FIRST UP,
i am a 100% full blooded true blue SAF Commando, any of them here talk about how Commndos is such super being do not represent me,

i do not feel any disgrace of sort to state that i am one who can't achieved sub 9 for the 2.4 run, let alone sub 7,

all those Commandos who proclaimed to had done so easily please do not bluff yourself just because someone had stood up to challenge u,

of course there are those natural born runners who we called "lungless" that can achieve such feat

the others are just mediocres n getting by,

my point here is that, why would anyone stood as low to take up that challenge knowing full well what it takes to be a Commando

Running fast does not mean ur fit to be one, there is nothing to proof here.

He's a bit "Haolian" yes. But then this joker backed it up with action. I struggle to go under 9min. So, at least from me, his "Haolian" is justified. 👍🏻

Honestly i was more impressed with Vanessa! Damn she can run FAST!

2.4 Km is from cooper run . Created by Kenneth copper . This 2.4 km result in the field is equal to the result in lab, so is a very good tool to measure our heart . They have tried many timing like 8, 10, 12, 15, 18 etc and found out 12 mins the result in the fields is same with lab . Then for mass to use they use 2.4 km so easy to measure . So some lazy to run but want to know their physical level they just run a 2.4 will know how good is their heart . It is a very interesting and effective way, just run a 2.4 km and everything you have . A Compact all in one . So don’t need run that much to know .

Soh is not even the Asian games champion, only in SEA and he acts like he is Usain Bolt. No humility and sportsmanship. Ashamed that he is Sg athlete...

[recklessdrivinginsingapore]

Damned, props to the camera man for that tracking shot!

[samuelCWM]

amazing feat to be fair, but you wouldn't see Elliot Kipchoge or Josha Cheptegei organise a competition, and to be frank respond to haters with an egoistic tone..

[spiderjump]

elite marathon runners can run 42.6 km in 2hours 4mins
world record in competiion is 2hours flat
basically they can run 2.4 under 7 mins 17 time over ....

I hope people out there can appreciate what this guy (Soh Rui Yong)is doing. He might come across as brash and arrogant but I think plenty of self-confidence is necessary to do well especially in individual sports. Besides, there is a lot sacrifice and dedication required in the local sports scene - often a lonely, thankless journey. As for the rest of you who commented about doing your 2.4km run in more difficult terrains, conditions etc…..let’s face it, you won’t do much better even if you did it in an air-conditioned venue with a world-class track….

[yogayoggie]

In fact i like the challenge he issued to those people! Very good job Rui Yong! Keep it up! Do you know how much mental determination and physical training required to attend this!

[trippywong]

Fast yet can't run far and long 🤣🤣🤣🤣....pointless

[briangan]

I know this sounds weird but how do runners have such chiseled cheekbones? I have been exercising for years but my face is still fat

[hgkcdju]

My 2.4 5min flat

*flat on the ground

What's the point of being the best in Singapore when you're known for being arrogant and egoistic to the point you were willing to snitch on your own teammate over an award.

[eugenetan]

I know a number of student athletes and soldiers who can do a sub 8, but none I know have come close to sub 7; this kind of timing takes dedicated training (speed + endurance) over years!

So don't expect any surprises unless Cheptegei or Kipchoge shows up

[MeijingFitness]

Thanks for showing us what can be achieved with hard work, determination and science based training!

[jeromestavros]

Soh is no gentlemen. He ought not to compete anymore since he has such poor sportsmanship. Pathetic....

[HKspurs]

vanessa runs faster than 99% of army guys

[Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

2.4 under 7 mins. So far heard only the Nepalese Gurkas able to do it.
