Soh Rui Yong issues challenge: run 2.4km in less than 7min, and win $700 from me.

[Kxbc]

ask 6 of the fastest uncles in mcf and each will sprint 400m. Add up the timings and surely will still be above 7 min. 😁

each round must be faster than 1 min 10 sec then can achieve a sub 7 min timing.

[Adrianli]

I thought those Gurkhas all run very fast one. Maybe can challenge him.

I also thought the special forces other than the Commando are much better cos they are selected.

[Enye]

wah lao...under 7 mins for 2.4 km even if got in commando or hidden elsewhere, definitely a rare occurrence and maybe not even at this current time

maybe last time even have 1 in commando did it and eg 100 people witnessed it, on social media the 100 witnesses will say until got 100 different persons ran under 7 mins lah

not only that, these witnesses will assume every batch of commandos will produce 100 different persons who could run under 7 mins for 2.4 km

this event is like 华山论剑 like that,  those after fame and fortune will go.  while the participants are definitely one of the best runners at the current time, there MAY also be some hidden highly skilled people who are not interested but again would be very rare if any

🤣

To be fair, a commando can be very very fit but they are all rounders.. Not just focus on running 2.4km.

To achieve a very fast 2.4km timing, normally need to be a sprinter, very slim and lightweight.

I believe commando body build will be more muscular and with a heavy body.

The fastest I had seen during my NS day is one regular, who is also a regular runner getting 7min20sec+ for every IPPT test. He is also very slim and light weight body.

agree....commandos may not have the elite athletics runner figure to dip below 7 min....they may be powerfully built to cater to other demands like lifting and punching, (which SRY will have no chance against them) but in this aspect of sprinting 2.4 km, I think SRY will win.

SRY body is lean and light....and power comes from the leg and upper arm strength to push the lean body forward. You can see in badminton, the tallest guy or the guy with the most powerful smash does not always win the match....

if they say do a 100m sprint....then is a different story...the power of the commandos legs might be able to overcome the lean and light body of SRY!

Just my thots....as i have seen elite athletics run at OCBC arena but they are from different sports and they can managed 8 secs for 2.4 (mind you they are superfit in their respective sports) is just that their training and body strength is not catered to running as a core....

There's a good chance someone will go under 7 mins. There a large group of expatriate runners here. Some of the AMDK runners are elite level.

They arent in commandos.

For this issue, the talk is about those people in Commando/NDU and others if they can do 2.4km in 7 mins. This is the clear cut of face to face challenge lor. 

My thought is "You can do it, but that does not mean others cannot do it". 

If others argue with you on line for saying other people can do like you do. Is it justifiable to put up this challenge? This could just be his character. Not me

[Ho2786]

I will pay him $700 to STFU

rich people don't need his $700.

This guy has his point too. But end of the day. I am also interested to really see if there will be anyone to run the 6 min 59 sec and say "I am serving my NS in XXX unit" 

Like this can liao. If not, the story will go on forever cos of the words in the challenge
