Past running history:
I was too chubby as a kid until they called me 'Tua Pui Seng'.
I was introduced to running in 2004 by a Famemas sports supporters club member.
I never thought I would pick up running, having undergone a heart operation in 1996 at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore for constrictive pericardectomy.

Why I run?
Apart from the main objective of healthy living,I love collecting medals,trophies, running tees,certificates and bibs.Medals will be hung on IKEA drying racks.At times,when my wardrobes are full of tshirts, I give away preloved ones to children charity homes.
Running forces me to wake up early and sleep early.My competitive races are effectively my LSD runs.
Running allows the entire family to travel and enhances family bonding.
Running allows me to enjoy scenery along the race route.

Year 2016 is a record of sorts for me,until I was called the most crazy and hardcore runner by Pacemakers Club.
Number of events participated: 81 Nos
Total Distance clocked: 1,031km

My running strategies:
1.   Employ the right running strategies.Use proper breathing techniques.
2.   Readup on current running articles and attend running clinics.
3.   Train regularly in my neighbourhood in Bukit Rahman Putra.
4.   Rest and sleep well the night before races
5.   Watch diet.Avoid oily food prior to races.
6.   Clear bowels before running.
7.   Take fruits every lunch and dinner time.
8.   Clear mind mentally before and during runs.
9.   No alcohol or sex the night before races.
10. Right motivation from friends and family
11. Take part in as many races as possible that suit running regime
12. Analyse past and present timings and build on strengths and weaknesses
13. Wear good running shoes and wear heart rate monitors each time.
14. Use available running apps to aid training
15. Avoid streneous back to back (b2b) races
16. Stay injury free by doing proper warmups and warmdowns
17. Train by running uphill
18. Arrive early at race venues to calm mind

My favourite distance is 10 to 21km.

My pride in running:
I not only run for medals.Now I run for trophies.Not so much for cash prizes.You can earn back money but trophies and medals are your momentos and souvenirs for life until we kick the bucket!
My motivation is to strive for podium finish.
Usually I stay back after races to mingle around with other runners and will be one of the last to leave venue.I love to see happy faces of runners and volunteers.

Motto and future aspirations:
To inspire and motivate others through running.To constantly improve myself to be equal or to be better than others.
As a senior veteran category runner,I hope to run for many more years to come,maybe 70plus years old.

Welcome to der Family : der Pacemakers #42 (PM42)

My name is Tan Wah Sing and was born in Jan 1957. Along my marathon journey I was conferred with other name-calls such as barefootsing, bising (at one time I made too much noise in bank), Wah Shuk, Wah Koh (make me feel young), Tang Ha Hsin (I was often late and even issued a LMC ticket when boarding a flight to KL, LMC = last man coming) and of course the most famous one is Sifu (as if I know kong fu). I live and work in Kuantan and while my family is in KL, I commute every weekend to the city and taking part in run events at the same time. In my younger days I was indifference to sport and the only game I played during my school day was table tennis. When I commenced my career at 23 I indulged myself into a devoted white collar working class craving for promotion and higher income. My unhealthy lifestyle has taken a toll to my health as often I was under duress stress after having to slog for long hours especially when I started working in KL.

One fine day I got an invitation from a business friend to hike up Bukit Pelindung hill near Telok Chempedak beach in Kuantan. I thought it is an easy climb not until I realized my stamina was so bad that I was completely pumped out and  I could heard him vividly yelling to remind me that we had not even reached a quarter of the ascent. In order not to disappoint him I dragged my wobbling legs and weary torso gradually at snail pace to reach the summit.  At that time I was 42 and began to ponder and worry about my health.  From then on I started to show keen interest in exercise.

Besides hiking I also tried to do some jogging. I bought myself a pair of running shoes and started to jog alone in places where not many people were around as I was rather reserved at that time. The beginning was tough to adjust the time and find the right running shoes to suit my widely spread forefeet. As I ran more frequent getting the intrepid to explore and joining some run groups such as the hasher to gain more confidence and avoid boredom. I began to realize it’s better to find friends to run together as they can help me to stay focus and motivated. After some time injury began to stalk me when I embarked into more runs and participated in race events. After one year it turns out so bad that I have to discard my running shoes and try to jog barefoot instead. Surprisingly I enjoy it more despite of the initial setback on injury to the soles of my foot and some minor pain to joints and muscle. During the transition switchover from shod to unshod some run-mates implored or even warned me that running barefoot could become paralyzed.  I can’t blame them as at that time running barefoot is insane to many and there is very little reference to find on internet. It took me almost a year to accustom to run barefoot and have the audacity to take part in races and even marathon. My first barefoot competitive 10km charity run was in 2000 and did my virgin marathon in 2001.

I celebrated my 100^th barefoot marathon in the recent SCKLM on 7^th August 2016. Running has given me so much pleasure and benefit I am passionate to treat it as my main hobby. It has also given me the opportunity to take part in oversea marathons integrated with holiday to relief from work.

As a procrastinated poor writer I am sheepish to say that it took almost a year for me to write this report since Ronnie sent me an invitation in January. If not due to persistence of Kahwai’s reminders I could have forgotten about it. I owe him a treat on the banana leaf rice for that.

Nevertheless it is an honor to be a member of Pia family. I still recall vividly those good old days when I started to pace together with Ronnie and some members of the Pacemaker group. They really can run like cheetah and I have to gasp for air in order to trail behind. Many of them have improved leaps and bounds now and I can’t even see their shadows during competition. Keep up the good work and cordial spirit. Run safe and keep injury away.

About Myself

Name:  Ong Sueming, Audrey

Height: 157cm

Weight: 43.5kg

Hometown: Taiping, Perak

Why I Run?

I started jogging when I was in high school. At that time, my intention was to lose some weight. However, as years go on, I was addicted into it and started to RUN until now and will continue this journey in future and forever.

There are varieties of reasons that I love running:

1. Running makes me look good (both internally and externally).

2.Running eases my stress and tiredness.

3. Running makes me happy and relaxed.

4. I can make lots of friends during running training, races etc.

5. Running helps me to boost up my self-confidence.

I am a girl who loves Running. I do not aim to get anything but just to run for myself, my health and fitness.

A little of my future goals in running:

10 km – sub 45 minutes

12 km – sub 52 minutes

15 km – sub 1 hour 5 minutes

21 km – sub 1 hour 45 minutes

42 km – hope to achieve a good timing which I am really satisfied with.

Introduction
I am a young sport enthusiast who love to discover about different sport, and always consider sport as a healthy game that keep us fit and healthy. Before I exposed to running, I was interested in playing badminton and football like kampung style without any right techniques and skills. After years of playing without improvement and for fun sake. I used to be a skinny kid when I haven’t expose to running, because I do not eat well and take care of my diet .After I started join running, I learnt many different thing from different sources such as friends, instructor, coach, articles and books. I have no experience and knowledge about sport when I was young, until I joined this running community, I see different people, and learn different things.

How I started running
One day, I joined a run in Taman Jaya back in 2010 which is a charity run in june and I got 4th placing on podium. That was my first time podium ever after entering secondary school , this motivates me to grow passion in running. So from there onwards, I always join running event and started to do some research on running since I have zero knowledge about running. Until 2011, I requested to join school team and fortunately, I was able to get in top 5 for 5,000m track and field district level competition. I’ve seen many athletes who are much stronger than me , so I wish I could be one of them as well after years of training. In 2011, I am still a beginner who don’t know about those training program, so I seek for those running clinics for guidance. I could really woke up very early in the morning just to take LRT to different places to join those event, such as running from Masjid Jamek LRT to Lake Garden for a running clinic. From 2012 onwards , I started a proper training with a school coach for 6 months , I really got improvement and getting stronger, managed to represent district to state level competition . Unfortunately, that time I wasn’t able to perform well, as I was too nervous before competition, and not well prepared . Also ended up with injury in the mid of the year due to over intensive training for fast improvement, so I stopped until my SPM over, then I started back in 2013 ,18 years old my goal for that particular year was aiming half marathon because I have enter category of Men Open which I think that I should go further to gain experience for longer distance running. So I did my first HM in BSN PNM with timing of 1:27:12 . 2nd time I did in PBIM with 1:26:43 .

As life goes on until 2014, I joined Dirigo team to participate Full Marathon, I was surprise that in order to be part of the team , I have to run a FM .So I decided to put myself into a challenge to be youngest and fastest Marathoner in Malaysia , targeted to go sub 3. In 3 months time I really train very hardcore with weekly 80-100km mileage, my legs really hard to adapt as I was still young and busy on my college assignments which cause me to have insufficient of rest. At the end, I did 3 hr 07 min for my virgin FM in SCKLM 2014. My timing was ruined because I have not enough of experience in FM and my nutrition plan was not well prepared because I got cramp at km36. In 2015, I have a serious plantar fasciitis which stopped me from running for few months, but I can’t live without exercising after I started, so I decided to do other training like cross training to maintain my fitness level. In 2015 and 2016 I started to do more strength training to have an overall fitness instead of being a typical skinny runner. Sports have too much things to learn, until now I am still discovering the knowledge in order to stay fit and healthy .

My workout routine
Last time I planned my training in a stressful way, because I did a lot of high intensity training in a week, but after discussing and learning from different sources, I have changed the method of training. Different training plan suit different people, because everyone has different body and living lifestyle. I always listen to my body in order to perform well, and prepare for big races. Well planned training program could really improve my performance very fast, when I used to do many high intensity training in a week compared to lower volume of high intensity training, I get better in lower volume high intensity training. Because rest is also part of training.

My Running Motivation
I always push myself to be a better me, because I always believe I can. It takes time to grow from weaker to stronger. I always see those professional athlete as my motivation because I want to be one of them in one day. My friends and those supporter are my motivation that keep me ignite . In order to achieve this, I always see Discipline is the main component in order to success , because we need to put ourselves out of comfort zone to achieve better future. No matter how busy is my life, I would at least put in a short period of exercise instead of skipping workout.

What makes me love running
1. I love to join competition because I can see myself in what level of fitness among the people in the society.
2. I want to define my strength to see my limit and weakness for further improvement.
3. I like to share experience and knowledge with people to help people to achieve life goal.
4. Running is the cheapest sport to invest, and it give a better heart for better health.
5. I can burn a lot of calories, so I would not worry of my diet
6. I like to join different community to expand my social network and get along with new friends.
