Surendra Dasadia is now training to run his 4th Half Marathon after his cardiac bypass surgery.

Today we had the opportunity to test him after his earlier test of 4 months back. He came out tops showing that dedication and intent can lead you back to good health.

Some progress indicators:

His weight has moved 63.2 kgs to 58.9 kgs. A drop of 3.3 kgs.
His BF %age was 27% earlier and now has moved down to 24.6%. Moving from Obese to normal category.
His lipids are normal and I have asked him to stop statins after talking to his cardiologist.
His MBD score revealed that his left forearm was low and I have asked him to see his Ortho and decide medication.

He is now running almost 14 kms with minimal walk breaks in good form.
