My Sporting Journey
I began my journey into running back in 2014, but my roots in athletics trace back to my school and college days where I competed as a 100m sprinter until 2004. After completing my studies, I transitioned into an office job where a colleague named Ajay Joshi introduced me to the marathon world, specifically mentioning the Investon run. With Ajay's help, i registered for my first race and thus began my running journey.
In 2014, I completed my first 10km at the ILFS run and soon after, I trained rigorously for my first half marathon, which I successfully ran at the Vasai Virar half marathon. Since then, I have participated in numerous events, including distances of 10km, 21km, 42km, and even 50km. One of my notable achievements was completing the 12-hour Mumbai ultra marathon.
Running has become not just a hobby but a passion that has enriched my life with challenges and accomplishments across various distances and terrains.
