  • 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 –…

  • When it is hard to find motivation!

    Yeah, some days! For someone who is too focused on numbers and goals, hitting a zero motivation patch is not easy. I have not run in two days and that is bugging me. Is the training block – however well is going – is boring me? Am I burned out? Are those minor niggles are…

  • 100 days of running 2018

    Yes… done with that too… With me running every day since last year’s ‘100 days of running’, completing the 2018 edition was not difficult at all… Ran over 1250 km in over 142 hours in those 100 days! The most satisfying part of the whole thing is the Delhi summer couldn’t stop me. The weather…

  • Tuffman Shimla – Race Report

    Late post! Had this race done two weeks ago… finally, got time to sit down and pen down few things about the race… First of all, the race. Distance covered – 30km… Time took – 4:10 hours… Difficulty level –  ‘I am giving up’ tough! Every year, I do a run in hills to prepare…

  • Trying to crack an ultramarathon run…

    Ultramarathon run, by its definition, is any distance run longer than a full marathon (42.195km or 26.219 mi). So, if you are a marathoner, occasionally running 42.2, why is it hard to finish an ultra run (usually starting with a 50k)? The simplest answer is most ultra runs are not flat road races and the…

  • 365 days of running!

        Yes, I did it… completed a year of running without missing a day. All started with the ‘100 days of running challenge’ last April. The idea is you have to run for 100 days without missing a day and run a minimum of 2km each day. I completed the challenge registering 950+ kms…

  • Summing up 2017

    Well, 2017 was a great year for running. Clocked close to 3000 km on Strava; 2973 to be exact. It was one excellent year; a number of PBs, podiums and completion of new challenges. The year started with a bit of disappointment. Taken both Chennai Marathon and Mumbai Marathon challenge in January. Ran both back to…

  • My pacing debut

    It’s almost 2.5 years of running for me. So far, it has been fantastic – finishing, getting PBs, going places and running. Running in delhi and elsewhere means making fiends with many awesome runners whom we meet during races and sunday runs. I am fortunate enough to be friends with some superstar athletes in the country.…

  • 2016: My crazy year of running…

    Years from now, when i look back down the road, i might find 2016 as the year i went crazy… crazy about running… My 2016 new year resolution was ‘make a difference, do something crazy’… i did lot of crazy stuff… The craziest was deciding to run HM/FM in 6 different cities… Starting with Hyderabad…

  • As long as there are games, it is not over!

    After a heart break from the football world cup last year, i had decided not to invest so much emotions in any sporting event…. the ones i myself is not involved with… Tries to keep calm during ManU’s failures early in the season… Indian cricket team’s pathetic performances during the test series and all…. But…
