The mutual love for endurance sport is what brought the four founders of LEAP together. Though we all played some form of sport as kids, it all started out for us with running in our respective backyards. As the movement picked up across the country, we finally had the chance to meet and join a tribe that was motivated by all things that tested endurance.
While tackling full-time jobs, we stepped out every now and then on the weekend to join races across India. Soon, a few of us landed the opportunity to run around the world. Lining up alongside more experienced runners, it was clear that we had a lot of things to catch up on when it came to endurance sports. It started a journey of learning that has led us here today.
Besides the thrill of competition, the idea was to realize the limits of our bodies and how best we could expend our resources to efficiently attain our goals. As we delved deeper, it was evident that a successful run had a lot to do with understanding the science of fuelling our bodies, both during races and while training. If we could crack this code, it could be easily extended to other sports that involved some element of endurance.
