Kyle Singh was warned by his doctor that if he did not change his lifestyle, diabetes could cost him his limbs.

At the time, Kyle was beginning to lose feeling in his hands and legs, and he struggled to walk through a shopping mall without needing to sit down. Six months after starting with short walks and a ten-second run, he completed his first 21.1KM half marathon. Now, he is preparing for the Cape Town Marathon.

In this episode of Coffee Charged Conversations, Kyle shares the health scare that forced him to confront the way he was living and the small, unglamorous commitment that completely changed his life.

He did not begin with an extreme training plan.

He started by walking around his estate. Then he tried running for ten seconds. Eventually, he committed to completing at least one kilometre every day - not because he feels motivated every day, but because he wanted to learn how to keep showing up for himself.

Kyle opens up about:

- The moment he began losing feeling in his hands and legs while driving

- His doctor’s warning that he could lose his limbs

- Why medication alone was not changing his health

- Starting his running journey with only ten seconds

- His commitment to running at least one kilometre every day

- How he handles days when he has no motivation

- Why he posts his difficult runs as often as his successful ones

- The pressure and comparison created by social media

- Training physically and mentally for his first half marathon

- Going from struggling to walk through a mall to completing 21.1KM

- Moving the goalpost immediately after achieving something meaningful

- Learning to celebrate progress before chasing the next milestone

- Leaving a higher-paying job to pursue work that gave him more purpose

- Redefining success according to your own values

- His journey towards the Cape Town Marathon

This conversation is not only about running.

It is about discipline when motivation disappears, being honest about the difficult days, choosing progress over comparison and understanding that success will look different for every person.

Kyle’s journey is proof that your first step does not need to be impressive. It only needs to be possible.

As Kyle explains:

“I’m proud of the person I’m trying to become.”

Whether your personal challenge is running one kilometre, changing your health, starting a new career or simply keeping one small promise to yourself, this episode is a reminder that transformation begins when you decide to show up again tomorrow.
