Known to be a pioneer in IT-related services in and around Lucknow. After serving at senior positions in Multi-Nationals as a software professional I decided to become an entrepreneur.
Despite being active in sports during his college life, turned obese later and weighed 98 kgs In Mar 2016. I was passionate about badminton but that did not help much. A couple of years back I started going to the gym for weight training and boxing but in the year 2017, I found his passion for fitness in running and worked hard which helped me lose 27 Kgs in two and half years with constant efforts and a healthy diet. Besides running I also love cycling long distances and have completed quite a few century and half-century rides.
My journey was not without hurdles and hiccups. Apart from minor setbacks here are just to name a few, right before my first half marathon event I had a minor fracture in the foot while playing badminton and was casted for 21 days and another month for recovery. Then comes Iliotibial (IT) Band injury after IDBI New Delhi Half Marathon. Achilles Tendon injury right before half marathon pacing assignment for Lucknow City Half Marathon 2020 which I did successfully despite shooting pain and swelling.
At the beginning of the year 2019, I became aware of low heart training and started following MAF. The acronym MAF stands for maximum aerobic function. MAF emphasizes the balance of all components of both health and fitness. That’s what this method is all about. We can accomplish this by addressing all areas of lifestyle that are under our control, including physical activity and exercise, food and nutrition, and stress. In doing so, we can significantly improve health and fitness, quality of life, control ageing, and achieve the most amazing feats.
Now I am an avid long-distance runner, a religious MAF follower, love to motivate people and share my knowledge, often compete in marathons and Ultras I say with confidence “how much fun running can be”.
