Army Sports Institute's (ASI, Pune) Elam Singh, who clocked his personal best timing of 2:18:27 at the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon in 2012, finishing second, hopes to better his timing this time and win the Indian Elite Men's race tomorrow. The 35-year-old runner, who hails from Uttarkashi in Uttarakhand is aware that, unlike last year, the Army contingent will be without any pacesetter, which will be additional pressure on them.
