From battling injury and depression as an athlete whose whole world was sprinting, to now a young coach mentoring the best athletes in Singapore (100m to 1500m), Coach Khai is perhaps one of the most beloved figures in Singapore Athletics.

How did he overcome depression and his demons?

What makes a former sprinter a top middle distance coach now?

Which athlete has the biggest ego in Singapore in his view?

Does he know he has a huge backside?

Coach Khai answers all this and more on Episode 11 of the RunSohFast Podcast. Enjoy.

Choo Ling Er gives us our most inspiring episode yet! After a near death bike crash in 2010 that resulted in 2 broken legs and a blood clot in her brain, Ling Er has embraced her second chance at life to the fullest - becoming Singapore's greatest ultra-endurance athlete ever. From 2018-2023, her 9hr 38min Ironman performance was the best by any Singaporean - man or woman.

Overcoming an unfortunate race week bug, Romaine raced 2 season's best at the Taiwan Open 800m and 1500m, tentatively earning a place on Singapore's team for the World Road Running Championships (Mile).

After over 10 years with Coach Elangovan and Trackstar Athletics, Romaine embraced a new coaching setup and training philosophy at the start of 2026 when she joined Coach Khai and Oldham Athletics. We explore a typical week of training with Oldham middle distance, and more.

We host our first non-distance running guest! National Record Holder Kerstin Ong joins the pod and recounts her journey as a full-time influencer funding her athletics career and setting national records on the side.

This episode provides a deep dive into every training session of a record breaking season that rewrote Singapore running history. In 2021, Soh Rui Yong achieved the supposedly impossible - breaking a long distance Singapore national record in sweaty Singapore, at a run-down Kallang Practice Track where potholes added a cross country element to any track race.

Guest host Amir takes the mic and puts Rui Yong in the hot seat for this one!

3 years ago, Amir secretly applied to study at the University of Western Australia without the knowledge of his parents. That was a big step in breaking his first national record, and making the 2025 SEA Games athletics team.
