Know Your Pacers Part 1: 3hrs 45mins and 4hrs Pacers




Starting from this week, we will be introducing the respective pacers from the various time groups so that you can get to know them better!



We Are The Fast N Furious… Follow us to PB @ 3:45Hr

The 3:45hr Pace Group runs the fastest, eats the most too! They are all big eaters, especially after a good run. You will be amazed at their enormous appetite if you ever have a chance to sit down and join them for a meal. It all make senses when you see them run, speed coupled with precision form, all that burns a lot of their energy to achieve the required pace distance. If you are looking at completing your marathon before the 3:45hr timing, then they are the right group for you to follow.

The team comprises of: Max, Henry, and
Selvaganesh Periasamy.

Max Ang, aka Feetoffury
Prior to his passion in running surfaced three years ago, he had hated running. He attributes his running success to failing the 2.4 km run of his IPPT back then. Like an awakening call, he decided to train hard to overcome this weakest link in his fitness form, and he has not looked back ever since. Nothing is impossible! “It has been said, that a person has 7 years of improvement after which one starts its serious training, and so I am looking forward to conquer higher plateaus in the next 4 years.”


The Group of FOUR (4Hr)... ALL For One, One For ALL

The 4hr Pace Group put together has bags of running experience collectively. The group strongly believes that with their expertise, and is confident that we have what is takes to motivate runners and bring them across the 42.195 km finish line within the magical 4-hour mark. See you @ Team FatBird Marathon Trainings, and @ the Start Line come December 7th, 08!
