The Sub 3hrs Marathoners that I have coached/assisted.

There are people who I have helped to enable them to do well in the marathon on my way to do the 2hrs 24min 22sec. The following people are those who at one time or another came and joined me to do a personal best for their marathon. I will elaborate on these gentlemen on how they were able to do the sub 3 hrs later on or on another posting.

Proudest Moment - I came in as the champion, with Daniel second and Dr Ben Tan coming in third.
