Even though I try to treat my body well, sometimes stress, work and family obligations interfere with my healthy eating habits and usual training diet. When it happens, I have to work hard to get back on track, particularly if an important running event is on my calendar.

I felt as though I was on the biggest mission of my life when I started shopping for my new pair of running shoes because I consider shoes to be the most important gear I own. Besides, I was sad to see my old shoes retired. I felt like I was saying goodbye to an old friend! I was able to narrow my choices down to a couple of brands and styles and I’m happy I chose the Reebok Z Pump Fusion running shoe after a long decision-making process. Is the shoe perfect? That’s a silly question because nothing’s perfect, but I’m always willing to overlook a few negatives if they’re as inconsequential as those I discovered while doing my shoe research!

The sixth edition of the NTUC Income Run 350, organised by Young NTUC wooed around 12,000 participants to the F1 Pit Building, Marina Promenade in Singapore at 5 a.m. on Sunday morning with the event theme, “My Climate, My Responsibility”.

Raise your hand if you love a good mystery! Readers have opportunities to consider the usual suspects, experience plenty of twists and turns and, of course, the culprit gets his or her comeuppance. But when the mystery involves running injuries, even talented storytellers can’t unravel painful twists and turns—and solutions aren’t always easy to uncover. That’s why Singapore runners count on physiotherapists like Bevan Colless to interpret clues and diagnose aches and pains. Colless uses his degrees in Sports Science and Applied Science to treat running-related injuries, and his personal passion for competing in triathlons makes him uniquely qualified to hand out advice. Bevan works and trains with his equally talented wife, Vanessa, and there’s no mystery behind their relationship or their shared passion for competing in events that push them both to their limits!

It’s not every day that marathoners get to take in the splendiferous views of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) as the kilometres tick by.
