THINK running is all about pounding the pavement? Think again.
For towerrunning athletes, the real challenge begins where the stairs do — dozens of floors above ground.
In Episode 10 of the Life & The City podcast, host Farid Wahab dives into the fast-paced world of vertical running, where athletes race against the clock to conquer towering skyscrapers.
Joining him are world champion Soh Wai Ching and Malaysia Towerrunning Association president Ravinder Singh, who share their experiences in a sport that demands exceptional endurance, strength and mental resilience.
The trio discuss what it takes to compete in towerrunning, from gruelling training routines to the challenges of balancing the sport with their professional lives.
Also explored is why towerrunning has yet to feature in major sporting events and what needs to be done to raise its profile in Malaysia.
