True to the codename Operation Sunbird, Team FatBird's FlightZONES Marathon Training Program kicked off with the first session in sweltering heat. Highly-charged Sunbird Runners showed up at the Nest bright and early, full of enthusiasm to begin their journey towards year-end marathon success.

It was great to see many familiar faces from past FatBird training programs and FatBird Runs, as well as many new faces, most of whom were training with Team FatBird for the very first time. All their worries about the 13km-24km distances required at the first session were put to rest, with the majority of the trainees taking to the ECP pathways like ducks to water, soaking in the km as if they have been training there on many occassions. There were speed demons, along with the Happy Groupers, all sharing a common passion for running and achieving their year-end marathon goal.

Although there were a few minor hiccups, the proceedings of the whole session went well, thanks to the dedicated team of Sunbird Support Crew and Running Guides/Pacers. It was great to have a bunch of enthusiastic and committed Sunbird Trainees, all ready to learn and put into practice those tips and lessons which will see them through for the marathon. A good beginning will pave the way for better things to come, and we have certainly started on the right footing.
