Team Motiv8 athlete Vishwas Suryavanshi continued his string of sub 3-hour marathon performances at the Adani Marathon 2022. This time, he also clocked a PB by almost a minute, as well as qualifying for the prestigious Boston Marathon one more time.

Here is what his comments about the training and racing journey:

What was the most difficult thing you faced during training?
Managing professional commitments & at the same time giving 100% focus in this intense training was the major challenge. But as coach Atul says anything can happen in race or in life and it needs to be managed.

How did you keep yourself motivated during training?
Its a group that keeps motivating all the time, training with coach Atul, Kavitha, Krishna & Prashant kept the things moving with high motivation.

What was the most difficult thing you faced on race day?
Route along the canal was very dark & organizers had put some generators & lights but at every 3-4 km but overall it was very dark with no light and that was a major challenge.

What was your first though and feeling after the finish?
As always I felt couple of minutes extra could have been shaved off. But a second thought is that now, with this new time and PB,  I will be able to change my wave & coral for the upcoming Boston marathon in April 2023.
