Pro Triathlete Luke Chua on Resilience, Longevity, and Redefining the Singapore Sporting Dream PHOTO: SPORTPLUS.SG / FLAVIA SIM For Singapore’s national triathlete and multi-SEA Games competitor Luke Chua, the path of being a professional athlete is never linear. It is a series of pivots, set backs, and deep-seated commitments that demand a different kind of resilience. As we celebrate Global Running Month, we sat down with the ASICS athlete to discuss the evolution of his "why," and the reality of elite performance in Singapore, as well as the gear that powers his pursuit of greatness. From Singapore Schooling to the International Stage Luke Chua’s journey began at the Singapore Sports School, where he transitioned from competitive swimming to the demanding world of triathlon. His natural aptitude was clear from the start—after clocking a blistering nine-minute 2.4km run during his National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA) test, he was encouraged to try aquathlon, where he finished second in his very first race. Since then, Luke has become a force in Southeast Asian sports. He made his international breakthrough by winning a silver medal as part of the Mixed Relay Team at the 2019 SEA Games. His momentum continued through the years, culminating in a successful campaign at the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand, where he secured another silver medal in the men’s aquathlon team relay alongside teammates Bryce Chong and Tey Yi Jun. PHOTO: SPORTPLUS.SG / ERIC CHEONG The Evolution of His Athlete’s "Why" 2025 was a year defined by its highs and lows for Luke—a rollercoaster that tested his resolve. Yet, when asked how his core motivation has evolved, he views his sport with the maturity of a long-term relationship. "My relationship with triathlon is much like how any other relationship works. It takes two hands to clap," Luke reflects. "Sometimes one has got to give and one has got to take. Triathlon took a lot out of me in 2025, and yes it has been rough, but there will come a time where the roles will be reversed and triathlon will give me what I deserve." This perspective is exactly what makes Luke a cornerstone of the ASICS athlete family. For the younger generation of runners and triathletes—the A-Racers—he offers a blueprint for longevity built on stubborn optimism. "In the battle arena, it’s not the man who is the strongest that should be feared, but the man who keeps getting up," he says. "So when we hit a roadblock, we just need to keep going." PHOTO: SPORTPLUS.SG / JOHN YEONG Mastering the Craft: Logic Over Emotion Training at an elite level requires more than raw talent; it requires the wisdom to listen to one’s body. For Luke, the secret to longevity is removing the ego from the equation. This focus on logic over emotion is his secret to staying at the top. "It’s easy to make emotional decisions, so sometimes there is a need to take a step back and calm down to think rationally whether to push through or not. Having a coach is also crucial as it helps you see things from an outside perspective." "Being logical over emotional, and having a coach [is key]," says Luke. "It’s easy to make emotional decisions, so sometimes there is a need to take a step back and calm down to think rationally whether to push through or not. Having a good coach is also crucial as it helps you see things from an outside perspective." Defining a New Singapore Blueprint "Along the way, I wanted to prove people wrong in saying that you can’t do sports full-time," Luke explains. "I wanted to try and inspire the younger generation that you don’t have to follow the normal route of studying well and just going out to work—you have options." PHOTO: SPORTPLUS.SG / ALDRICH GOH Performance Through Partnership Luke’s career has been supported by his long-standing partnership with ASICS, a brand that provides the technical edge required for multi-sport dominance. To him, being an ASICS athlete is synonymous with the pursuit of excellence. "It means to be able to be at the top of your game," he explains. "Repping ASICS and wearing the products comforts me in knowing I have got the best of the best equipment out there, so I can just go out there and perform." When it comes to his daily rotation, Luke leans on reliability. For his "boring, beautiful" recovery miles, he reaches for the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS™ 27 or the NOVABLAST™. As for the highly anticipated Novablast 6 landing in the AW26 collection, Luke is optimistic: "I’m hoping to see if there is any advancement in the foam. The NOVABLAST™ has had good foam in the past which I do a lot of miles on and have had no injury with, which is exactly what I need when training at high mileage." And when it’s time to race? He keeps it simple. "White," he says with a smile. "White is pro." Leaving a Legacy for Singapore Sport As he looks toward his future endeavors, Luke is clear about the legacy he hopes to leave for the next generation of Singaporean athletes. It’s a call to break the mold and define one’s own success. "You don’t have to follow the Singapore blueprint. If you have a dream, chase it, commit to it," Luke asserts. "Pursuing sport in Singapore might not be the most glamorous thing, but it sure will be fulfilling." From the track to the transition zone, Luke Chua continues to prove that with the right gear, the right mindset, and the courage to keep getting up, the "Singapore blueprint" is only the beginning of what is possible.

Singaporean Runner Secures First International Podium with Historic 4:18.6 Performance PHOTO: THE BIG SERIES 15 JUNE 2026, Utrecht, Netherlands – Singaporean distance runner Shaun Goh has officially etched his name into the history books once again, setting a new Singapore national record for the road mile at the prestigious Big Mile Series in the Netherlands. Clocking an impressive 4:18.6, Shaun secured a third-place finish, marking his first-ever podium appearance on the international stage. This latest achievement further cements his dominance across various road distances, adding to his existing national records in the 5km and 10km road categories. A Historic Milestone for Singapore Running Reflecting on his record-breaking performance, Shaun expressed a mix of satisfaction and ambition for future races. "It feels really good to get this record, especially by such a narrow margin. Considering it was my first attempt at a road mile, I definitely feel I can shave off a few more seconds, but overall I'm satisfied with my race execution," said Shaun. PHOTO: BETTERMENT SPORTS For the 29-year-old athlete, the achievement is deeply personal. "This one means quite a lot to me. For now, it's nice to hold the Singapore road records from the mile through to the 10km." Despite his success, Shaun remains humble and focused on the growth of the sport locally. "The road mile isn't a distance that's commonly raced by Singaporeans, so I suspect this record won't stand for too long as more athletes start attempting it. If anything, I'd be happy to see that happen, as that means the standard of Singapore running is rising."

Earlier this month, he competed at the Puma Nitro Lange Laufnacht in Germany, clocking 14:45.29 in the 5000m. The performance saw him shave 10 seconds off his personal best, finishing just one second shy of Soh Rui Yong’s 2021 national record (14:44.21). Notably, Shaun’s time was faster than the gold medal-winning mark at the 2025 SEA Games (14:46.38), signaling his arrival as a major force in Southeast Asian middle and long-distance running. PHOTO: THE BIG SERIES Pioneering a Professional Future Shaun’s rapid ascent is supported by a groundbreaking partnership with Betterment Sports (BMS). In February, BMS signed Shaun as the inaugural athlete under its Professional Athlete Scheme, a pioneering initiative that bridges the gap between professional sports and full-time employment. Shaun Goh’s recent performance breakthroughs are bolstered by a new professional approach to his athletic career. Through a unique full-time athlete scheme, Shaun now benefits from the stability of a structured employment model that integrates competitive wages with comprehensive health and insurance benefits. This framework removes common logistical barriers, allowing him to focus his energy entirely on high-level training and international competition. Beyond financial and medical security, this model provides holistic career management, including the coordination of sponsorships and the development of his professional image. With the backing of partners like Embed Financial Group Holdings (EFGH), Shaun is provided with the consistent resources and support system necessary to push his physical limits. By bridging the gap between professional sports and career stability, this arrangement serves as a sustainable blueprint for Singaporean athletes aiming to excel on the global stage. #TeamSG #Athletics

Finding Purpose in the Pursuit: Resilience, Data, and the Drive to Do Hard Things PHOTO: SPORTPLUS.SG / ISIS ANG In the competitive world of distance running and endurance sport, the spotlight often gravitates toward podium finishes and record-breaking times. But for Rachel Longstaff, a rising talent in the Singapore endurance scene and a key member of the ASICS athlete family, the true measure of an athlete lies in the quiet, unglamorous moments between the races. Her journey isn't defined by a straight line to the top, but by the intentional way she navigates the peaks and valleys of high-performance sport. After a testing 2025 season where injury forced a pivot away from her SEA Games qualification goals, Rachel hasn't just returned to training—she has returned with a sharper, more evolved perspective. As part of our Global Running Month series, we sat down with the multi-sport athlete—a driven competitor, to explore how she balances the hunger for "all-in" performance with the wisdom of the modern, data-informed athlete, and why her ultimate goal is to shift the narrative of what’s possible for Singaporean endurance athletes. PHOTO: SPORTPLUS.SG / FLAVIA SIM Chasing More Than Just Personal Bests When injury disrupted her rhythm in 2025, it forced Rachel to strip her training back to its core motivation. Rather than becoming discouraged by the loss of competition time, she found a renewed clarity in her "why." "Setbacks and disruptions have a way of stripping everything back to the ‘why’. I’m still chasing performance goals, not because the times, results, and podiums are what I think ‘define’ me. But to prove to myself that I can do anything I set my mind to; and that consistency and dedication breed results." For Rachel, the evolution of her craft is now tied to a sense of community responsibility: "Another big why, now, is to prove to myself that I want to bring about and build something that lasts, represent a country I’m proud to call home, and show Singaporeans—specifically females—how much running and endurance sport can add to your life and experience of the world." PHOTO: SPORTPLUS.SG / ALDRICH GOH The Data-Driven Competitor Balancing the drive to push limits with the wisdom of when to pull back is a delicate art. In 2026, Rachel has moved away from the "more is better" mentality, opting instead for a calculated, evidence-based approach to training. "I’ve become a bit of a data geek," she admits. "When your brain is saying ‘one more session’ but your heart rate or HRV data says otherwise, the data is boss. I use my wearable recovery tracker to detect early warning signs of non-functional overreaching, and I act on that information rather than trying to rationalise through it." This disciplined restraint is how she stays on track, ensuring that her energy is reserved for the moments that truly demand maximum output. PHOTO: SPORTPLUS.SG / ERIC CHEONG Finding the Rhythm: Gear & The ‘Race Brain’ For Rachel, the right gear is more than just comfort—it is a psychological trigger that helps her transition into a competitive mindset. The Daily Workhorse: When it comes to logging the miles that build a base, she relies on the SUPERBLAST™ 3. "It does almost all of my unglamorous mileage: recovery runs, easy aerobic runs, and anything that isn’t a speed-session. I really do trust my Superblast 3s to keep me injury-free." The Next Frontier: Regarding the highly anticipated NOVABLAST™ 6, Rachel is eager to see the next evolution of her training rotation. "I’m excited to see whether the NOVABLASTS™ 6s refine the bounce, without sacrificing the endurance edge. They make easy runs feel super comfy, and that energy return makes the legs feel better than they otherwise would on a recovery day." The Psychology of Kit: While colour preferences take a backseat, functionality is non-negotiable. "When kit fits exactly right... that’s where your brain goes into ‘race brain’ mode. The minute I put on the ASICS cropped tops, I know I’m in track session or race mode." PHOTO: SPORTPLUS.SG / FLAVIA SIM A Legacy in the Making Looking toward the future, Rachel is focused on leaving a mark that transcends her own athletic statistics. By embracing coaching and opening up about her own journey, she hopes to pave the way for others to follow. "I want to make people think bigger about what’s possible for Singapore in distance running. I want the legacy to be: she showed up, she did hard stuff, she didn’t shy away from the things that scared her, and she took it seriously. Even if one person laces up because of something I did or said, that’s a legacy I’d be proud of." Ready to start your own running journey? Join the community and experience the ASICS difference. Whether you're chasing a new PB or just finding your rhythm, stay tuned to our Global Running Month series for more insights from the rising stars of the running world. But her vision extends beyond just the physical act of running. As Rachel steps into this new chapter, she is finding that the most profound fulfillment comes from the connections she builds along the way. Whether it’s through the camaraderie of a track session or the mentorship she now provides to emerging athletes, she is intentionally crafting a space where growth is communal. Ultimately, Rachel’s path in 2026 is a testament to the power of showing up—not for the accolades, but for the love of the process. As she continues to refine her training and share her insights, she serves as a vital reminder that every stride, every recovery day, and every lesson learned from a setback is part of a much larger, and more rewarding, narrative. For Rachel Longstaff, the journey is only just beginning, and the Singaporean running community is all the better for it.
