How I did it: trained my body for extended periods of mild abuse and kept running/walking for 6 and a half hours. overhydrated myself and that made me lose the hour of extra time in the end since I had to carry more weight than I am used to. Read how I did it…
started training for the Kaveri Trail Marathon being held next month. People tell me 1 month is too less a time but I think it can be done.
ran 10 km in a little over an hour today.
I mean you have to know the local language to get by in whatever city you live in. And then you have to learn English. Most Indians also live in a different part of the country than from which they hail. Hence they also learn their mother-tongue. I can speak English, Hindi and Bengali. I’ve known people who learn 8-9 languages since their jobs take them all over the country.
