    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mumbai, April 14 (Cricketnmore):<\/strong> Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday said his childhood coach Ramakant Achrekar was instrumental in making him realise the importance of fitness at the start of his career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;All I am trying to tell you here is my coach (Ramakant Achrekar) was instrumental in making me realise that fitness is going to be a key factor. But he made things enjoyable for me. I never once felt that why am I doing this,&quot; Tendulkar said in a programme where he was named the face of the Marathons scheduled to be held in Mumbai, New Delhi and Kolkata.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;At the end of the day, my coach had to literally interrupt a net session and say, &quot;That&#39;s it, it&#39;s too dark, you&#39;ll get hurt. And that&#39;s how he would stop our session. I didn&#39;t feel like running though after that. That is how I felt I became strong and it&#39;s not just about being physically fit.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tendulkar said you need to push yourself mentally and physically to achieve success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;Once you learn to push the boundaries, then it also makes you mentally strong. Because there have been times where I felt tired while playing international games. But it was the mental strength and training at a young age which sort of I could use and put that into practice,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Talking about how he kept himself fit and the level of training during his long playing career, the 42-year-old said, &ldquo;Fitness is from within. It&#39;s not about how you look. What the body is actually able to do. Without any doubt, with more awareness, more knowledge, I think the team is really, really fit.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;So without realising I felt the foundation was becoming more and more solid for me and then after that there were number of marathon innings I played, at school level as well. When both Vinod (Kambli) and I created the world record, I scored 326 not out, bowled little bit and hopped across to play another match because there were two matches going on simultaneously in our school itself. So I went there and scored 178 not out again in that match, followed that with another triple hundred,&quot; concluded Tendulkar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n",
