Till recently, up to say 2017, I was leading this unhealthy lifestyle. I weighed almost 100 kgs, with a lot of health problems. My fitness journey began in 2018 when I discovered my love for running. I ran my first fun run (5kms) in late 2018 and my first 10 kms in 2019. Since then I have been working on my endurance and strength and training for the long term.
