Sangram is has been making tremendous progress over the last few years . From someone who got dropped on the first flyover in a group ride, with his consistent progress, he has now become a podium contender in most club races. His stories of coming back from an ACL surgery and winning the 150km BBCH classic race in just a few months and coming back from a clavicle fracture and getting on the podium of the Nandi Epic in just a few weeks are a couple of examples of his resilience and a testament to his mental strength. It was an amazing conversation with some really practical take aways for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 0:00 Intro 0:05:19 Relationship with sport growing up 0:07:15 Losing weight before marriage, and getting into cycling 0:10:01 Getting into running and triathlon 0:14:37 What helped him lose weight 0:19:00 Training for running a marathon and triathlon or lack there of 0:24:10 Progress in cycling and brevets 0:33:10 Team Bros, Racing at BBCH and BAR 0:40:00 Importance of group riding 0:46:00 Cycling through the pandemic and getting strong 0:49:10 Knee/ACL surgery and coming back from it 1:02:17 Winning the 150km BBCH Classic 1:13:22 Crashing, Clavicle fracture and recovery 1:18:37 Nandi Epic Podium 1:25:00 Importance of showing up 1:32:20 Tips for a Working Athlete 1:33:20 Closing About the Podcast The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports.

If you think you can benefit from this, please consider subscribing so that you don't miss the weekly episodes in future. Who is a working athlete? 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.
