Glam pics by the official photographers! @hyroxindia ✨

HYROX really gave me a solid birthday gift — sled pull, sled push, and those evil wall balls that nearly finished me off. 😅 Brutal, humbling, but hey… at least the photos make it look like I had fun!

Big shoutout to my partners-in-pain — @aldrian_augustine at @ironclad_fitness_hq best spot for #hyroxtraining) and @trainedbymangesh at @tungstenfitnessclub_ghansoli for building me up enough to survive this madness. 🙌

Definitely a birthday to remember… and to recover from. 🎂💪 Can’t wait to do it all over again (yes, I’m clearly wired wrong 🤪). by @just_andy_thingz

Success hits different when no one believed in you.

I'm thrilled to share that I completed the Comrades Up Run in South Africa, clocking in at 11 hours and 9 minutes! Last year, I faced the disappointment of a DNF (Did Not Finish), but this year, I emerged triumphant.

For those who might not know, the Comrades Marathon is an 87 km race with a grueling 1,800 meters of elevation gain. Being part of the Indian contingent made this achievement even more special. Accepting a DNF wasn't easy, but I used every resource at my disposal to fuel my journey.

This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support system I have. A big thank you to all the people behind this achievement:

@ayoshmita Ash & the kids for holding the fort and always being my biggest cheerleaders.

My running coach, @coach_amitkumar, for orchestrating the training blocks and pushing me to achieve the impossible.

@trainedbymangesh , my strength trainer & nutritionist at @tungsten_fitness, and @megha_iyengar , my physio, both of whom have worked relentlessly on my transformation for the past year.

My friends and work colleagues for their constant encouragement and support.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! @comradesmarathon #ComradesMarathon #NeverGiveUp #Grateful #RunningJourney #Transformation #IndianContingent taken in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal by @just_andy_thingz

Full Marathon #10 through the stunning & brutally challenging Kharghar Hills @khargharhillmayormarathon . Huge shoutout to LCF @letscelebratefitness and @richasameet22 for pulling off such a beautiful, well-organized event!

Honestly, my training block was a mess. Solo runner perils caught up with me - skipping 4 AM wake ups , blaming the extreme weather, and prioritizing gym muscle over road miles. 42km felt heavy.

There were so many moments out there where I wanted to call it quits. But ego is a funny thing; Mid-way through the humidity, I met a gentleman matching my slow walk-jog pace. Ticking off those tough kilometers reminded me of starting this sport 8 years ago - no time goals, just the basics.

The twist? At the finish, I realized my lifeline buddy doesn’t use a smartphone or social media. Just pure presence :)

Time-wise, it was one of my most unsatisfactory races ever. But looking back at the finish line, there isn’t a single thing to complain about. I guess that’s the sign of a matured runner. 🎒✨ by @just_andy_thingz
