In the story 'The Flying Sikh' , how was Milkha Singh trained in the army?
Dear student,
Milkha Singh is also known as The Flying Sikh. He was an Indian track and field sprinter and was introduced to the sport while serving the Indian Army. Milkha started running barefoot and for three years, even when he participated in the Army meets, this was how he ran. His training schedules were crazy. He had no facilities. He began running barefoot, had no running shoes, no track suits, no money, no proper tracks, nothing at all. All that he had was fierce will-power, a will to work hard. He had no scientific training. Charles Jenkins gave him insights on effective training methods. Coaches played a very important role in his life and career.
Regards
