#74 Life Long Running, Cycling in Different Parts of The World, & Finding A Happy Place - Hari Menon

<p>Hari Menon is a dear friend and a long time cycling teammate. He is also been a runner for four decades as well.</p> <p>In this episode, we talked about his running and cycling journeys over the years. As someone who has cycled and raced in various parts of the world and as someone who has been living and racing in Dublin for the last couple of years, he shared pretty interesting insights into the club level riding and racing there. It was interesting to note them and contrasting that with the situation in our part of the world to learn and implement a few things here. I really enjoyed this conversation. I'm sure you will too.</p> <p>0:00:00 &nbsp;Intro</p> <p>0:06:30 &nbsp;What is work for him</p> <p>0:08:41 &nbsp;Running and cycling for more than 40 years, different perspectives at different times</p> <p>0:13:15 &nbsp;Running in school days, college days and early mentors</p> <p>0:23:00 &nbsp;Getting away from sport, smoking and trying to get back to running</p> <p>0:27:00 &nbsp;Chancing upon a cycling tour, Tour of Nilgiris connect in 2008</p> <p>0:31:20 &nbsp;Meeting him for the first time in 2010 the TFN and Bikeszone &nbsp;connect</p> <p>0:37:10 &nbsp;Riding with Vicki, being a couple with same interests, riding in various parts of the world</p> <p>0:46:00 &nbsp;Running and cycling, do they help each other?</p> <p>0:49:30 &nbsp;Dealing with injuries, importance of strength training</p> <p>0:54:15 &nbsp;Riding in Dublin and other parts of world; how it compares to Bengaluru</p> <p>1:03:00 &nbsp;Club structure and club ride groups, events abroad etc</p> <p>1:25:05 &nbsp;Tips for working athletes</p> <p>1:26:50 &nbsp;Closing remarks!</p> <p>Some Links Below:</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/334744737743027/">Working Athlete Community</a> on FB.</p> <p><a href="https://anchor.fm/bikeyvenky/message">Link to Anchor Voice messages</a></p> <p>About the Podcast</p> <p>The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports.
