Today when I passed by the Lord
Venkateswara temple on the Beach road in my first loop at around 4:30 AM, I said a silent prayer.
For one having decided to not keep a count of mileage, it was a milestone
requiring acknowledgement. It was 8KM into my run today, the 32nd day
running totaling to a 1000KM uninterrupted. I know after what Sameer Singh, the
faith runner, has done, all runners gloating about 10*21KM etc., has stopped.
He did the unthinkable of 100*100KM. After, reading about it, I made a pact
with myself. I would replace his 100K per day with a more manageable 32K and
instead of aiming for 100 days, I planned to go on as long as possible unbroken.
I compare it to Snooker where each visit/break is counted by the number of
points scored. My last attempt ended tantalizingly close to 1000K on the 29th
day. The idea is to continue uninterrupted the daily diet of 32K and silently
prepare for the 100K attempt after retirement, Insha-Allah, Knees willing!
Really enjoyed reading about your milestone and the dedication it takes to push through those early mornings and long runs! It's always motivating to hear from someone who's chasing personal goals with such consistency. On a related note, I’ve been curious about how nutrition affects endurance training, especially with the growing interest in the vegan diet in india. It’s great to see more people exploring plant-based options to fuel their fitness journeys. Keep up the great work—looking forward to more updates!
