#77 "It is important to reassess our priorities as we go through various stages of life" - Nagaraj Harsha, Runner and Triathlete!

<p>Nagaraj Harsha is a runner and a triathlete who has been in the sport for over a decade now. His journey both as a person and as an athlete is pretty inspiring. For me it is a lesson on how one can build a life for oneself through sheer determination and passion despite coming from very humble background with very limited resources.</p> <p>In this episode, we talked about his running and triathlon journeys over the years. We talked about why he took a step back from triathlons after more than 5 years of living and breathing triathlons. We explored his running journey and how it is helping him find balance to enjoy both work and life outside of work.</p> <p>0:00:00 &nbsp;Intro</p> <p>0:03:50 &nbsp;What is work for him, pursuing MBA from IIM</p> <p>0:05:45 &nbsp;Starting work life early as kid to aid his mother</p> <p>0:11:15 &nbsp;Earning support for education through sponsorship&nbsp;and scholarship&nbsp;from Compassion International</p> <p>0:15:50 &nbsp;First job after graduation and dealing with boredom through trekking with Chennai Trekking Club</p> <p>0:21:44 &nbsp;Starting running to lose weight and progressing</p> <p>0:26:34 &nbsp;Getting into cycling and getting mugged on his first ride</p> <p>0:35:10 &nbsp;Being inspired by Dipankar and getting into Triathlon</p> <p>0:37:20 &nbsp;Signing up for 70.3 Colombo&nbsp;in 2012 and the race experience.</p> <p>0:46:20 &nbsp;Ironman journey and perspective change and learnings over the years</p> <p>0:58:55 &nbsp;Moving away from Triathlon and sticking to running</p> <p>1:10:25 &nbsp;Getting to sub-3 marathon, progress in running with focus on a single sport!</p> <p>1:19:10 &nbsp;Meeting his education sponsors and how did they feel</p> <p>1:26:20 &nbsp;Tips for working athletes</p> <p>1:30:05 &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
