Under the leadership of Head Coach Jacky Ong, the PUMA NITRO Run Club makes its return with an intensified focus on the growth and progress of each individual runner
PUMA NITRO Run Club Returns with a Fresh Concept and Structured Training
After a brief hiatus, the PUMA NITRO Run Club – which started in 2023 – made a
triumphant return on Saturday morning, bringing with it a renewed vision and a more
structured approach to training.
Over 100 runners showed up at the PUMA 313 @ somerset store to experience a
taste of the club’s enhanced programmes, now designed to offer quality, structured,
and progressive training.
In attendance were the three PUMA athletes and national record holders Vanessa Lee, Shaun Goh and Ben Khoo, along with popular runfluencers and new and old faces from the running community.
A Club for Serious Runners
Under the guidance of Head Coach Jacky Ong, who boasts a wealth of experience
in run coaching and a seasoned expert in developing athletes at all levels, the club
now caters to runners serious about taking their training to the next level. Runners
can benefit from three tailored programmes – the Marathon, Half-Marathon, and
5/10km distances.
Speaking at the event, Coach Jacky emphasised the club’s commitment to providing
high-quality training with a lower coach-to-runner ratio, ensuring that every runner
receives the attention needed to improve and progress.
“We are serious about runners who take running seriously,” he stated, reinforcing the club’s dedication to performance-oriented training.
Taking a 1.5km jog to Fort Canning Green from the store, Coach Jacky led everyone
on a series of running drills to warm up first before splitting them into three groups
based on their preferred race distances.
The workout then involved 300m intervals – the format varied depending on which programme the runner chose – on the undulating terrain around Fort Canning Green. After working hard on the hills, runners jogged back to the store for breakfast before some shopping.
Free and Open to All, with Limited Capacity
The PUMA NITRO Run Club remains free for all to join; however, to maintain training quality, the number of participants per session will be capped. This ensures that runners benefit from a more personalised coaching experience and a strong sense of community.
The re-launch event set the stage for an exciting new chapter, with runners eager to take on their individual goals with expert guidance. Whether training for a major race or simply looking to improve their pace and endurance, members can look forward to a well-organised and effective training environment.
You may join PUMA NITRO Run Club here and runners are encouraged to secure their spots early to take full advantage of the exclusive training programmes.
