FatBirds Grace Nike Human Race Training Run

FatBirds to lead the Human Race (Singapore vs The World)

FatBirds @ RACE THE WORLD

I started to have a sniffly and blocked nose on Saturday morning, and was nursing a cold by Sat evening. Still it was not enough to stop me from going down to ECP PlayGround @ Big Splash at 5.30am to do a morning run, before helping out with Team FatBird at the Nike Human Race Training Run.

By 7.30am, the Nike Human Race tents and registration were set up. Team FatBird, MR25 runners, the Nike guys and SgRunners were already there. Had a good time meeting up with new SgRunners, and FatBird David even had a chance to try out the pair of Lunar Trainers newly christened by SgRunner Quincymmx.

FatBirds & Human Racers At The Start

Quite a good crowd showed up by 8am, and after a good round of stretching, and introductions of the few of us by Sacha as the front guides of the run, we set off towards the Chalets with about 100 runners. FatBirds and MR25 pacers spread ourselves out to guide and cheer the Human Racers on. It was good fun and quite inspiring to see all the human race runners giving their best, and showing very positive attitudes to complete the 6km run.


It was nice to see a couple of I-Runners @ River Promenade at the Human Race training too, and they told me their I-Run training have made them better runners, showing good improvements. It was satisfying to get positive feedback from the runners on the good work we have done with run-leading and motivating. At the end of the training run, we were rewarded with cold 100-plus, bananas and chewies....healthy replenishment for the good workout. FatBirds and some SgRunners took some nice group photos, ending the morning session on a very high note.
