Goodbye, 2023

What an year of running this has been!

Finally close 3800 km of running, 615+ hours of activities and a total of 352 days active. This has been the most productive of recent years after couple of my ultrarunning years!

I had run two key races – New Delhi Marathon and Delhi Half Marathon – both giving me a PB in marathon and half marathon. The highlight of the year was indeed the Delhi Half Marathon where i could break into the sub-100 min club with a massive PR and a podium in age category.

The New Delhi Marathon was memorable too with a BQ. It was a bit disappointing as I couldn’t achieve my goal time; but a BQ is a BQ. I will take that as a win!

There has been PRs in every distance this year form 400m to Marathon from training and races and I am thankful for being not injured this year to achieve these goals! Having an able body is indeed a privilege!

Lots of trail running towards the second half of the year… Staying a season more on road has given me lot of FOMO and i have moved a number of more training runs to trails… this has helped me improve some of those uphill techniques!

2024 is going to be a landmark year… i have couple of projects planned for this year! So, more running, planning and smiling in 2024!

Cheers!
