OCBC Cycle 2019 Sportive Ride Review (By KenJoe)
KenJoe -
The OCBC Cycle was into its 11th year running, held on 12th May, two weeks after my Eco Run Half Marathon. I first signed up in 2015, then in 2016. Yes, after I started taking an interest in running. Looking back, those were the two years where a lot...

If Running is Freedom, why stick to the Tried and Trusted?
Every day, the running blogosphere, of which I admittedly am an insignificant but nevertheless guilty part, adds motivational, reflective, entertaining, educational, journalistic, etc. etc., pieces to its already unfathomably large and seemingly diverse universe.
