Mayank Vaid has been on an incredible journey over the past 2 years. From being inspired by a story of David Gething setting a world record running 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days, meeting him at his kids’ school drop off, to running the Pyongyang marathon with David, before racing the Enduroman Arch to Arc with him in tandem.
