Today's guest, Akshay Jaitley runs a law firm and a sub3 hour marathon as well. Although he rides a bike and can drop quite a few of us, I think he identifies himself more as a runner than a cyclist. In this episode he shares his journey in endurance running and cycling and what keeps him going despite a busy schedule. This episode covers: What does he love more? Cycling or Running? Initial years of the running journey Training for the first marathon Changes from first marathon to the 11th marathon Effect of Nutrition and Strength on running - Kenzai His training over the years - Volume and polarized training Cycling- TFN Memories Kaladungi and riding in the North vs that in South Riding outside the country, Alps, Dolomites etc Tips for working athletes Some Links Below: Working Athlete Community on FB.

Book recommendation: Endure by Alex Hutchinson 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 full-time/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.
