A banker 'crazy' of marathons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
He is a banker who believes quite literally in running the extra mile. Meet Prasun Choudhary,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a relationship manager with ICICI Bank and an avid ultra-marathon runner.
Ultra-marathon is a race which is usually longer than a marathon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Choudhary finished 16{+t}{+h} out of 80 participants at the Craze ultra-marathon in Singapore where he competed in the 101-km category.
Passion for running is a must for competing in this gruelling event,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he says. Asked what prompted him to compete in such an arduous race, Choudhary said the first time after completing the Standard Chartered marathon last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I did not feel dead tired. It then struck me that I could try for something more challenging. It all about one ability to finish.
It took Choudhary 19 hours 30 minutes and 23 seconds to touch the finish line,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Usually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is no prize money in such events and it is the zeal that keeps runners going. It is highly individualistic and rarely one sees people forming teams to run.
is because every runner has his or her own way of training,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. says Choudhary,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
He used to run 15-20 km every Tuesday and Thursday and hit the gym to work on his leg muscles on Mondays,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Wednesdays and Fridays while training. and would run non-stop for five hours even if he got tired. This regimen was religiously followed for five months prior to the event.
In addition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he participated in two full marathons and as many half marathons as he could before he took part in the Singapore event in late September.
The only investment required is a pair of good running shoes ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a hydration bag which can store up to 2.5 litres of water, power gels that give instant energy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a small first-aid kit and a mobile phone.
Choudhary feels it is more a mind game while running such long distances. running a half marathon one might take two hours to finish the race. But the same person takes a longer time for 21 km while running a full marathon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], given the fact that he needs to conserve energy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he says.
