			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before I could start training for marathon I should build a mileage base. Base assures you&#8217;ve enough stamina to try such heavy and long term training. In simple words, &#8216;<strong>building base</strong>&#8216; is your ability to jog/run for certain distance, say 3-4 kms at a stretch any given time.</p>
<p>Now let me tell you my background: I&#8217;m a regular guy; I&#8217;m not an athlete. I wished to and used to take part in sports in my school and college only when I could get through, which happened rarely. I grew up in rural area of the country which has more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adivasi" target="_blank">Adivasi</a> population, Adivasi people are natural athlete hence used to represent our school in inter-school sports competitions. During 8, 9, 10th grade,  I was a cadet at <a href="http://nccindia.nic.in/" target="_blank">NCC (National Cadet Corps)</a> which helped me increase/build my stamina. Later in under-grad college, the only sports I could get through was football (soccer). In junior year I managed to become the captain of the class&#8217; football team as well. I also did some heavy long treks and hikings during that period. Guess I was at my peak in terms of stamina. But it was before I crossed 20 <img src='http://pranav.amrute.me/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  some 6-8 years ago!!</p>
<p>THINGS HAVE CHANGED, now.  My current status is not at all impressive, in fact it&#8217;s pathetic to core. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll get cramps even if I throw a ball today. The other day my legs are paining as I slept awkwardly&#8230; that must be due to lack of blood supply that night, but surely I&#8217;ve lost it. I dont remember the last time I played any sports, I played badminton &amp; table tennis last year in October for a week for local annual competition. As I mentioned in <a href="http://pranav.amrute.me/profile" target="_blank">my profile</a>, I&#8217;m living like a zombie these days. I&#8217;ve home-office setup and my system is placed in dining room itself; I use same chair for dining table just move it 180 degrees (ouch! am I that bad?&#8230;. I confessed <img src='http://pranav.amrute.me/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  ) <span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>So that&#8217;s my story</em></span>!! But on positive note: I run occasionally; I&#8217;m not <em>that</em> fat &amp; my friends say I look<em> fit, always</em>.</p>
<p>And what matters most is I&#8217;ve <em>decided to change things</em> and change things fast. Body building is in cards but I&#8217;d build the base first.  I&#8217;ve already started my base-building and jogging thing. Also doing dumbbells.</p>
<p>You guys support me; I&#8217;ll update this place on regular basis;  stay tuned and comment whenever possible.</p>
