At 58, Milind Soman shows no signs of slowing down. The former model-turned-actor dominated the Mumbai Marathon for the 21st time, completing his 14th full 42km in 4 hours 54 minutes. His wife Ankita Konwar matched the feat, pacing a friend’s first full marathon to a 4:40 finish.
Instagram lit up with Soman’s post-run glow: ’21st Mumbai Marathon, 14th full one. What a phenomenal event!’ He praised organizers like Anil and Vivek, declaring consistency as the ‘true key to success.’ ‘Started here, return here every year—grateful to all runners. You’re all legends!’
Soman’s life is a testament to disciplined living. Yoga sessions, daily runs, and extreme challenges define him. Just weeks ago, he swam 15km along Goa’s coastline, his longest ever. From 20,000-step jungle dashes to cycling marathons in sandals, his adventures blend thrill with training.
He views running not as punishment, but as mindful therapy. Open-air workouts in rain or peaks keep routines fresh. As Mumbai’s marathon cements its status as Asia’s biggest, Soman’s veteran wisdom elevates it, reminding participants that endurance builds champions—one consistent step at a time.
Milind’s influence extends beyond races; he ignites a movement for sustainable fitness, proving that with consistency, anyone can rewrite their limits.
