“I remember when first time I ran one mile, I almost fainted at the end of the run. But regular motivation and training sessions by the Ustaads, enabled me to complete the triathlon event which consisted by 1.5 kms swimming,  40 kms cycling and 10 kms running at a stretch and a half marathon in the last week of training,” said Rahul Goel, an IPS officer undergoing training at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA).

Help us chisel it out,  said Mr Goel, who hails from President Murmu’s home state Odisha.
