In the 30th episode of RunPod, we’re joined by Gp Capt Pragya Sharma, an oncopathologist from AFMC and a proud alumna of the H2 batch. Her running journey has been anything but linear—marked by determination, resilience, and an unwavering belief in bouncing back.

From injury setbacks to recovery, and from frustration to finish lines, her story is stitched together by a simple but powerful motto: “Fall seven times, rise eight.” She shares what it means to lace up after every fall, to rebuild strength—physically and mentally—and to never let a pause become a full stop.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just learning to get back up, this episode is a tribute to the quiet courage of showing up again.
