This episode is brought to you by Findbetter.ai. Find better is a social networking app for cycling & running enthusiasts to discover and shop together. For a cycling enthusiast like me it is a treasure trove to find all sorts of bikes and accessories both used and brand new. I tend to get a lot of DMs asking for where to find a bike on a budget etc. Nowadays I tend to direct them to the Findbetter app. It is completely free to use and is available both on Google Play and the AppStore. Download and you can follow me on the app. I'm there as bikeyvenky on the app. Enjoy the podcast! Today's guest Drabir Alam is a cyclist from Bangladesh. He is an amateur rider who is part of Team BDC. He is a winner of multiple medals at Bangladesh Nationals. He also represented Bangladesh at the UCI World Championships in 2022 in Australia with the sole goal of putting the Bangladesh map in the list of countries taking part. I have interviewed him twice before on this podcast. If you have not heard them, you might want to check out episode #65 and episode #103 where we talk about his transformation journey and his experience at the world championships repectively. He was in Bangalore for a couple of days on work and I couldn't pass up on a chance to sit down for a chat with him again. In this episode we talk about the growth of cycling in Bangladesh. We talk about riding and training through the month of Ramadan while fasting. We also revisit his experience at the world championships and talk about his triathlon goals. It was a lovely conversation which I hope you'll enjoy as much as I did. 0:00:00 Intro 0:04:33 Talking about Bangladesh cycling nationals 0:12:25 Pacing for ITT and TTT at the nationals 0:16:17 Riding and training through Ramadan month of fasting 0:22:31 Discussing about healthy diet 0:25:30 How cycling helped in his professional life 0:36:27 World championships 2022 experience 0:51:53 Tour of Friendship, Thailand 0:57:10 Closing remarks About the Podcast The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports.

Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job. If you like this, share with friends who could be interested.
