Run Dadi Run: Secrets From The World's Fastest 105-Year-Old Sprinter, Maan Kaur Run Dadi Run is an extraordinary tribute to the unstoppable Maan Kaur, the 105-year-old record-breaking athlete who took up running at the age of 91 and continued defying expectations with her unwavering spirit. Named Athlete of the Year at the World Masters Games in 2011, Maan’s journey is a testament to resilience, courage, and the power of self-belief. Guided by her son Gurdev, a record-breaking senior athlete himself, Maan transformed her life, proving that age is no barrier when passion and determination lead the way. Inspired by a documentary, author Dr Gurjit Kaur spent a week with Maan in Patiala, documenting her daily rituals, diet, and the exercise routine. The book reveals simple yet profound habits that fuelled Maan’s vitality—from refreshing kefir drinks to sprouted wheat chapatis—and her various other recipes for longevity. Dr Kaur’s insights capture not only Maan’s wellness secrets, but also her rich life philosophy: grounded, spiritual, and optimistic. Filled with stories of Maan’s days as a nanny in the Maharaja of Patiala’s palace and her memories of India’s freedom struggle, Run Dadi Run draws readers into Maan’s world—a world where energy, purpose, and positivity are ageless.
