SINGAPORE - National runner Goh Chui Ling broke the women's 2.4km national best time on Sunday (Jan 9) after clocking 7min 58.50sec in the 2.4km challenge at the Pocari Sweat Run.
At the Home of Athletics, Goh, 29, rewrote Vanessa Lee's timing of 7:59.69, which was set in September last year. Lee finished second on Sunday in 8:14.18, followed by Joyceleen Yap (8:48.72).
Over 350 runners signed up for the challenge, which took place over the weekend. On Saturday, national middle distance runner Jeevaneesh Soundararajah set a new men's 2.4km best (6:52.97).
Goh's feat on Sunday comes a few months after she set a national best in the women's 10km (road) when she clocked 36min 28sec at the Foulee Venissiane race in Lyon, France, in November last year.
