Today's guest Gaurav Kumar is an officer of the Indian Army, a type 1 diabetic runner and a triathlete. #Runforthosewhocannot is his mantra when he started taking running seriously and eventually got into triathlon.

In this episode we talk about his biggest motivation for staying active, the challenges of being a type1 diabetic athlete and how he manages training and racing with his condition. For someone who faced a lot of setbacks in life, his positive outlook on life is quite inspiring. I hope you'll enjoy this.

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 and hitting the bell icon 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.
