   S3 | E9 👉 3 Generations, 1 Running Legacy | The Jain Family Story | Intentionality Podcast

   What happens when one good habit travels through an entire family and then into a community? It started in 2009 when Padmashree decided to run a 5K near Vidhana Soudha. She couldn’t have known then that this simple decision would eventually create a running legacy spanning three generations. In 2011, her husband Darshan Jain was overweight, overworked and leading a largely sedentary lifestyle. Inspired by Padmashree, he started running. What began as an attempt to improve his health gradually became a way of life and eventually a purpose.Darshan then passed the habit on. His son Tanmai started running as a teenager. What initially attracted him was something much simpler, a cool finisher T-shirt! Running stayed, and over the years he progressed into endurance sport and triathlons. Then Darshan encouraged his father, Y.S. Rajendra Kumar, to give running a try. YSR was 74. He was hesitant, but agreed to try it for a couple of weeks. He enjoyed it, kept learning and kept showing up. In 2018–19, Darshan and Tanmai completed the Procam Slam together. The following season, they brought YSR into the challenge. The three generations went on to complete: TCS World 10K, Bengaluru Airtel Delhi Half Marathon Tata Steel Kolkata 25K Tata Mumbai Marathon At Mumbai, YSR completed his first full marathon at 79. The achievement eventually earned the family a place in the India Book of Records for their three-generation Procam Slam accomplishment. But perhaps the more interesting part of their story is what happened after the record. They simply kept going. In 2025, YSR at 85, Darshan at 57 and Tanmai at 27 were once again on the start line, this time for the Bengaluru Half Marathon. Three generations. Three different paces. One habit connecting them. And what began within one family didn’t remain there. Darshan went on to help build running communities and today continues that journey through ODUBA, helping more people make movement and fitness part of their lives. In this episode of the Intentionality Podcast, we sit down with Y.S. Rajendra Kumar, Darshan Jain, Tanmai Jain and Padmashree to explore something bigger than running: Why should we start building fitness when we are young? Is it ever too late to start? How do you train for a marathon in your 70s? What happens when parents don’t just tell their children to live healthy lives — but demonstrate it? And can one person’s habit eventually change an entire family? Their story leaves us with a simple thought: One decision can become a habit. A habit can become a family culture. And a family culture can influence a community. Good Habits Build Happy Families & Communities.

   S3 | E8 | Inside an Elite Sports Physio's Playbook | Dr. Nivedha | Intentionality Podcast

   What separates elite athletes from the rest of us? It’s how they prepare, recover, and respond when things don’t go according to plan. In this episode of Intentionality, we sit down with Dr. Nivedha Dilip, Sports Physiotherapist for the Assam Women’s Cricket Team, former physio for the Indian Railways Women’s Cricket Team, strength coach, and former national-level basketball player. Ironically, her journey into physiotherapy began with an injury of her own. As a young basketball player, a serious knee injury threatened to end the sport she loved. The rehabilitation that followed didn’t just get her back onto the court, it gave her a purpose. Today, she helps athletes and working professionals build stronger bodies, recover from injuries, and perform with confidence. In this conversation, we explore what really happens behind the scenes of elite sport and what all of us can learn from it. In this episode, you’ll learn: • How elite cricketers approach recovery and injury prevention • The real role of a sports physiotherapist inside a professional team • Why sleep, nutrition, and strength training matter more than most people realise • The difference between treating elite athletes and working professionals • How rehabilitation is as much about mindset as it is about muscles • Common mistakes people make after getting injured • Why pain doesn’t always mean injury and injury doesn’t always begin with pain • Practical advice to stay active, strong, and injury-free for years to come Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, gym-goer, weekend athlete, or simply someone who wants to move better and live without pain, this episode offers practical lessons you can apply immediately.

   S3 | E7 - When One Person Moves, The Family Evolves | Intentionality Podcasst ft. Siveej Family

   Some families spend weekends in malls. Some families gather around a dining table. The Siveej family chose to suffer together. What started as casual cycling during COVID slowly transformed into something much bigger. Siveej, went from riding heavy bicycles as a schoolboy in Thrissur just to watch movies to completing some of the toughest endurance events in the world: Super Randonneur rides, Paris–Brest–Paris, and a 2024-kilometre cycling event across Thailand. What’s this episode about? It is about how one person’s curiosity slowly changed the culture of an entire home. His son Arjun quietly picked up running. His wife Shani accepted a casual family challenge to run Chamundi Hills. A first 10K in October became a half marathon within weeks. Then came an even crazier idea - a 50K ultra marathon. They didn’t have a coach, no sophisticated training plan. No expensive setup. Just evening runs after work, practice loops around Mysuru Outer Ring Road, YouTube research, family support, and the willingness to keep moving. What makes this story powerful is not the finish times. It is the small moments: buying water from roadside shops during long runs, running through pain and cramps, Shani targeting the next 5 kilometres when the body wanted to stop, Arjun refusing to quit after muscle cramps, Siveej constantly moving between family members during the ultra to make sure both were okay, and a family discovering that endurance is less about talent and more about belief. One of the biggest lessons from this conversation is that most limits are negotiated mentally long before they become physical. Shani says something unforgettable in this episode: “When I am tired, I should not stop. I should stop only when I am done.” Another beautiful insight: “Fun is choosing discomfort willingly.” This podcast is also a reminder that fitness does not have to isolate families. It can bring families together. You do not need perfect preparation to begin. You do not need to be fast to call yourself a runner. You do not need elite genetics to attempt hard things. Sometimes all it takes is: curiosity, consistency, support, and people who believe in you when you begin doubting yourself. This is one of the most human conversations we’ve had on Intentionality. Featuring: Siveej, Shani, and Arjun — the family that went from first 10Ks to a 50K ultra together. #IntentionalityPodcast #BeAthlit #UltraRunning #FamilyFitness #RunningCommunity #50KUltra #EnduranceSports #IndianRunners #Mindset #FamilyGoals #RunningJourney #FitnessLifestyle #MarathonTraining #BengaluruRunners
