Summary
More Singaporeans are lacing up their running shoes — from fun runs to full marathons. But as the number of races grows, so do the risks. In our hot and humid climate, pushing the body too far can be dangerous. Hospitals say they see a rise in heat-related injuries, and in the past year alone, two runners have died — just six months apart.
How safe are races in Singapore? And what does it really take to prepare for one? In the first episode, Talking Point host Steven Chia takes on his biggest challenge yet by preparing to run a half marathon. He undergoes a heat experiment and also gets advice from running coaches and heat stress experts.
