  • 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’

  • 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.

I expected a crash and burn situation. The…

  • ADHM… My YAY moment of the year!

      It was that time of the year in Delhi. Post-Diwali smog and pollution debates and then came along ADHM… bearing the brunt of the ‘concerned’ health professionals… After days and weeks of uncertainty, it did happen! 2017, to me, was the year of Full Marathons. I have been training for it since February with…

  • 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.…
