  • 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 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
