For Honour & Glory

An Email to the Seniors

2006-03-28T00:09:00.000+08:00

*for those who didnt received it*

Dear all,

How are you people? Hope life's treating you good =) Had a short chat with Mel on the phone this afternoon, thus decided to draft this little email. (Pls help forward to Shidah and others who didn't receive this. Thanks!) Hmm.. I know the results were out last friday; hope you people are happy with your grades =).

I just wish to share one lesson I've learnt in life: where we are now is not as important as where we wantto go. Sometimes, we might have to take a longer ormore difficult path to reach where we want to be - but this is ok, as long as we never give up we will definitely get there - nobody can stop us except ourselves. [heh I sent 11 online applications and wentfor 2 interviews over a span of 2 years before I gotto be a teacher]

Our life is a summation of the decisions we make. We can choose to work hard or to give up. But as always I urge you all to always do your best, don't let thosewho care about us down, and much more importantly -never ever let ourselves down.

"I admit life's a constant struggle. But I have seenordinary people overcome seemly insurmountable odds. I know and accept that hurt and pain are part of living life but more importantly I know that they make us stronger, make us cherish and appreciate life. Therefore I simply cannot find it in myself to believe that we have come so far just to give up.. just to lose."

I am proud of all of you, I know you all have so much potential and so much to offer. Continue believing inyourselves. All the best in whatever you do and havethe courage and determination to always do what's right.

Training Explained.

2005-04-22T10:20:00.000+08:00

The following is an explanation of the reason for the various items in our training program:

STRIDING
Function: This is in fact one of the most important item in our training program. It give the runners a chance to "feel" their running style and correct it as they stride.
Points To Note: Run tall, On ball of feet, High knee lift, Straight back, Arm swing frequency & locked at abt 90 degrees, Toes and head pointing forward.

LEG DRILLS
Function: Drills include High knee lifts, Back kicks, Leg shuffle, Vertical bounding. Drills are done to break down running running into its various processes so as to target specific muscles for strengthening. To improve fast twitch muscles and adapt the nervous system to the body move at faster then normal speed.
Points To Note: Go for frequency, not distance. For vertical bounding, go for height.

CIRCUITS
Function: To strengthen muscles especially the core muscules (abs & back).
Points To Note: To ensure the stations are correctly done and ensure that the muscles being trained correspond to the aim of that specific station

ELASTIC BANDS
Function: To build up raw speed, strength and power
Points to Note: To not need to stretch bands at max, it is good enough as long as the resistence can be felt.

60-80-120
Function: To build up raw speed and power
Points to Note: Go for quality not quantity. Full rest between sets. Sets are to be done at 80%-100% Effort

200-300-600 (INTERVAL TRAINING)
Function: To build up the runners' "Speed Endurance" & "Lactic Acid tolerance"
Points to Note: Strictly adhere to rest time given. Sets are to be done at 70% effort, keeping to the timing requirements

LONG RUNS
Function: To build up staminal and runner's "based", thus enabling the runners the endurance to complete their intervals/Power training
Points to Note: Runners to run at their own pace but are to complete their require mileage at the given timing.

For Honour & Glory

2005-04-22T00:25:00.000+08:00

I believe its time to explain why the motto "For Honour & Glory" was chosen. This motto is identical to that of Singapore's Armed Force's elite organisation - the Commandos. It entreats each member of Chong Boon Track Team to achieve the following:-

Honour entails our team member to possess Integrity, Pride and Sportsmenship. We must always display Humility in victory and Graciousness in defeat. We and our actions are a reflection of the Team and the Team is a reflection of ourselves.

Glory can only be achieve through Hardwork and Perserverance. We must always remained Focused and Never Give Up. We know that as long as we have given our best, the entire team will be behind us, always.

There is a reason why Honour comes before Glory, because Glory without Honour is just a hollow victory.

We must always remember the above.
