He is an Indian diplomat with a difference and a fitness buff who juggles between his Diplomatic avatar as India’s Ambassador to Tunisia to a long distance marathon run who ran 170 km and ran consecutively for two nights. Meet Prashant Pise, the quiet lbut fitness buff Indian diplomat who is setting newer milestones every day.
And as he says, It’s a special moment to cross the elusive finish after two nights of non- stop running For 170Km with 10000m+ loof elevation around Mont Blanc traversing three countries – France, Italy and Switzerland and going through the emotional and physical rollercoaster for 46 hours toiling through hot weather, electrical storms, thunderbolts, barely eating or drinking anything for most of the time on unforgiving,technical, at times, gravity defying alpine ascents and descents, but, most importantly, beautiful natural trails.
In the end, there is no big reward than the sense of relief and personal triumph of completing the seemingly impossible journey by digging deep and finding every ounce of mental and physical strength to accomplish the mission. “These are little pleasures of running ultra distances in wilderness,” according to Prashant.
