Flexifitness Athletes - Ashley Liew, Colin Chua and Kariel did very well in overseas races.

Ashley Liew

 
We have good news for Flexifitness. It all happened after Ashley had finally finished his exams recently.

On a happy 4th of July, Ashley Liew came in as the age-group champion of the Red, White and Blue Shoes 5km with a season-best time of 16m18s, setting a 2-mile Personal Best time of 10m19s along the way. It was a super competitive field (overall winning time was 14m18s!).

Note: Two weeks back, Lim Thow Wee and Colin Chua did Flexifitness proud by coming in 4th overall team in MR25 Half-Marathon x 2 runners race. Lim Thow Wee did 1hr 36min, while Colin did 1hr 38min.

In Gold Coast Marathon today, 6th July, Sunday, we got results that Colin Chua, did extremely well judging from the fact that he did limited training with us. Colin commented (via SMS)," I did a 1hr 24min 24sec for Half-Marathon today (PB by a minute). Reached 10km mark in 39min 30sec (also a PB). I am happy with the run, given the less than ideal preparations due to injury etc. I am looking forward to training with Flexifitness athletes again."


Another smashing result which came was from Kariel, in the women half-marathon. She commented on the race to Coach Rameshon (via SMS)," Hi Coach, thank you for the training program and advice. I hit personal best at 1hr 57min 37sec. Her past timing 2hr 14min. It was a huge personal best time for her and we are proud of this. It is a 17min improvement.
