From Overweight to Sub-3 Marathoner
Fondly called Along, the man who was once close to 100 kilograms before making a life-changing decision to transform his life and become the competitive marathon runner he is today.
How did he achieve this? And what kept him motivated, even during the toughest moments of his journey?
TERENGGANU MARATHON 2026
I prepared for this race over the past 8 weeks, and everything went smoothly. No injuries, no setbacks. My fitness improved significantly, and I truly believed I was ready to perform well. I trusted my training and knew I had put in the work.
But sometimes, things don’t go the way we plan.
Today wasn’t my day to break my PB.
Before I made the decision to stop, I fought until the very end. One thing about me is that when I train hard for something, I will give everything I have until the finish line. That’s why choosing to stop was not an easy decision.
Today, I chose to listen to my body.
Ending up in the yellow zone was not how I imagined this race would go.
I feel sad, disappointed, down, and honestly a little lost. Every emotion hitting at once when you know you gave your best but the outcome still wasn’t what I hoped for.
My dad reminded me that not every race will go our way. Sometimes, God has a different plan because He is preparing something better for us in the future.
This race may not have ended the way I wanted, but the fight, the discipline, and the effort were real and that still matters.
Special thanks to the medical team at Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah for taking care of me and ensuring I was safe, also to all my sponsor @asicsmalaysia@teamcoros.malaysia@corosmalaysia.official@bigbigplace@prommr.shahalam
and I promise to come back stronger and do better after this.🙏🏻

MAIWP RUN 2026🏃🏻♂️
Registered MAIWP 10K mainly to test my fitness before starting my next training block. Just recovered from a full marathon and almost two weeks of on-off fever and flu, so expectations were kept low.
I still don’t like 10K 😂 short, painful, no hiding. But today was never about a PB. It was about checking in with my body and seeing where my fitness stands post-recovery.
Big thanks to my sponsor @asicsmalaysia@teamcoros.malaysia@corosmalaysia.official@bigbigplace@prommr.shahalam ❤️
Finished healthy. That’s a win. On to the next block.💪🏻
