Vegan Kenny Lee - Hoping to bring cheers to the vegan community
Picture 1- Picture was taken in Loving Hut at Joo Chiat
He has done 3 sub-19min timing in 3 months. The timings were all consistent. He did 5km in 18min 38sec with 2 1/2 months of Flexifitness training. In the past, he did not have any personal best time for 5km. At first, with one-month training, he did 19min 40sec and 19min 41sec for the subsequent week.
Today, he ran with confidence and aimed to do a sub-1hr and 30min as it was his first half - marathon race that he was taking part in. However, he was unsure of how to run it. He followed Coach Rameshon' s advice of running the first few kilometres easy and then ramp the speed up by running a steady pace and kick at the last part. Towards the end, I saw him giving his best shot by sprinting towards the last few hundred metres. While the clock was ticking, Coach Rameshon was excited whether Kenny will hit the sub- 1hr 30min target. We were all anxious. Seconds were just passing by and I was looking for Kenny and started yelling as soon as I saw him. Kenny gestured to me by raising his hand in triumphant victory and went for it at the homestretch. His challenge was with himself.
Hence, in such a short span, he has done a sub- 1hr 30min for his first run and right now aiming to do a sub-3hours in this Standard Chartered marathon, either this year or the next, I was thinking of interviewing him on his achievement.
So, first-timers out there, watch out for this interview. I hope that you perk up your confidence and train for races. I hope that you can do a sub - 2 hours for your first half-marathon by following Kenny's example if you keep training consistently.
