Venkata Durga Prasad Koda

During Covid I had some issue with health. After some tests the told that I was in border line of diabetes. It was shocking to me and I started with walking 2 to 3 kms every day.

One fine day one of my friends told me about NMDC marathon and insisted me to register for 5K. You also have training sessions for the same by Hyderabad runners near Alwal. There I started my journey to running from 5k to 42k in 3 years and continue as many years I can.

Grateful to Hyderabad runners society, Alwal runners group and all running friends who inspired me in achieving this. Special thanks to Abhijeet Mudnarkar, Prashant Morparia, Dr.Madhumati, Murali Karanam, Madhu Babu for their support and suggestions.
