The Tour of Nil­giris mean­ders through the famed Blue Moun­tains of South India immers­ing you in the stun­ning land­scape, bio-diversity, cul­ture and her­itage of Kar­nataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

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 […]

The Mum­bai run was an excit­ing event for me. The reg­is­tra­tions start way in advance so there is quite a build up over the months. It was another story that I wasn’t too pre­pared and hadn’t put in any long runs in the month prior to Mum­bai. But I was excited, never the less. My mom […]

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 […]

Mostly, I remem­ber the last few kilo­me­ters of KTM. Because I’ve never been so relieved that it was done. But then I say that after every run :-) Well, I prob­a­bly wasn’t the only one : with the sun shin­ing in all its glory : at times dur­ing the 3 hour affair I could feel it […]

The Kaveri Trail marathon is finally here (it also came much sooner than I thought!). On the scary side, I haven’t run in more than two weeks. My travel put my sched­ule out of order and I’ve been rather lazy in the morn­ings too. So I’m not in the best of con­di­tions, but then I […]

HIGHS: Run­ning the Sun­feast 10K with over 4000 peo­ple in the Open 10K cat­e­gory : the energy and the crowd enthu­si­asm was pretty awe­some and we could feel the excite­ment pul­sat­ing through the air as the whole group lined up for the start at sharp 9 am. This was my first run with such a […]

When I came across the post on the RFL run­ning group about run­ning on the run­way at the new Ban­ga­lore air­port, I couldn’t not be inter­ested! I mean, how many times will I get the chance to say while look­ing our of the air­craft win­dow (feel­ing really cool and all that, might I add), â€œOh, […]
