I ran for 4 years weighing 92 kgs ,without losing a single gram of weight. I course corrected my diet & lost 21 kg's in 3 months - The pivot is the diet. pls remember, whatever diet you embrace you need to ensure it can be sustained & also build strength along the way.

"The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen." One morning at the age of 39 years, weighing 94 kgs, I went for a run, off the fly and to my utter dismay, I found that I couldn't run more than 100 meters without gasping for breath. I told myself, this is not fair. The

Going to a gym and lifting weights in an air-conditioned room is relatively easier than getting up early in the morning and going for a run in the humidity. How many people agree ?

Delhi/NCR most unsafe place in India. This is what happened, in front of Rajouri Garden Police station, while I was walking back to my hotel, phone in my hand, when three people came on a bike and tried to snatch my phone, but they don't know my hands are stronger than my legs.

I have a lot of respect for women runners. It is easy for me to wake up at 4 am & go for a run , women have so much to balance, family , kids , in law's , society wanting them to play conformist. Whenever I see a women running on a road , in my mind I say "Mam you are great "

I believe the forties, fifties and sixties can be the best phase of your life once you prioritize your health. I was 94kgs and was struggling to run 100 metres, now weigh 68 kg and can run 161km in 22 hours. How I did it - A thread.

When I was struggling with my weight, (92 kg) I never thought I could run even 1 km. This is me running consecutive marathons (42.195 km ) on the Pune -Solapur highway. 84 km, this is at the 62 km mark. "First know your limitations, then push past them" #running #Motivation

Years of hard work, 4am runs, circumventing the temptation to fall for the samosa when it seductively beckoned me, innumerable trade-offs but in the end it was worth it. At the finish line of the Ultimate human race , @ComradesRace when all those years come down to one moment.
