Exactly 4 years ago, I was introduced to the world of Ultramarathons. Despite the COVID wave and winter Delhi pollution, I trained hard for a 100 KM run for the entire year. On the day of the ultramarathon, something felt off, I was the last finisher, and I struggled throughout the run. 2 days later I figured I was COVID +ve all this while. I grew up a child with severe allergy-induced asthma. Diwalis were hard. The change of seasons meant weekly pulmonologist visits and courses of inhalant steroids. Never in my wildest dreams, had I imagined that I would one day run for 16 hours non-stop with a lung infection. Running ultras was never a part of the plan when I started, I just wanted to be able to run 5 KM without stopping and wanted to just stop feeling weak every year when the seasons changed. I have struggled with self-doubt throughout my life and I continue to, but, that first 100K serves as a reminder to keep taking plunges. I took my 2017 New Year resolution not in January, but in May, when I finally decided enough is enough and it changed my life forever. I know people are demonizing NY resolutions and I get it, it's too much pressure, but I want to reach out to anyone who feels trapped by their circumstances, please take that first step, it's okay if it does not happen on 1st Jan. More importantly, dream small, do your 5K.

I saw virat’s O’cean flavoured water ads. I can bet he will never consume it. 1 glass of this will cost you 100 calories. Don’t try to supercharge your water and complicate stuff. If you replace your regular water intake with this, you can easily gain 1 kg weight every week. Stay basic, drink water, add namak if you sweat a lot.

@ganeshunwired Pretty common in Delhi winters

@Hristart @AltraRunning Ask a friend coming from the US! Indian listing (if you find one) will be super expensive

RT @_thedescent_: Weird how on a long run you can go from feeling terrible to being on top of the world, the fittest man alive, to back in…

True story: I once saw a drugged, homeless person shi**ing on the side of the road, no policeman tried to control him! But yeah, Ed Sheeran is a nuisance for sure.

RT @chiragbarjatyaa: We helped many people setup home gym, from 20-30k to 3-5 lakh. Should I post a thread on it? Anyone interested in know…

Day 15/100: Poor sleep because of movie with friends last night, but managed a 12K with 2 friends. I am not much of a group-running type of person, but once in a while, it feels great! PS: Yesterday was Day 14, there's a typo there. Sleep Score: 75 Dist: 12 Km Time: 1h 19 min 36 s Avg HR: 163 bpm Total distance so far: 108 Km Total distance this week: 28.2 Km

RT @srikosuri: It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendr…

@deeppurpled Lol! Are you in India?

Day 15/100: A well managed interval session! Felt unrecovered and sore from yesterday’s strength session, but after warm up, I felt in the zone. Sleep Score: 95 Dist: 6.24 Km Time: 43 min 35 s Avg HR: 164 bpm Total distance so far: 95 Km

Ozempic/WeGovy (GLP-1 analogs) is the new rage to cure obesity, if we look at history it is clear that it’ll have no impact on the rise of obesity! Nature of jobs changed so gym subs, pedometer etc were invented, but we as a whole only became more inactive! Insulin delivery systems were created to manage diabetes whereas diabetes only grew exponentially. Countries that are richer (abundance of food) are unhealthier! SSRIs were invented to cure depression, and depression has only risen after it. This is the ultimate health paradox!

You inhale 4x more air while running than when you are at rest, so it's better to sit at home than go out and run in dirty air, right? Wrong! If you are not working out because you are scared of a poor AQI, you are sacrificing dollars for pennies.

After the walkaway incident from the WTF podcast, most people are criticizing @bryan_johnson because they don't understand obsession (in a good- changing the world way). Hence there is less factual criticism and more personal criticism.

Day 13/100: 10K is the new 5K. Wasn’t recovered well due to intense travel at ungodly hours. But still managed the effort pretty well. Sleep Score: 86 Dist: 10 Km Time: 1h 9 min 44 s Avg HR: 158 bpm Total distance so far: 88 Km

The best part of selling a high value item is that while such 👇🏻conversations rarely materialize, just a couple of such cracks can catapult the business to 100Cr revenue range!

@arindam___paul I was very close to buying stuffcool magnetic charger, but their rating on Amazon is sub 4.0 I wonder why

Day 12/100: Intervals are the most intimidating but highest RoI training days. After 3 weeks of trying, I was finally able to pace myself to complete the sets. Plan to manage effort better so that the last 2 sets are stronger Sleep Score: 84 Dist: 6 KM Time: 39 min 30 s Avg HR: 168 bpm Total Dist so far: 78 KM This week: 25KM (3 runs)
