Lim Szer Khee - Keep the faith



Lim Szer Khee, 39. an insurance manager by profession, used to do 24 to 25min for periodic 5km time trials. His short workouts like 300m x 10 or 400 x 12 were done with good timings. In the medium term, he has brought 5km time to 24min 00sec for the 5km. It was stuck like this for nearly a year.

Very recently, by changing his hand technique and doing a very structured programme, he has brought time, finally, to 22min 40sec. It was a drastic improvement. 

He joined us after running in the Gold Coast marathon 2012. He was hampered by several injuries until he was referred to Dr Kelvin Ng, who is Ashley's and Tarandeep's chiropractor as well. After seeing the chiro, he kept going weekly until his injury vanished. Earlier I saw that his foot was in bad shape. I knew that the footsteps that he took were of the alignment. I taught him to place his foot properly for walking as well as running. Anyway, by doing this, I also knew that he can run faster as the habit of running straight will take place rather than running in a zig-zag manner.

He was very happy with this timing of 22min 40secand today and is looking forward for the Sundown marathon 2013, it is believed that he will be able to finally do a sub 4hr in the coming marathons. He has already done a sub-2hr for the 2XU marathon. Now, he is very confident of running in the marathon races to obtain good timing by following a very structured programme.
