• Another ‘home’ run and another podium!

    Race: Spice coast marathon Date: 11/11/2018 This scenic run in Cochin, Kerala, my home, is becoming my new favorite! Not just because it’s in Kerala… but also because I enjoy the runs and end up on podium! In 2016, when I ran the half marathon here, I finished first in women’s category. This year I…

  • Waiting for twilight!

    Clicked this pic in the morning when I was waiting for a bit of light for my run @ my hometown in Kerala! It’s going to be winter soon! With the sunrise and twilight delayed, the morning runs are getting delayed too… Change of season calls for new training plans! I have to tweak my…

  • Not all ADHMs give you PBs

    So, Delhi’s biggest running festival got over today… Airtel Delhi Half Marathon or ADHM is an IAAF gold label race and people from all over the country come and run this… Considering the timing of the race (just when winter is starting) and a flat track, it’s where PBs are made… My first ever half…

  • Cape Town Marathon… Yes, I was part of Africa’s Gold

    Last week, I checked a few things off my bucket list; exploring Africa was one among them. Being a runner, I did that in true runner’s way – finished Africa’s only Gold label marathon in 3:52:25. And the best part, it was a PB for me! Africa was in my ‘to visit’ list for a…

    Here we go, the new season of running. First one – Airtel Hyderabad Marathon (AHM), the toughest city Marathon in India. Hyderabad is like my second home. Having studied in the University of Hyderabad and lived there for 8 years, AHM is always an excuse for me to go back to the city and meet…

    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…

  • Homemade Peanut butter!

    My Saturday success story… Finally made my own peanut butter… As someone who consumes at least 300g of peanut butter per week, I keep buying jars of them from the grocery store every month… Peanut butter is a healthy choice they say… but, how healthy is stuff you buy from the market? Most of them…

  • 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…
