My Best Athletic Moment
Despite setbacks like jaundice forcing me into 3 months of bed rest, I bounced back from gaining 12 kg to running the Hyderabad half marathon in 02:27:13. This experience taught me that setbacks don't define us; it's our determination and hard work that propel us forward. As an ultra runner and certified marathon coach (ACSM), i find joy in pacing and helping others achieve their personal bests. For me, the true reward in athletics is making fellow runners happy and inspiring them to never give up on their goals.

My 2024 Race Calendar
in 2024, my race calendar is focused on running each day and making every run count. Following events like TMM, KFM, and TUM, I plan to participate in selective runs to further enhance my achievements and experiences in running.
My Sporting Journey
My journey into running began in 2017 with a simple goal of feeling lighter and shedding some weight. However, after forming our own running group post-covid, running evolved into a lifestyle for us all.
Running a full marathon is a truly beautiful journey, and i had the pleasure of completing two 42 km marathons last year, as well as a 50 km ultra run (TATA Ultra-Lonavala).
Balancing my career in banking with running has become like medicine for me; both are equally essential for my well-being and survival.
