• 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…

  • 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…

  • Solo Runner…

    Running is freedom… And solo running? Peace! When you run solo, you decide the tempo, you decide the pace, you decide the route, and think whatever you like and listen to whatever on your playlist… Nobody tells you what to do!  Freedom! I am a solo runner… I am my own boss! Follow me on

  • Finally, a sub-4 Marathon

    Yes, it happened… finally… finished a Marathon within 4 hours… 3:56:22 to be exact… I was back again to Mumbai for finishing what I started last Feb. Immediately after the Mumbai Marathon of 2017, I realised I need to work on lots of things before I could break into sub-4; building strength for example. I…

  • My 2018 reading list

    Already on the first weekend of 2018, and I have a reading list for 2018. Every year I take up a reading challenge which includes one book series and few other books. ‘Few’ maybe 8 to 10 books. This year, I thought I’d change up the challenge a bit, making it a real ‘challenge’. So,…

  • Few bits about ‘HEAT’

    Originally posted on That Theoretical Physicist: As you know the Universe is made of matter and energy. The matter is made up of atoms and molecules. And it is the energy that causes (triggers) these atoms and molecules in motion. They bump into each other or vibrate back and forth and increased the atomic/molecular kinetic energy…

  • 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…
