Fitness: How a Mumbai doctor aced the art of finishing ultramarathons

On an assignment in Aurangabad last month, Dr. Anand Patil, 60, visited the gym in his hotel. Midway through the session, another guest noticed his jersey that read ‘Comrades Marathon’ and asked Patil if he had participated the race. He was quite taken aback when I told him that I had finished Comrades on ten occasions,” Patil says. A week before his Comrades, Patil also finished the Ironman 70.3 Durban in a time of 7 hours 49 minutes. The run panned out without any glitches and though close to an hour slower than his fastest time on the Comrades, Patil was satisfied with his effort of 10 hours 51 minutes.
