#997: Michelin Star Chef Turned Marathon...

Jitin Joshi isn’t “just” one of the world’s most respected Michelin-star chefs. He’s also a multiple-marathon finisher who’s raced across several continents and, for his 50th birthday, took on the highest marathon in the world – the Ladakh Marathon.

In this conversation we dive into:

• What it’s really like behind the scenes in top kitchens around the world
• Long hours, brutal schedules, poor nutrition… and how he turned that around
• How running his first 10K at 40 led to 21 marathons in 10 years
• The mindset shift from “no time to train” to making endurance a non-negotiable
• Training at sea level in Dubai for a high-altitude race with very little oxygen
• The emotional story behind Ladakh, his family, and why this marathon meant so much
• How Jitin uses food, curiosity and stories to create unforgettable experiences for his guests at Revolver in Dubai

If you work long hours, struggle with balance, or think “my job doesn’t allow me to train,” this episode will challenge that story in the best way.
