In this episode I talk to Mihir Deo. Mihir is one of the fastest triathletes we have in the country with a timing of around 4:30 for 70.3 distance. In this episode Mihir shares the learnings from his journey in the sport so far. We talk in depth about his lows with injuries and how he is able to bounce back from them. He also shares his race pacing and nutrition strategies for 70.3 races. I had a great time talking to him about his journey. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

About the Podcast

The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports. The goal is to provide inspiration, training tips, mental hacks, time management and life-style advice through conversations with some of the best in sport, from athletes to coaches. If you think you can benefit from this, please consider subscribing so that you don't miss the weekly episodes in future.

Who is a working athlete? Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job.
