General
BREAK
In 2015 he took a break from competing after struggling with migraines. He returned to the sport three years later. "I was disheartened [with his doctor's recommendation to take a break from the sport] but I decided to move on. What helped was that I was transferred to South Africa to be a part of the UN peacekeeping force. I stayed there for seven months, but after returning I started to miss competing. I quickly realised that I wasn't a young 24 year old anymore. Everything was tougher. Training for the 50km event, at times, I felt, 'What is the point, why go through so much agony again?' But I was motivated from the fact that most top marathon runners and race walkers are over 35." (tribuneindia.com, 17 Feb 2020)
