Does Fauja Singh smoke?: No.Does Fauja Singh drink alcohol?: No.He is the worlds oldest man to ever run a marathon.Fauja Singh once said that until the age of 5, he was not able to walk properly, as his legs were too skinny to balance his body weight and most of the time he used to get tired easily even after walking short distances.After he built up some bodily strength, at the age of 15, he started doing all the things that other mens of the village are supposed to do. He used to wake up early in the morning, fed the cattle, worked manually in arable fields, pulling out water from wells and various other jobs, which involves manual tasks.To maintain his strength, he used to subsist on milk, yoghurt, healthy farm vegetables, and bread. Once, he had mentioned that his healthy and disciplined lifestyle has played the major role in keeping him fit and active.At one stormy night in 1994, he went out with his son, Kuldip Singh, to check the irrigation channel of the field, which was next to a construction site, accidentally, a grooved metal sheet fell on the skull of his son and ripped off his neck.After the death of his wife, son and his elder daughter, he went into depression and to brought himself out of it, he had decided to make running as an essential activity of his life.According to him, he found running as a medium, which has the power to transform lives. At the age of 89, he took running seriously and started practicing it under the supervision of his coach, Harmander Singh.In 2000, he ran his first marathon, the London Marathon and after this, his life took a turn, and since then, he has participated in several International Marathons such as London Flora Marathon (2000-2004), Bupa Great North Run (2002), Glasgow City Half Marathon (2004), Toronto Waterfront Marathon (2011), Hong Kong Marathon (2012), Park Run UK (2012), and many more.
