I am Sameer Mittal, a Cyber Security Architect and a Passionate Runner.
Life has an unkind way of giving reminders.
First came with heartbreaking news of two close friends passing away at the age of 32-37 unexpectedly. Both had fallen into the trap of, unhealthy life including partying style, and constant stress. Losing them wasn’t just shocking; it was personal. It shook me from deep inside.
Then I realized, how crucial your health becomes when you’re the sole provider for your family.
Then I started with a slow jog of 200 meter and going breathless in December 2022 at the age of 38 and continued with walk-jog principle. All of a sudden after couple of weeks (6-8), i started feeling like jogging continuously for 5-6 km without getting much tired and i remember i did my first official 10k in January 2023 at ION contribution Run by Coach Ravinder.
Moving on
After then, i connected with some runners /Mentors (Specially Sachin Khattar, Mamta Sharma) at Sector-12 Stadium, Faridabad, I observed them and got the advice on how to progress, Do's and Don'ts while running to stay long on track.
Since then, i am keeping my training ON and I run 3-4 days a week have completed Not sure how many Half Marathons as i run HM almost every week as a part of training, some FM, few ultras like Aravali Trail Run, Columbia Trail Run, Sundown Ultra, "The Border" by Hell Race, Lake 2 Lake ultra, 6 hour stadium run, 12 hour stadium run by Tuff man and Many more to come :)
My PB-
HM-1:55 in 2024 (ION '24)
FM-4:25 (CNDM '26)
50k-5:50 (Sundown Ultra '25)
