    In the Long Run: Why Endurance Changes You More Than Success Ever Will | Sundeep Singh x RunPlayGo

    In this episode, Sundeep Singh returns to RunPlayGo Unfiltered to talk about his new book In the Long Run and the nine-year pursuit that changed him from the inside out. At first glance, this sounds like a story about qualifying for the Boston Marathon. But it is not really about Boston. It is about identity. It is about setbacks. It is about doing everything right and still not getting the outcome you expected. For years, Sundeep believed in a simple formula. Work hard. Stay disciplined. Results will follow. Running slowly dismantled that belief. After injuries, missed cutoffs, long layoffs, and even qualifying for Boston only to lose the opportunity weeks before race day, he was forced to confront a deeper truth about control, ambition, and acceptance. “Humans are infinitely more capable than what they are consciously aware of.” This conversation explores what long pursuits do to your self-worth, why applause fades faster than you think, and how acceptance might be the most powerful performance mindset of all. If you are navigating a long, uncertain phase in your own life, this episode will feel personal. About Sundeep Singh Endurance athlete, author, and corporate professional. After nearly a decade chasing Boston qualification, multiple injuries, and years of incremental progress, Sundeep reframed what success meant. Boston became a benchmark. Endurance became identity. His book In the Long Run dives into ambition, persistence, and what long pursuits teach us about ourselves.

    Dr. Jayant Arora: Why Your Running Injuries Keep Coming Back (And How to Fix It) Part - 1

    Why do the same running injuries keep returning even when you rest, rehab, and restart carefully? In this episode of RunPlayGo Unfiltered, host Shivani Singh is joined by Dr Jayant Arora, one of India’s most respected orthopedic and joint replacement surgeons, to break down the real reasons runners get stuck in injury cycles. With over 20 years of experience in orthopedic and sports medicine, and daily exposure to runners dealing with knee pain, ITB issues, shin splints, and stress fractures, Dr Arora explains a crucial truth most athletes overlook injuries are rarely random. They follow predictable patterns driven by biomechanics, training load, and recovery mistakes. Currently serving as Director and Head of Unit for Joint Replacement and Orthopedics at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, Dr Arora brings together surgical expertise, advanced techniques like robotic knee replacement, and first-hand athletic experience as a runner and cyclist. This dual perspective allows him to explain injuries not just from a medical lens, but from an athlete’s reality. In this conversation, we move beyond quick fixes and pain-suppression. Dr Arora breaks down why weak glutes often sit behind ITB pain, how poor load management leads to shin splints and stress fractures, and why the “no pain, no gain” mindset causes more harm than progress. He also shares when runners should stop self-diagnosing and seek a specialist, and how smarter training decisions can protect joints for the long run. Whether you are a beginner facing your first injury, a recreational runner training in your 30s or 40s, or an endurance athlete aiming for longevity, this episode gives you practical, science-backed clarity to run stronger and stay injury-free. 🎧 Listen in to understand your body better and train with intention, not guesswork.
