Ep. #25 - Deepak Raj | Overweight Techie turned Top Indian IRONMAN Triathlete & Coach

Deepak Raj, our first Indian guest shares his journey as an overweight techie following the typical corporate path in India who then visited Germany on account of work and was inspired by the environment in the country to take up running and make a lifestyle change. He ran the Berlin Marathon and then tried a couple mini-sprint Triathlons but struggled with the swim & decided to stick to running. Then, after seeing an ESPN show about IRONMAN, his interest in the sport peaked again. He then went on to self-coach himself to his first 2 Ironman finishes and was hooked to the sport. Soon after, he decided to take a leap from his 14-year corporate job to change careers and become a full-time Triathlon coach supporting the community & working on developing the sport in India. The episode provides a good insight into the Triathlon scene in a country like India where the sport is just getting started & the journey of someone who's one of the top coach & athlete in the country (of 1.3 billion people!) with an array of achievements - 1 of only 3 Indians to race the IMWC at Kona, highest ranked Indian IM for the last 5yrs, coached 500+ athletes from couch-potatoes to Ultraman finishers, just to name a few!
