Sub-3 at Tata Mumbai Marathon @tatamummarathon 🏁

This one means a lot.

Not just because of the number on the clock, but because of the journey that led here; and the people who stood behind it.

In 2024, I ran my first marathon and crossed the line in 3:10, still trying to understand what this distance really demands. In 2025, I returned fitter and more confident, only to have cramps hit in the final 2 km. I dragged myself home in 3:11, carrying that disappointment with me for a long time.

This year, I made a quiet promise to myself: race smarter, not harder.

I settled into a steady rhythm early, running 3:55–3:57/km, hit the halfway mark in 1:22:35, and reached 30 km in 1:57:58 feeling calm and in control. Instead of chasing the pace, I focused on what mattered: staying patient, fueling right, hydrating well, and trusting the plan.

And this time, everything clicked.

I crossed the finish line in 2:48:26, a sub-3, at last.

This run wouldn’t have been possible without the people who believed in me even on the days I doubted myself. Immensely grateful to my coaches @nishamillet , @sumesh_coach ; especially Coach @tricoachsridhar sir, for the pacing strategy and for teaching me the power of controlled restraint; @__kdc_ , for pacing me through countless interval sessions and helping fine-tune my hydration plan; and my @trizonesofficial teammates, fellow runners, and swimmers who kept pushing, supporting, and inspiring me along the way.

Race day support mattered too: @asicsindia Magic Speed 3 on my feet, @42kmstore kit keeping things comfortable, @coros.in COROS Pace 2 guiding every kilometre, Unived fuel keeping cramps at bay, and @craycol sunglasses helping me stay locked in till the end.

Grateful for the lessons, the setbacks, the people, and the process. This milestone feels earned; and it feels like just the beginning.

Onwards 🚀

A proper chase in the Half Marathon.

@sahil_x_42.2 @_basudeb__ and @spartan_sanjaynegi flying through the course at the Wipro Bengaluru Marathon 2026, with all three pushing the pace and chasing each other through the Half Marathon.

No cruising here. This was some seriously fast running. ⚡

Last brick before taper. Race day nutrition testing; jelly legs and a reward at the end. This is most of what race prep looks like. 7days to go.

Season’s Another Camp: Conquered⚡️

Triathlon camps hit different. There’s a distinct energy in the air when everyone rolls out at dawn, hits the open water together, and collectively decides to drop the excuses.

The backdrop for this one was massive, but the real highlight was watching the pure effort on display. Everyone dug deep, fought through the fatigue, and held each other accountable through every single mile. No fluff just swim, bike, run, repeat. The season is in full swing and the momentum is real. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️
