He is the real Iron man of this period.
Milind Soman model turned long distance runner continues to inspire us, at the age of 51 he puts most of the youth to shame.
Forget all the puny marathons where an athlete runs an odd 42 kilometers, Milind Soman runs marathons which are only in the multiples of 100!
He recently completed the toughest marathon in the world “Florida Ultraman” over a course of three days. It is 517.5-kilometer race divided into swimming, cycling and running. After successfully completing the marathon, like always he celebrated it with his mother.
Along with Milind Soman, four other Indians - Abhishek Mishra, Kaustubh Radkar, Prithviraj Patil and Manmadh Rebba – completed the race. A proud achievement indeed!
This truly “Ultramarathon” justifies its name.
Day one: 10 kilometers of swimming and 142 kilometers of cycling.
Day two: 276 kilometers of cycling
Day three: 84 kilometer run
He is the only mortal who could cover half a thousand kilometers barefoot.
Yes, Soman was the only barefoot runner in the race, shared some images on his Facebook page. One where he is hugged and given a kiss by his mother stands out.
Milind Soman even today encourages people to exercise every day and brings the culture of being fit back to India.
