Coach Rahul Sharma - Founder INDIAN RUNNING DAY
Coach Rahul was leading a hectic and successful life, working in the Pharma
industry, until one day, he finally decided to call it quits and do something of his own.
One odd day, he got a shock of his life when he was diagnosed with high
cholesterol and hypertension and was prescribed lifetime medication. It was a wake up call for
him to pull up his socks and incorporate a healthy lifestyle forever. Coach Rahul chose to
follow the path less trodden.
The quest to be healthy and off medicine led him to Running and gradually it
became a basic life necessity like breathing, eating, sleeping. Ultimately his passion for
health and fitness, led him to becoming a certified running trainer and nutritionist, leaving
behind 2 decades of corporate life and venturing into the space of Health & Fitness.
What he started as fitness activities to stay in the best of his health, and cure
himself of the lifestyle diseases that had engulfed him, culminated into his passion which took
shape as CYRUNS SPORTS & WELLNESS.
According to the Coach, Fitness is to be enjoyed by everyone! Fitness provides us
with the ability to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle. The beauty is, you get to choose your own
fitness adventures – the options are endless.
As a passionate Certified Trainer, his role is to motivate, enable and make
training a fun and rewarding experience. He loves to see people achieve their personal health
and fitness goals, through a structured, tailored & scientific approach of fitness programs.
His Mantra of life is “Realize Your Potential”
