - 14min 45sec for 5km and a sub - 31min in 10k in three years to come.

I will put his interview answers for all avid runners' benefit. Here we do have a guy who is capable of doing wonders for Singapore in the near future. Let us read about him.
An Interview With S. Jeevaneesh
What was the distance of the run?
10km.
What made you take part in this race?
I wanted to see how fast I could run despite not training much due to army commitments.
Did you enjoy the race?
I did enjoy the race because I was targeting 40mins at first but surprisingly came in within 37mins.
How was the terrain of the race?
The terrain of the race was good, mostly flat. It is a typical city-run similar to NTUC Income run 350 last year.
What was your target?
My
target was to complete the run well below 40mins as it was my first
time running a 10km race since NTUC income run 350 last year.
Are you happy with the time of 37min 02sec?
Yes,
I am happy with my time. It shows potential for a better timing in the near future with proper training because I did such a time with so little training.
What is your next target?
My next target is
to achieve a personal best by September. I am quite confident that it can be done with proper training this time and I believe I can do less than 35mins for the next run.
