Richard started running only at the age of 55 after he retired and has clocked 44 marathons around the world, including Japan, South Korea and Malaysia. He is planning to complete the 2008 Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon with an average time of 13 to 14 minutes per km.
Meng Hui also started running when he was 55 when his drinking friends starting dying. A former smoker and heavy drinker, he turned his life around and completed his first marathon when he was 56, and has 76 marathons (3.5 marathons per year for 22 years!) under his belt. These include races in Norway, Japan, China and Switzerland. His target is 100 marathons.
Meng Hui runs regularly with the MR25 runners - 25 km every Sunday morning. I wouldn't be surprised if Meng Hui were among the senior runners we met at MacRitchie a couple of weekends ago. Boy, are these guys good! You will have to run with them to see for yourself.
Our senior runners are wonderfully amazing and inspiring! Keep running!
