#89 "I Tend To Get More Done At Work If I Get My Bike Ride Done First Everyday" - Shankar Jayaraman

<p>Shankar Jayaraman has been my teammate at Spectrum Racing for more than 10 years now. He is someone who does not make too much fuss about being busy and goes about his rides and workouts with the same cool as he does managing a big team with million dollar deliverables at work.</p> <p>In this episode, Shankar shares his endurance journey and how he is able to balance work, staying fit and having fun riding a bike. We also talk about coming back from serious injuries and carrying on riding. We recorded this episode on the banks of river Badra in Kalasa when we went on a bike trip a couple of weeks ago. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.</p> <p>0:00:00 &nbsp;Intro</p> <p>0:02:30 &nbsp;Sports as a kid</p> <p>0:03:15 &nbsp;Getting into cycling with commuting and then taking part in BBCH</p> <p>0:06:10 &nbsp;Taking part in BBCH, Climbing to Kilimanjaro and riding Tour of Nilgiris 2010</p> <p>0:14:30 &nbsp;Giro Delle Dolomiti in 2014 and 2015, Tour of Friendship 2017</p> <p>0:17:30 &nbsp;Sikkim trip and tradition of riding to Goa during new years</p> <p>0:24:10 &nbsp;Managing training and riding while being busy at work</p> <p>0:29:10 &nbsp;Coming back from serious injury/accident</p> <p>0:36:20 &nbsp;Tips for working athletes</p> <p>0:56:30 &nbsp;Closing remarks!</p> <p>Some Links Below:</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/334744737743027/">Working Athlete Community</a> on FB.</p> <p><a href="https://anchor.fm/bikeyvenky/message">Link to Anchor Voice messages</a></p> <p>About the Podcast</p> <p>The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports.
