@Josh : It took a lot of practice and perseverance, especially for a fat guy like me

@Prem : I’ll probably take the help of my friends to put up more details on a permanent page, but to answer few of your questions:

Training regimen – follow Hal Higdon’s marathon training chart Diet – no diet. Just try to eat more rice, etc. Eating before the run – nothing. Drink lots of water. Calories – Never counted ‘em During the run – lots of chikki and water Shoes – Nike Longest distance before the full marathon – 37 km I’ve written a little more about this previously.

@Sajjad : Thanks.

@Nitin : Hehe, yeah. It’s a wonder, considering my fitness last year compared to now.

@Akshay : Thanks

Awesome dude!! You are an inspiration to me, to try run a marathon sometime. Can you give more details, on what was your training regimen, diet, what you ate before the run, approx how many calories, you consumed during the run(solids? liquids), what shoes did you wear? what was the longest distance you had run before he marathon?……Please bear with me on these questions, but am just curious.

Wow! That is amazing, I would need to train for a long long time before I could think about doing anything like that. I bike to work each morning, but running just takes it out of me. That is really amazing!
