Assistant Coach Dr. Sanjay Ram
Sanjay Ram is not sure why he started running in his teens for a few years on a beach in Mumbai… and picked it up again after a hiatus of several years at the age of 28. He caught the ‘running bug’ again during his Infectious Diseases fellowship training at Boston University. He was a member of the Cambridge Running Club for several years and is now a member of the Central Mass Striders after moving to UMass, Worcester. Sanjay has run 16 marathons, including Boston, New York, Chicago, Dublin and Beijing. He has run 3 marathons (Chicago, Marine Corps and Twin Cities) with members of ASHA-Silicon Valley that is coached by his cousin, Rajeev Char. Sanjay’s personal best is 3:13 at Portland, Maine. He tries to get in 30 to 40 miles a week and a key part of his training philosophy is to try and stay injury-free by incorporating strength training. Sanjay looks forward to training with TeamAIDAsha and hopes to run a marathon on all continents.
