Today's guest, Vivek Radhakrishnan is one of the pioneers of Bangalore cycling and the Indian cycling. He was the founder of the first professional cycling teams in India. To this day, it has been impossible to replicate the model and the success of that team. He is one of the strongest masters riders we have in the country. In this episode he shares his journey in endurance as he donned many hats as son, a husband, a doting dad, a designer, a business owner, a cycling team founder, a plant based evangelist, a kick-ass master's rider and a lecturer over the years. We get into how he has excelled in all of them! This episode covers: Intro Happy Healthy Me Superfoods! Initial days of cycling - The real falling in love Touring through India in 1994!

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. The goal is to provide inspiration, training tips, mental hacks, time management and life-style advice through conversations with some of the best in sport, from athletes to coaches. 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 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.
