Our des­ti­na­tion: Nandi Hills, located about 60 km north of Ban­ga­lore and about 4800 ft above sea level. On top was Tipu Sultan’s sum­mer retreat and the remains of Tipu’s fort still remain. Tipu’s Drop, a 600 metre high cliff face, where pris­on­ers were hurled down the precipice when the king was really angry. Not […]

The train­ing for Sun­feast is on! This is the Kanakpura stretch where we go when we want to do uphill stretches. This time we did a 4k stretch down­hill to start with. And then we come back the same way, except this time it’s all uphill :-) Believe me, it’s not happy thoughts on your […]

Last year’s Ultra was my first long dis­tance run­ning event. Besides the fact that I had no idea about the route (espe­cially the uphill sec­tions), I had also not run more than 10–12 kms in train­ing. So it was quite an expe­ri­ence for me. But what was really moti­vat­ing was the fact there were so […]
