JustRunLah!: How will you introduce yourself to Singapore running community?
Jaime: Hello! My name is Jaime Teo and I’m a sports lover. Running is a sport so I guess I love running too!
JustRunLah!: When did you first pick up running (what age) and what inspired you to do so?
Jaime: When I was in secondary school, I would always be picked to do the long distance runs but of course at that age, 300m is a long distance. I found enjoyment in winning those races because it was very much mind over body. Since then I’ve been active but not like in the last 2.5years when I felt the need to get fitter as I got older so that I can keep up with my daughter as well as feel younger. It has taken awhile to get back to running because there are frankly so many other sports that I enjoy!! But making the decision to sign up for a 10km is as good as motivation as any other. I love a challenge!
JustRunLah!: “CONQUER THE DISTANCE, GO BEYOND”, what does the slogan mean to you?
Jaime: To me, it means that the conquering of the mind is more important than the distance.
JustRunLah!: One advice for aspiring runners?
Jaime: It is ok to start slow, and to start with shorter distances. Just don’t stop!
JustRunLah!: Finish this sentence: Running is …
Jaime: Running is convincing yourself with every run, to do faster or further.
