Milind Soman needs no introduction. The legendary model officially turned into an ‘endurance athlete’ last year after completing the Iron Man Triathlon. Milind Soman is one man who inspires everyone to get fit in a way that will benefit health in the long run. Definitely, this will inspire you.

The former supermodel, Bollywood actor and running enthusiast, Milind Soman, completed a course of a 3.8 km swim, an 180.2 km cycle ride and a 42.2 km run in just 15 hours and won the Ironman triathlon championships last year. He has now taken up a new challenge. The 50-year-old is running the 527-km-long stretch between Ahmedabad and Mumbai with barefoot.

Milind Soman Barefoot Challenge:

Soman started his run from July 26 onwards and managed to complete a massive distance of 67 km’s on the first day to reach Anand. On the second day, he completed another 62 km’s. Out of the 527 km’s, Soman’s covered almost 130 km’s in just two days. In a video posted on his Facebook page, Soman is seen running with barefoot and it doesn’t seem to bother him at all.

Milind took to Facebook to share this news with his followers. He wrote,

“There are two reasons why I, a national-level swimmer, have become so enamored of running. The first is logical: running and walking are natural ways to keep fit; also the easiest and most convenient, ”

“But the other reason is that, even when I was a child, I wanted to run a marathon. And when the annual Mumbai marathon started in 2004, I knew I had to take part. There was no way that I could not run a marathon in my own city. So I took part in the half marathon with Gul Panag, and I was hooked. I had an amazing feeling of achievement after that 21km run – it’s actually quite a distance! But I trained for three-four months, and found it very easy.”

We wish Milind Soman all the best for this goal and may he continue to inspire us as he usually does. This inspires us a lot.
