Strength coach sets Guinness World Record
Ahmedabad's Jesal Trivedi, 47, a former boxing champion, has secured a Guinness World Record by running 50km with a 40-pound backpack in under nine hours. This feat underscores his belief that age is no limit to achieving remarkable goals. AHMEDABAD: Strength and conditioning coach Jesal Trivedi, 47, has entered the Guinness World Records . Trivedi recently received his certificate for a feat accomplished earlier this year on Jan 12 — running 50km with a 40-pound backpack in 8 hours and 50 minutes. For Trivedi, the marathon was not just a test of physical endurance but a challenge to societal norms, proving that age is no barrier to achieving extraordinary goals. His record-breaking effort stands as a testament to determination, resilience and disciplined strength training. Aformer Gujarat state heavyweight boxing champion, Trivedi turned to fitness coaching after a shoulder injury ended his boxing career. Over the past decade, he has focused on bridging the gap between gym-goers and endurance athletes. 'Strength and endurance are two sides of the same coin,' he said. 'Many people chase fad diets and fitness trends focused solely on leanness. I wanted to prove that concurrent training can unlock extraordinary potential in both strength and stamina.

After guiding RCB to IPL crown, coach Andy Flower finds spirituality in Rishikesh
After guiding Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their maiden IPL title, coach Andy Flower paid a visit to Rishikesh to meet spiritual guru Swami Chidanand Saraswati at Paramarth Niketan Ashram. The meeting between the RCB coach and the spiritual guru took place on International Yoga Day on Saturday, June 21. Flower's tactical prowess was on full show during the IPL as RCB won all their away games en route to breaking their jinx and beating PBKS in the final to win the title. Flower said, as quoted by TOI, that he was talking with Swami about teams and how the tendency is always to win trophies. advertisementThe RCB coach said that from his experience as a player and a tactician, winning is not quite enough. He feels that there has to be something more meaningful than just winning as it can be a little hollow occasionally. "I was talking with the Swami about teams, actually. And the tendency for us as a sporting organisation is to grab at that trophy that you want to win. And everything's about winning.""But from my experience in playing and coaching, winning is not quite enough. There has to be something more, something deeper, something more meaningful than just winning. Because winning is a little hollow occasionally," said Flower. #WATCH | Uttarakhand: Former Zimbabwean cricket captain and RCB coach, Andy Flower meets Swami Chidanand Saraswati, president and spiritual head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, in Rishikesh ANI (@ANI) June 21, 2025advertisementFlower on International Yoga DayFlower also talked about International Yoga Day and said he has been a learning a lot about Yoga over the past two weeks since he has been in Rishikesh.
