Jennifer - Time is faster when the distance gets longer
 |
| Picture 1 - From Paris, Jennifer is heading Japan for Osaka Marathon 2014 soon. |
Today, Jennifer Quek, 42, somehow came for training but it was late. All the athletes from FlexiFitness were running on the track. With little warm-up, she mustered up her courage to run the 12km. Only when she finished the steady run that I realized that she was very tired from yesterday's run. She did a personal best time of 59min 35sec for the run.
She just told herself that she wanted to do her run and she was surprised to 10km personal best time of 50min 20sec while running the 12km steady run. Hence, while running the 12km, she improved her personal best time she did in POSB 10km run 50min 48sec.
In this year's POSB Run, Jennifer did a time of 50min plus, which was faster than her previous 10km time of 53min plus. The best part of Jennifer's achievement is that she has come in 10th position in the Women Open race.
Hence there were 4 women from Team FlexiFitness who were top 11 in the 2014 POSB RUN. This was a great achievement for Flexifitness. As this month is my exam month, I was not able to run in the POSB run. I was amazed to see her run in the 12km steady run. She is getting faster over time as I have seen that she is always present in training.
Marathon Personal Best Time - 3hr 48min was done in Berlin Marathon.

As, recently, she has already done personal best time for her 5km and 10km, and the 12km, she is getting ready for the upcoming Osaka Marathon on 26/09/2014. I spoke to her and she was answering my interview questions which I will be posting it out tomorrow.
