Listen "Episode 33: Sanctuary in Stride: Running Without a Reason"
Episode Synopsis
In Episode 33 of RunPod, we welcome Col Ashish Simalti (Retd), a D2 batch alumnus of AFMC and a seasoned paediatric intensivist, whose relationship with running is refreshingly personal.For him, running is not about mileage, medals, or medical metrics—it’s an indulgence, not an obligation. It's a quiet rebellion against pressure, a return to self when the world turns overwhelming. Over the years, running has become his sanctuary, a space to reflect, to recover, and to just be.This episode is a calming counterpoint to performance-driven narratives—a conversation about running for joy, peace, and presence. It’s about lacing up not to chase time, but to find it.
