An officer fro the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) shared about his unorthodox commute to work in order to beat the morning rush hour traffic and crowds.
He ran a whopping 24km from his home in Woodlands all the way to his workplace at Jurong Camp.
The route he selected seemed quite serene enough, with few people in sight, which is understandable considering that not many individuals would willingly run a distance of 24 kilometres to go to work.
Remarkably, he embarked on a journey from his residence in Woodlands all the way to his office located in Jurong.
To document his adventure, the man shared a TikTok video on Wednesday, June 14th.
According to his account, he woke up at around 6 am to prepare himself for the run. Following some stretching exercises as part of his warm-up routine, he commenced his expedition towards the western part of Singapore.
Despite the daunting nature of the challenge, the man faced it head-on and seemed comfortable during the initial segment of his run. He traversed familiar traffic junctions and stations along the way.
He ran through and passed by the Singapore Turf Club, before finding himself among the shrubbery and trees of the Railway Corridor.
After covering a few more kilometres, passing through residential neighbourhoods in Jurong and Pioneer, he successfully arrived at his office inside Jurong Camp.
Although it remains unclear whether he made it to work on time, the accomplishment of reaching his final destination impressed many viewers.
A netizen asked him how long did it take for him to reach his workplace, to which he revealed that he clocked in 2 hours and 38 minutes during the run.
