Err.... something is wrong here. Nowadays even you do a work out, also can die. And I always thought only overweight ppl like me would end up dying early.
hahaha.... we are losing more NS man to Marathon than to any war. Wonder did the unit of Captain Ho sort of...... Err.... put pressure on him to train too hard for the pride of the SAF

It's a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't.
Army Capt. Ho's mission on earth is finished. -
It seems like those who work out very often ain't always more healthy.... maybe work out too much and damage their heart already.......

its not healthy for those who like to push over the safety limits.Originally posted by hloc:It seems like those who work out very often ain't always more healthy.... maybe work out too much and damage their heart already....... -
Jim Fixx was a running guru and author of two best selling books about the health benefits of jogging.
He collapsed and died of a massive heart attack during one of his daily run.
The news of his death sent all joggers running scared. That was back in 1984.
TodayÂ’s joggers have either forgotten him or have not heard of him.
Great distance running may be harmful. -
sad case
-
I think he over-exerted himself. He should have fallen out of the race once he felt his body can't take it.
Before the race, he should have covered that mileage during training so he should know his limit. -
lets all pray for him...
-
Could it be that he is under pressure from his unit to complete the race. The pressure might not have come straight from the top..... but he could have felt that he is letting his unit down if he falls outOriginally posted by royston_ang:I think he over-exerted himself.

The past years have seen a no of servicemen collapsed n died when running for their annual 2.4 km. Will this lead to an abolishment of the 2.4 km test?Originally posted by hloc:Could it be that he is under pressure from his unit to complete the race.

Perhaps abolishment of NS and reservist as well. Let's keep our finger cross.Originally posted by will4:The past years have seen a no of servicemen collapsed n died when running for their annual 2.4 km. Will this lead to an abolishment of the 2.4 km test?

Just the death of a single person during a run will not impact on anything else they would have scrap NS long long time ago...

I will prefer to have the IPPT without 2.4 km run.Originally posted by royston_ang:Perhaps abolishment of NS and reservist as well. Let's keep our finger cross. -
I am cool with 2.4 but hate standing broad jump, shuttle run, and chin-up. Let have IPPT with sit-up only (while monetary awards still stay).Originally posted by will4:I will prefer to have the IPPT without 2.4 km run. -
I also prefer sit up, shuttle run n 2.4 km.Originally posted by royston_ang:I am cool with 2.4 but hate standing broad jump, shuttle run, and chin-up. Let have IPPT with sit-up only (while monetary awards still stay). -
Remember coffin is for dead people, not only the old men.

So nowadays, the recruits in BMT must be having a very good life. Especially the obese company.
If you are the trainer, you will be too scare to push them, in case they also collapse and die. Wonder what our army will become?

Don't train them hard, they will be useless as Solider.
Train them hard..... and they drop like flys
