onment.
On running: To keep myself fit, I run regularly outside of this marathon. I used to run about 20 km at a time. The main thing that keeps us (the team) going is the fact that we love to run.

{{/usCountry}}On age matters: The fact that I’m 46 won’t keep me from completing my goal, because I have run marathons like this before. Age does not bother me.
On marathon diet: We will eat mainly home food, like daal and roti and stay away from alcohol and things like that.
On achievement: Once you understand what you need to be the best , you get what it takes to help others and the environment.
On the challenge: I thought if we should run in the heat. But after a few days, we adapted to the heat.
