Leading business names share what they are doing new for the upcoming marathon season. Here is a checklist of their goals as they lace up their shoes.

Speed Workouts The Way To Go

15 Jan, 2020

Rashesh Shah CEO, Edelweiss Group “This time I’m going to do the half marathon in Mumbai and the full in Tokyo in March. I have my runner’s group, where we do speed workouts twice a week. There are about 20 of us who are going to the Tokyo Marathon together. Earlier we used to only do distance [training], but now we do speed workouts on a 400-metre track.”

Improving Agility, Focus & Speed

15 Jan, 2020

Nikhil Arora MD, GoDaddy India “While I change my daily workout to prepare for an upcoming marathon, I believe in being consistent in my fitness routine. My regular regimen includes a mix of steadystate and high intensity training (HIIT) workouts. On weekends, I raise the intensity and put in about three to four hours, usually early in the morning, for long runs. I have recently started training in boxing. It builds up a lot of lower body endurance as you are on your feet and moving all the time. It’s also helping me improve agility, speed and focus.”

For The Charity

15 Jan, 2020

Shanti Ekambaram President, consumer banking, Kotak Mahindra Bank “I’ve been running the marathon for 12 years and for me, there are two parts to prepping. One is the physical training, which I do four times a week, and the other is raising funds for charity. I run mainly to raise funds and that is what keeps me going. The rest, the trainers take care of.”

A Strong Regimen

15 Jan, 2020

Gagan Banga MD, Indiabulls Housing Finance “Over the years, I’ve followed a strong regimen in the run-up to marathons, with greater intensity in the running season from June to January. Last year, the Mumbai Marathon was midway through my training for the Tokyo Marathon, so I was deep in the grind of things. This year, however, has been a busy one and I have been unable to maintain the regular rigour. I am currently getting in around 40-45 km a week spread across three to four days.”
