My Sporting Journey

I started running in 2019 to lose weight. I'm now a BQ (Boston Qualifier) marathoner and ultra-runner. I've also paced many national and international races successfully and helped athletes achieve sub-90 half marathon, sub-3:30 and sub-4:00 marathon goals. In addition to running, I'm an ultra-cyclist and have earned two Super Randonneur titles. As a coach, I've trained over 300 athletes across India and 15 overseas athletes, helping them achieve BQ, sub-3 marathon, sub-3:30 marathon, Comrade Ultra, and many other ultra-marathon finishes. My coaching includes training for the SRT Ultra, Tata Ultra, and the Western Ghat Running Foundation.
