In this heartening episode of RunPod, we welcome Brig (Dr) Debajyoti Bhattacharya (Retd), a humble yet remarkable veteran, a pulmonologist of national repute, whose running journey began with a self-trained half marathon back in 2012 at Pune. After a long break, he’s laced up again and now regularly conquers 10K runs, eyeing another half marathon soon.

Though he modestly claims he’s “not in the league like the other guests,” his return to distance running later in life is nothing short of inspiring. It’s a story of quiet discipline, self-belief, and the enduring love for staying healthy through movement.

Join us as we explore what it takes to restart, rebuild, and reclaim joy on the roads — no matter your age or pace.
