In this episode of The Candid fitness, I chat with Romil Barthwal, who is a legend when it comes to endurance sports. A jack of all trades and master of many, Romil has competed in several marathons, ultra marathons, cycling events and even triathlons. Some of his notable running achievements include the Boston marathon, La Ultra - a 111 km high altitude marathon from Sum to Leh via Khardungla Pass, and 185 km long 24 hrs stadium run in Delhi. He has secured the title of a super randonneur - a rare feat that one achieves after they finish 200km, 300km, 400 km and 600 km cycling brevets in a single year.

But it doesn't end there, he has even conquered the mighty Mount Everest and has led many other mountaineering expeditions. What I loved about our conversation is that it made me realise that he is a perfect example of an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. Unlike a lot of athletes he started at a much later stage of his life and fell in love with running. One thing led to another and he kept competing in different events. A very inspiring journey with lots of learning, he has been generous enough to share his struggles and how he tackled the various ups and downs throughout. Immense amount of value packed in this 1 hour episode, so make sure you listen until the end.

I hope you enjoy the episode, and if you do, please leave us a review on itunes. Connect with me on social media.
