Belinda Cheong 1hr 11min in 10km race, an Improvement of 3mins.
Berlinda Cheong - On top of the world today with a new personal best time.
Belinda Cheong, 38, today ran and did a personal best time of 1hr 11min. She sent me an SMS that she has improved her time by 3mins in the 10km race. She seemed very contented from her message as there were words of appreciation also included. I realised that she had gratitude for our training, especially towards our coaches from Flexifitness.
As for me, I have been noticing that she has been training consistently to keep fit. She did minimal training with us but she was a regular in training. Her mileage has been constantly 12km approximately.
She has been joining us in our programme and she also runs with her husband. I used to admire her determination to exercise no matter what happens. I hope that this will ripple to many who are reading this, to exercise. She also has a very good attitude towards exercise and keeping herself healthy.
I thought that her interview would be motivational for people who do not have the time at all. Perhaps, this will form an important thing for them to learn to exercise even if you are very busy.
An Interview With Belinda Cheong
What was the race called?
Pocari Sweat Run 2014
What was the distance.?
10 km
What was your time for the race? Is that your personal best time?
About 1 hour 11 min.
Yes, this is my personal best time.
How was your preparation for the race? Did you feel prepared?
I have been running twice a week, once on my own about 7 km and once every Saturday with Flexi Fitness.
I was ready for this race and aimed to complete in 1h 10 min. In the previous run at Nike Run SG, I completed in 1h 14 min for the 10km run.
Are you happy and satisfied with your time?
Yes, moreover I completed strong, did not feel any pain and I felt really good the whole day after that.
How was the organisation of the race?
How was the organisation of the race?
It was well organised. No bottlenecks.
Transportation arranged ($6 for the trip there at the MRT station nearest to my house).
Received a waist pouch, a towel and a medal after completing the race.
How was the route?
How was the route?
The route was good. Running while facing the hot sun was only a short distance away from the finishing line.
How was the drink points?
Well-spaced out. Very importantly, both water and Pocari sweat were served
at each point and they were COLD! That was awesome!
In what way Flexifitness training has helped you to do well. ?
The stretches and exercises, the interval training that Coach asks us to do and sharing sessions about achievements attained by the runners motivate me a lot.
What is your next goal. ?
The next run maybe SHAPE Run if not Nike We Run. Hope to complete
in less than 1h 10min... strong, hee...
