Photo credit: ONEathlete

ONEathlete and National Marathoner Mok Ying Ren held his traditional wedding ceremony and michelin-starred luncheon banquet this afternoon, with his wife Belinda Ooi at the Regent Hotel. The Double SEA Games Gold Medallist struck another holistic gold. Family and their close friends were present on this joyous occasion to extend their blessings and well wishes, including school teachers, coaches, partner sponsors, as well as Belinda’s water polo teammates, friends from her alma mater and colleagues from the medical fraternity.

Being a national marathoner, Mok’s wedding theme was aptly set as the start of a ‘lifetime marathon’. Therefore, as a tribute to the brand partners’ unwavering support for Mok at each and every monumental milestone in his life, the gatecrashing ‘brothers’ were ceremoniously decked out in sponsors’ attires featuring ONE, New Balance, Oakley, Keypower Sports and 100 PLUS SG as they once again help Mok overcome the various ‘gate-crash’ hurdles to the dream of his life.

While the couple had initially preferred a cosy and quiet wedding ceremony, their minds were changed after seeing how many wanted to be present for their start of a new chapter in life. Mok and Bel also hoped this would be a fitting nod of grateful appreciation to those who have witnessed and helped them grow and mature throughout the years.

Mok and Belinda were clearly enjoying every moment together, mingling with the guests during the cocktail reception and sharing anecdotes over the years of friendship. The stage-shy Mok also overcame his fears and performed a magic trick said to have won him Belinda’s heart years ago.

We all wish Mok and Belinda a blessed marriage and many years of joy in their lifetime marathon ahead.

Justin Gatlin Finds Himself In The Middle Of Another Doping Scandal

Justin Gatlin is known for his long-standing rivalry with the fastest man on earth – Usain Bolt. He drew headlines this year when he beat Usain at the London World Championships. He, however, has often been cast as the villain as opposed to Bolt’s hero status. Gatlin has served a 2-time ban for doping.

He finds himself in the spectacle of yet another scandal. An investigation has been launched in light of allegations that Justin Gatlin’s coach – Dennis Mitchel and agent – Robert Wagner had offered to supply performance-enhancing drugs to undercover reporters.

According to the report, Wagner told reporters that the drug was widely used in the sport. He was quoted saying – “You think Justin is not doing this? Everybody does it!”. Upon revelation of the news, Gatlin has fired his coach and agent. He claims he was shocked and surprised and is not taking any performance-enhancing drugs, contrary to the allegations that implicate him.

However given Gatlin’s history, this is not good news! Gatlin has been met with boos and jeering at many of the World’s biggest competitions due to his history. Back in 2001, he served a 2-year ban for amphetamines which he said was used to treat ADHD. In 2006, he was slapped with an 8-year ban for testosterone. His ban was reduced to 4 years for his co-operation in an anti-doping investigation into his former coach, Trevor Graham. This time he said a massage therapist rubbed testosterone onto him without his consent or notice.

Gatlin has collected 5 silver and 1 gold World Championship medals after serving his ban.

12 Familiar Resolutions For Runners [Part 1]

January 1st inspires all of us to dream big. We have great plans, and with that comes our new year resolutions. We are going to make it count this coming new year! Dreaming big isn’t enough. The dream is free but the hustle is sold separately.

Here’s how to kickstart your journey to your big goals this coming new year.

#1 Start Running Regularly

Remember that consistency is key. You want to be doing what is sustainable. Don’t set yourself up for failure by setting a schedule that you can’t follow. Start with a 3-day running week and make them non-negotiable. Remember, it only takes 30 minutes of your time. Set up a running schedule – plan which 3 days you are going to run and stick to it. Another tip is to have a progress chart. Once you start to see progress, this will fuel your motivation to continue running regularly.

#2 Lose Weight

Start with clearing out your kitchen off all the junk. Throw away all the crisp, chocolate and sweets. This will make it less likely for you to reach out for that unhealthy snack. Instead, stock up on healthy snacks such as fruit and nuts. This should be the first step. Don’t go for too drastic a change. This is because our body craves the safety of familiarity. Change is difficult – especially when you are overwhelming your body with a whole bunch of extreme changes. It can start to feel like a struggle and ultimately you give in to your old effortless habits – because it’s easier.

#3 Complete Your First Marathon

So, you’ve always wanted to run a marathon? Start with picking a race to join. You need an 18-week training block so pick a race that is at least 18 weeks away. Having registered for a race, you would be more committed to your training. Next is to devise a training plan – remember the most important run training for a marathon is the long run. You cannot skip your long run!

#4 Run A Personal Best For your 5km or 10km

These 2 come together to help you perform better on race day.

TTDI v DBKL – TTDI Residents Want To Save Bukit Kiara From Irreversible Damage

TTDI residents want the construction of high-rise apartments in Bukit Kiara to stop! This development will cause irreversible damage to the luscious greenery Bukit Kiara has to offer. The land is developed in a joint venture with Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan, welfare arm of the Federal Territories Ministry.

The KL High Court has recently dismissed the stay application filed by TTDI residents to stop the proposed mixed development in Bukit Kiara pending a judicial review. The formal basis for dismissal is the substantial cost involved which is said to amount to MYR 115 million. The group is required to fork out MYR 40,000 in legal costs incurred for the stay application.

Photo Credits: Lemang Music

The #savekiara project is a public action out of public interest. There must be a consideration of the permanent effect of land clearing. The applicants have nothing to gain from the application, their sole interest is to not have high-end condos built on a green lung and to preserve a great public park.

It has indeed been an uphill battle but one with a worthy cause!

17 Runs In 2017 – Part One (by Ken)

Photo credit: Official Sundown Marathon Singapore facebook page
As the year draws near to a close, I would like to share my one or two liners of 17 runs which I joined in 2017.
(1) Sundown Marathon 42.195km (25/3/17)
  • The first time I queued for an hour and a half for race pack collection, I was not looking forward to race day but fortunately it turned out well and the finisher T-shirt was very nice.
Photo credit: Official Sundown Marathon Singapore facebook page
(2) 2XU Compression Run 21.1 km (2/4/17)
  • Just a week after Sundown Marathon, my body had not rested fully and it seemed like a recovery walk and run instead.
  • Nevertheless, it remained one of the 5 runs that I would sign up for every year.
Photo credit: Pink Apple Events facebook page
(3) The Music Run 5km (6/5/17)
  • With 5 stations playing different genres of music throughout the entire run, I had a super enjoyable time and certainly looked forward to joining the new 10km category in 2018.
Photo credit: The Music Run facebook page
(4) Run Free 10km (7/5/17)
  • The first time when I joined a 10km run without having to pay a single cent and yet had free shuttle service from Stadium MRT to the race venue, free running photos on Facebook and free isotonic drinks after the run.
  • Thank you X-Change Republic for organizing this wonderful run.
Photo credit: Run Free facebook page
(5) Meiji Run 10km (20/5/17)
  • As if running 2 loops around Sentosa under the scorching sun was not bad enough, we had to queue up for around 30 minutes to collect our finisher hamper.
  • Fortunately, the finisher hamper contained many delicious goodies from Meiji eg Hello Panda biscuits, oat crackers, Yan Yan biscuits, yogurt drink, orange water and fresh milk etc which made the long queue worthwhile.
Photo credit: MEIJI RUN facebook page
(6) DreamWorks Day Run 5km (24/6/17)
  • From wrong directions given resulting in some participants having to walk a few kilometers from Promenade MRT to the event venue, too few DreamWorks characters present at the event itself to runners having to pour their own water due to insufficient volunteers and made worse by the scorching weather, I had an enjoyable time, nevertheless.
Photo credit: JJL Runners facebook page
(7) Nee Soon Fiesta 3TEN Run 10km (29/7/17)
  • Expecting a usual Saturday evening run, I was proven wrong by the undulating terrain of the golf course at Orchid Country Club. Although challenging, running upslope and downslope was never my cup of tea.
Photo credit: Nee Soon Fiesta 3Ten Run facebook page
(8) The Performance Series @ Punggol East / Coney Island 21.1km (13/8/17)
  • I did not have a high expectation of this run due to the late flag off timing for 21.1km at 7am.
  • Fortunately, the weather was cooling, the route was beautiful and I managed to achieve my personal best timing.
Photo credit: The Performance Series – Singapore facebook page
(9) Army Half Marathon 21.1km (20/8/17)
  • The run that I would definitely join every year because of 2 reasons: (1) discounted price for NSmen ($16) (2) excellent logistics.
  • Thank you, all the NSF and NSmen, for sacrificing your precious Sunday morning to volunteer at the event.
Photo credit: Run Gallery SG facebook page
(10) Puma Night Run 12km (26/8/17)
  • A refreshing night run at Seletar Aerospace Park, it was a pity that the beautiful colonial houses and private planes were not clearly visible in the darkness.
