Amidst all my running posts, @thegaticlub fam stepped up as my official DOPs for the evening. They really took the line “Zameen se utha ke Star bana dunga” seriously! 😂

Shoutout to @sardarniii01 for making me look somewhat presentable today! 😜 taken in Gurugram by @trailsofshasha

A moment of pride to be a part of this iconic run event in the memory of the only Param Vir Chakra Awardee in Indian Air Force, Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon.

Yes, that’s Sekhon IAF Marathon 2026. taken in India Gate - New Delhi, India by @trailsofshasha

Functional lower-body workout focusing more on mobility🏃🏻‍♂️

Started with four glute-focused movements which I couldn’t shoot

* Bent-Leg Glute Kickbacks
* Straight-Leg Donkey Kickbacks
* Fire Hydrant Hip Abductions
* Side-Lying Hip Adductions

Then followed with:

* Sissy Squats
* Lateral Squat Walks
* Squat to Reverse Lunges
* Lateral Lunges
* Plyometric Bulgarian Split Squats
* Tibialis Raises
* Single-Leg Calf Raises

The focus isn’t on chasing hypertrophy or simply adding muscle size.

For running, I’d rather build functional strength, stability, mobility, balance and control… strength that helps me produce force, mobility that allows me to move efficiently, and stability that helps me stay strong through every stride.

Not training just to build bigger muscles.
Training to become a stronger, more capable human with strong endurance as well.

By the way, workout with @sachin_yadavv is always an incredible experience. taken in Gurugram by @trailsofshasha

Living up to the handle: @trailsofshasha is officially back on the dirt tracks! 🌲

Yesterday’s grind through the gorgeous, raw greenery around Damdama Lake was absolutely worthwhile… easily one of the most memorable runs in recent times.

An incredible trail experience, an amazing community vibe, and a massive checklist ticked off as a rock-solid prep for the upcoming Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon and the Procam Slam circuit. The grind doesn’t stop! 🔥

LONG CAPTION ALERT 🚨 ‼️

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would venture into long distance running. I was completely comfortable with hybrid and strength training, but life changed tracks. Thanks to @nikunjsaurabh , my entire world transformed beautifully.
It didn’t just change for me. Nikunj turned a personal vision into reality for over 4,000 people, inspiring them to fall in love with this sport. Under his wing, runners starting at 10K have crushed full marathons, the Procam Slam… and are now leaping into Ironman and Triathlon distances. He built a launchpad for unstoppable athletes.
@thegaticlub was born on August 15th, and I joined a week later. Slowly, the miles brought us closer, and the lines blurred. Every single member started feeling like family. Nikunj quickly felt like a younger brother to me; someone I’d protect and even fight with, driven by that raw brotherly vibe. Our Wednesday and Sunday runs became my ultimate escapade from daily dull drums.
Before this, I only knew two lives: my home and my work life. Today, I live a third, beautiful life with the Gati Club. I cannot imagine life without this community. I have found my best friends and an irreplaceable emotional support system here. When life gets heavy, this rare extended family is right there to listen, lift you up, and protect you.
Swipe through to see the absolute madness from our 1st anniversary yesterday! From crushing celebratory miles to cutting cake and hitting the pickleball and paddle ball courts… yesterday proved our vibe is unmatched. To everyone who showed up: you are the heartbeat of this family.
It all traces back to one man. Nikunj has poured his absolute soul and energy into this movement, running it 24/7 in his mind through endless sleepless nights. This club is his baby. Over the last 365 days, he has nurtured and pampered this infant idea into the vibrant one year old boy we see today. I can say with immense pride that Nikunj is the absolute best father this running club could have ever asked for.
Happy 1st Birthday, the Gati Club. Thank you, Nikunj, for giving us a home on the run. 🎂🏃‍♂️🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️❤️ taken in Gurugram by @trailsofshasha

Just a guy pretending this mug isn’t completely empty. Life is a lot like this picture: mostly just good lighting, fake confidence, and smiling at the emptiness to make room for what’s coming next. Keeping it classy on the outside, completely chaotic on the inside, and letting the universe handle the rest. ☕✨ taken in Gurugram by @trailsofshasha

Sometimes the post-run rituals are actually more fun than the kilometres themselves 😀 Whatever you do, DO NOT miss the last slide; @anurag_202 bhaiya and me losing our minds in that dance video 🕺

@thegaticlub never fails to amaze us with fun events post run.

And I can’t forget to mention @nidhiwadhera77 for always making sure that she clicks the best of us; and @abhishek.singh.bisen with his impeccable hands on his DSLR camera 🤗 taken in Gurugram by @trailsofshasha

Better late than never! Still thinking about one of the most iconic runs with @thegaticlub from Galleria Market, Gurgaon to India Gate, New Delhi.

As much as I love running and sharing miles with these amazing people, my social media timing is a solid crawl. 😜

Adding one of the most inspiring memories of my life to the feed.

PS: The 25.6 km run was incredible, but volunteering for it was the absolute best part.
