Saiyami Kher, who made a stellar debut with
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirzya alongside Harshvardhan Kapoor, is fast
emerging as a celebrity sports icon for the youth. The talented actress, who successfully completed a
full marathon two years ago, was seen runing the half marathon (21km)
this year too after months of planning and perseverance.While running a marathon is no easy feat, being a
sportsperson or having played sports often while growing up is an obvious
advantage for Saiyami. “Running has always been an integral part of my training
besides the sports which I keep playing often,” Saiyami informs.
While most people would start with a half marathon
before moving to a full marathon, Saiyami thinks differently. “I started
training for it while shooting for Mirzya in August in Ladakh before I ran in
January. While I used to run an average of 8-10km
in Mumbai, when I was in Ladakh, I used to run after shoot and obviously,
because of low oxygen, I used to struggle and run only for 3-4km.
When I came back to Mumbai, I immediately started running for 16-18km
without a problem. That is what altitude training does to your body,” she adds.
The young actress took help from her friend
Shyamal Vallabhji, a physiotherapist and a marathon runner to chart her progress
and push her to follow her set goals
