Athletics Journey
Saish started his running journey after class 10th to lose some weight and get fit.
He ran his first 10k for fun in 58:00 mins and then he fell in love with the sport. Slowly and steadily he started to chase his old PB’s and it became his addiction to cut down on his old timings and run as long as he could to test his endurance capacity. He firmly believes that with consistency and hard work anyone can achieve anything and he also believes that his only competition is with himself. So he set a goal for himself which was running 12hours at Stadium Run and covering at least 100k in the race so he trained hard for it and Brooks team helped him with this providing everything he wanted for this race to happen. He raced this event successfully and finished with a podium in his first Ultra Run. Still he is going super strong with his running journey.

Athletics Journey
Raja started his running journey in 2016 to begin to get fit. Over the past decade, he has worked in the telecom industry. His work responsibilities made it very difficult for him to keep a
healthy diet and maintain a healthy lifestyle. In the beginning,he used to run whenever he had free time to keep himself fit, then he started short-term goals. Eventually, he decided to take part in long distance running events and
soon this became his passion. His mindset changed and he felt like a free bird with so much confidence.That became his refuge and his biggest strength which is getting stronger and stronger with every day. "Running is like meditation for him. It gives him enough time to introspect about various aspects of his life."
