Milind Soman is a running crusader, who inspires thousands of people. But, did you know he initially “hated” running? On Global Running Day, the actor-model revealed that things changed after he completed his first 21 km marathon. Alongside a bunch of images from various marathons, Milind Soman wrote, “Happy global running day to you all! Whether you have already experienced the joy of running or are still to take your first step! Surprisingly, I hated running till 2003 but began to find incredible joy in it after completing my first 21km run, so you have to experience it correctly to know what it feels like. Start slow, even slower than your walking pace if necessary, and with small distances like 500 metres, and increase gradually as you get comfortable, it could be the beginning of a new life at any age. Happy running to all!”
Milind Soman is known for his work in Chef, 16 December and Bajirao Mastani.
