For PK Satish, CEO of Kalpataru, it is the third time he is participating in any marathon. "I initially started running for fun. But my sugar levels turned out to be quite high and hence I continued running for exercise. So since a year-and-a-half I'm into running and take part in different marathons. I have also participated twice in Delhi marathon - in 2010 and this year which was held last month," he says. For this year's Sabarmati Marathon, he has enrolled for the half marathon.
"There are no preparation plans as such, because I have been running since many years and this time too, I will participate in Sabarmati Marathon. I am also a member of a group of runners and on weekends we organise a run," said Amit Kumar, western region head of Concorde.
Jaxay Shah, CEO of Savvy Infrastructure, had participated last year as well in the Sabarmati Marathon. "I'm into running since 1987-88 with the objective of staying fit. I was even a part of the jogging group at Rajpath and Karnavati. We run in a group of 20-25 people." He is participating in the half marathon this time and makes it a point to run 20-25 km every week.
Rajesh Brahmbhatt, MD, BSafal Group is also gearing up for the marathon. "Now since the marathon is nearing, I'm practising a lot. As such there are no special plans for preparations, but I have gradually doubled the practising time and run four days a week. I have been into running for five years. I have participated in the full marathon for my personal satisfaction. Also, I participated in Mumbai Marathon and Sabarmati Marathon last year. This time I am participating in full marathon (42 km)," he said.
Kaushal Mehta, COO and co-founder of Motif Inc said: "Generally, I run regularly two to three times a week. I also cycle and the last time I cycled 145 km in one go. I have definitely increased the distance of running."
