Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys talk to Soh Rui Yong on the phone from Tokyo where he set a new Singapore 10,000m national record of 30min 33.29sec on Saturday while running at the Nittaidai Challenge. He first broke the 10,000m record 11.5 years ago by running 31:15. Talking to Singapore’s five-time national marathon champion, Rui Yong, is preparing for an unprecedented test of endurance at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon next weekend. For the first time, the half-marathon and full-marathon will be held on separate days—December 6 and 7—and Rui Yong is going to run both and aims to win both. Fresh off his 2024 national marathon title, Soh is aiming for a historic double victory while keeping his eyes firmly on the 10,000m gold medal at the upcoming SEA Games in Thailand. With the athletics competition scheduled just days after the marathon weekend, his decision raises eyebrows: is this a daring strategy or sheer madness? Rui Yong shares his mindset, training approach, and why this double-up challenge is also a stepping stone toward a future in ultramarathons like South Africa’s Two Oceans (56km) and Comrades Marathon (88km). At 35, he’s redefining what it means to push limits, balancing ambition with resilience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors, joins “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to unpack a trio of global stories making waves. First, Typhoon Ragasa leaves a trail of destruction across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and southern China—triggering mass evacuations, flooding, and a $49 million relief effort. Next, we turn to President Trump’s fiery UN speech, which rattled European allies by attacking immigration, energy policies, and climate action. As COP30 approaches, global leaders are urging renewed commitment to climate finance amid rising geopolitical tensions. Finally, we take a lighter—yet slightly uncomfortable—look at Qantas’s new Airbus 321XLR jets, which debuted with just one toilet for every 90 economy passengers. The backlash has sparked debate over airline standards and passenger dignity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
