Our guest on this week's episode of Panchayat is 1 in a billion. Dr. Kaustubh Radkar is the first ever Indian to finish an Iron Man race, first and only Indian to complete 25 Iron Man Races, only Indian and Asian to complete an Iron Man race on all 6 continents and only 4th person in the WORLD to have finished an Iron Man race on all 6 continents. We talk about his journey from his 1st race in 2008 to his 25th race in 2020, what it takes to be an Iron Man and his coaching venture Radstrong where he coaches athletes for marathons / Iron Man races around the globe. We also brush upon a lot of other topics like the poor infrastructure in India for athletes, his efforts on how to overcome those shortcomings, overcoming the fear of failure, difference between being fit and just being in shape and much much more! Tune in to listen to his thoughts!
