Congratulations to all Sunbird participants for outdoing yourselves and achieving your dream goals of achieving Personal Bests (PBs) and desirable performances at the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) 2012.
It was our pleasure to work with you and train together during the 12-weeks of Ops Sunbird structured marathon training. We are heartened by your successes at the SCMS and other overseas marathons from your dedication and commitment at Sunbird training.
The following are some of the kind words you have for Ops Sunbird training and Team FatBird. Although we can only extract a sample of the strong endorsement you have for the Sunbird training, it is in no way all of the great feelings the rest of the Sunbirds have for us in your hearts. Do feel free to post into facebook or write to training@teamfatbird.com for your feedback and areas of improvement for our Team FatBird's training programs.
Thank xiu fang, eric and all happy group trainers for your patience and guidance during Ops Sunbird training. I am a happy marathoner now

As compared to SCMS 2011, there is improvement of 40 mins. Once again, I would like to thank Team FatBird (TFB) pacers and organizer for a wonderful 12 weeks training program. If time permit, hope to train with TFB again.
- Ghee Koon, Sunbird Group 2, Full Marathon PB
I have enjoyed the Sunbird training program and managed to achieve the target group pace in my HM yesterday despite my ITB pain strikes me again after the 16km mark and I have to drag myself to Padang. Thanks to all my Sunbird group 4 pacers especially Bev Sum and Huang XiuFang whom I have been clinging onto their pace during each training that I managed to run consistently now.
- Nelvis Cheong, Sunbird Group 4, Half Marathon PB
Thanks Fatbird for the trainings! Despite not consistently maintain the routine, I still able to maintain my sub two for 21 km. this is all becoz the foundation built up during the period of training with FatBird.!
- Alvin Wong, Sunbird Group 1, Half Marathon sub-2h
It was a privilege as well as an enjoyable experience to train with the TFB. Personally, to be able to finish the event in "one piece" and without adverse effects is a personal victory.
