T.D.Rajendran to participate in Malaysia Athlete Meet

T.D.Rajendran, 78, runs his own business of exporting medicinal herbs in Sivakasi. He began walking and running only about 6-7 years ago, to improve his health in general. He walks or runs every alternate day for about 10 km and exercises at home 3 days a week when he is not walking or running. Being quite new to running, he was quite eager to learn about how to improve his speed as well as resolve issues with shoe-selection, which had led him to run barefoot in his events. He took the 4th place in the 5000m in the 75-79 age category, in 33rd National Masters Athletic Championship, held at the Kanteerava stadium. He also complete the full Marathon (The Wipro Chennai Marathon 2013) in 6 hours. This year he is going to participate in Malaysia Athelte Meet 2014. Good luck to our Super Senior Sivakasian, We are all cheering you on! We are very very proud of you.
