So, the last half marathon was somewhere in 2015 and then couple of full marathon over few years and then some runs here and there and I always watch the movie - Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992) - phew its been more than 30 years that the film was released..
Now there are many aspects of the movie I have Loved since a kid - it is hilarious, it is motivating, has Love and Heart Breaks too - so yeah - based on my current phase of Life i pick up different things. Also, yu all know my craze with 96 and 896 (read the post here - Post to 96) and this movie features a Jeep and it bars number 896 :D

The Ankle Weights ! |
So yeah - training part - I once checked and final training and race is just 20 mins of total movie - anyway - how Sanju who is shown as Happy go Lucky guy and sort of loser in sport and all - how rose to the challenge - defined his WHY and then went on to train (like a crash course) and eventually turned out a winner.. That inspires me and keeps me going during the run.
I'll keep it short as I need to wrap the day up. One peculiar scene I picked from the movie is cycling with ankle weights - so in Chennai I used to wrap 1 kg ankle weights on each leg and then cycle 30-40 kms. Also I used ankle weights while skipping and that helps me get faster. Also skipping and ankle weights - that was shown so nicely in the movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and that was released around the time I was in IIT in 2014 or so and I was training for the runs :)
Good Night for now and will be back soon !!
