Thank you, Hyderabad!

🏃‍♂️ One last shakeout before race day! 🔥

What a morning with the JoarmyST family! ❤️

Our NMDC Shakeout Run, organised by JoarmyST × Ray of Sunshine Foundation, in collaboration with Outstride India, was everything a pre-race morning should be — miles, smiles, great people and even better conversations. ☀️

Running alongside the elite runners from Coonoor was truly humbling. Their pace, discipline and passion for the sport were a reminder that there’s always more to learn and strive for. 🙌

And of course, no shakeout is complete without some coffee, good food and even better company at Third Wave Coffee, Sainikpuri. ☕🥪

A big shoutout to Outstride India for keeping us race-ready with some seriously great running wear! 👕🏃‍♂️

We wrapped up the morning with some valuable words from our coach and a final race briefing — now it’s time to put the training to work. 💪

FM. HM. 10K. Tomorrow, we run. 🏁

Run strong. Run together.
Let the sunshine in. ☀️

In this episode of Inwardly, I sit down with @johannahhull — a mother, a runner, a writer, and the founder of the Ray of Sunshine Foundation. In 2016, Joanna lost her 19-month-old son Jared. And then, as if that weren't enough, life kept asking more of her. A relationship that turned to abandonment. The loss of her father. And 19 months later, her mother.

What do you do when it seems like life is beating you down in every way possible?

Johannah's answer was to run. Not away from the pain — but through it. What started as a breathless escape from panic attacks became 51-kilometer ultra-runs, community fundraisers, and a foundation built in her son's name. (@rayofsunshine.foundation)

This is one of the most courageous conversations I have ever had on Inwardly. I am so grateful Johannah trusted me with it.

The Race that Humbled me!!!!

Came for a PB…got a reality Check!!

TCSW10K….
3/4 of my Procam Slam journey.

It’s the reality of how I got reintroduced to the real reason I started running and how it got overpowered by the chase behing PB’s

So yeah I start again to jump back, much STRONGER!!!

But also while enjoying the things that matter!!

HYROX Bengaluru 2026
Mixed Doubles | 1:36:48

When HYROX Bengaluru was announced, I registered within 5 minutes!! I was among the 10% who registered :))

With Yoddha in January, my training for HYROX began alongside Yoddha and also OOTYULTRA. Hybrid Race and Ultra Running, who would’ve thought? But then, I remember my Coach doing it and he guided me and planned my runs perfectly. Thank you, Dr. V @giftoffitness :))

Sunil, my Strength Coach, told me he was going to compete as well and I was over the moon. Some of my favourite people were competing in HYROX and I wanted to be there as much as I could.

@thaduri_srikant , the best partner one could ask for. He just said, “We’ll do this, together. Come what may, we’ll finish the race strong”. I always told him that I want to be an equal partner unlike the reels I watched where the guys did majority of the work and the girls barely contributed. I poured my soul into training. Even on days Srikanth travelled, I showed up for training.

Fast forward to race day, I was more than ready but yes, we had a dramatic start. I ran into the metro alone and boys didn’t (Srikanth and Mo) and I had no phone. I’ll share more about what happened.

Our biggest wins, I ran 3 lanes in Farmers Carry (24 kgs each), Burpee Broad Jumps and we had 0 “no reps or fouls” in Wall Balls. What a strong finish!

Geeno looked at our gels and said I need to take 3 and I just listened to him. I finished strong with energy still in my kitty :))

Thank you Geeno, Mo, Sunil and Rahul for cheering for us ♥️.

Thank you, Coach, for getting me ready for HYROX.

@sunil_prince_06 , thank you for making me stronger 💪🏽.

Special thanks to my girl Nat, Jem, my JoArmy, Cyril, Chandu, Christine and my wonderful bunch for being my biggest supporters.

@outstride.running , thank you for the customised race day outfits. I raced in comfort and style :))

Since, everyone knows the format, I’m not going to write about it.

But yes, people who doubted I could race with men’s weights - I hope you don’t doubt any woman ever again!!!
