🚴‍♂️💨 Back in the saddle for an epic ride after what feels like ages! 🔥
Battling the blazing sun and tough rolling hills, I pushed harder than ever and smashed my personal records from 40 to 100 kilometers! 🏆💪 The challenge was real, but the feeling of achievement was worth every drop of sweat. 🌟
Cycling isn’t just about the ride; it’s a lifestyle that brings immense benefits like boosting mood, and improving cardiovascular health to name a few. 🚴‍♂️💚

With this ride as inspiration, I’m committed to ride more often, exploring more adventures, and achieving new milestones in the future! 🌞

🏃‍♂️🌟 Had an amazing time at the 10K race on March 10th organized by NEB Sports! 🏅 It was a beautifully organized event in celebration of Karnataka Police’s Golden Jubilee. 🎉 The morning was perfect, and the route through the heart of the city was so well-crafted. 🏙️ It was fantastic to see some of my .360 team members there, and meeting friends at the start and finish line added to the joy of the race. 💪 Also, got the chance to catch up with old friends and reminisce about old times. 🌄 Grateful for such experiences and eagerly looking forward to the next opportunity! 🙏

🏃‍♂️🎽 Had a fantastic time at the Kanyathon 10K over the weekend!
It felt amazing to be racing this distance after a while 🙌
The event, organized by the dedicated students of IFIM college, was not just about the run but also about supporting a noble cause - to educate and empower the girl child. 💕
Here are my thoughts on the race:
👍 Positives:
* Hassle-free registration process
* Well-organized holding area
* Decent route with good traffic management
* Lively atmosphere and great post-race engagement
* Refreshments were on point
* Convenient location close to home
* The only running event in this part of Bangalore
👎 Areas of improvement:
* Lack of parking space
* No hydration support on the course
* Aid stations were not set up until an hour after the start
* No communication regarding official finish times / finisher certificates

It was great to see my fellow runners from .360 🏃‍♀️
Congratulations to Rahul for finishing his first 5K race and to Rashida Maam for another podium finish! 🏆
And it was inspiring to see Ashok Sir, who defies aging, at the finish line, and to meet Laksha, one of the youngest triathletes I’ve ever known.

Bangalore Mountain Festival

Conquered the Bangalore trails in a breathtaking Half Marathon last weekend on a serene Sunday! 🏃‍♂️ The mountainous route took us through a diverse terrain – rocks, boulders, plantations, fields, and refreshing water streams.

A true test of strength and endurance with a challenging 300m elevation gain. 🏔️

Hats off to Sunil for organizing this gem of an event! 🙌 Small yet well-organized, with a well marked route that made the run a breeze. 80% trail, 20% road – the perfect blend of nature and urban life. And I must mention the very thoughtful and well executed transport arrangement for runners at very affordable rates.

Massive thanks to my running team .360 and well-wishers for the continuous support. 🤝
This easy effort 21.1K was a journey of gratitude and camaraderie.

Running isn’t just about the miles; it’s about the friendships, the community, and the shared passion. 🌟 Until the next trail adventure!

Massive cleanup yesterday and I found these medals that made me reflect on my running journey.
I have been running for 12+ years and the primary reason when I started was to lose some weight which I achieved in about an year and a half but I fell in love with the sport and continued to run for the pure joy of running.
Everything else is really an extension to this and makes running even more worthwhile - health benefits, friends, community, travel, exploration and adventure to name a few.

I'am very grateful and feel very fortunate and blessed to find the right guidance and ample support from friends, family, Coaches when I started my running journey .
Started training with the RRS under the guidance of
My running buddies from the good old days - Atma .bajaj Sandy kanu
