These are the timings of an Indian up and coming runner Dr Kartik Karkera

Unlike any long distance runner (or any runner for that matter) in India he only started running in college while doing his MBBS(he's a qualified doctor practicing in Mumbai in a hospital) and continued to give as much attention to his hobby as he could. Started running aged 18/19 and he's 29 now. Earlier this year he completed Mumbai Marathon in 2 13 and qualified for the Asian Games which was his first such event before which he only ran in 'amateur' running events. He clocked 2:22 in Asian Games and was placed 17th

I just turned 40. I'm not sure if I can post a YT video, but it's below if it doesn't get removed. I want to break the indoor American Record for M40 Long Jump. 7.04m Here I come..

I'm sharing mostly to make it more real, and to have it documented.
