Won't be surprised if Lalbaugcha Raja Pandal is declared as VIP only in future. The treatment is so highly visible in a single frame.
High time Mumbai Police takes over the crowd management, otherwise, slowly will lose essence amongst the common public.

To all those who ask me, why I run, this is the answer. The community is just so amazing , around the world.
Look at the way spectators are cheering Bhutan athlete Kinzang Lhamo, the last one in the race, to the finish line!

Navi Mumbai has such a dustbin every 200mts - almost in all streches. This is merely with an annual budget of ₹4,950 crore.
Mumbai has none, even with an annual budget of over 12 times at ₹59,954 c, forget the equivalent lying in FD.
INTENT is missing. Such a shame

North bound Cheddanagar flyover: 🛣️
Sign-boards are erected. Asphalt surfacing is being done between the flyover and the existing road.
Open to the public this weekend? Possible!
A typical drunk and driving case hitting a runner at a prime location like Worli Sea Face is something a runner in Mumbai will never forget.

. Sincerely condolences to your loved ones.
Holding my first (full) marathon BIB. At the moment, I'm happy, excited, anxious, and nervous, to be at the start line.🥲🥳
All I'm gonna do is to trust the training, run my heart out and enjoy my first marathon.
Wishing the best to all.

⚠️ PB Alert! 1:31:56 at the Valéncia Half Marathon! Amazing weather, amazing support.
I sincerely wished I'd trained. The scope was huge. Happy to take this with all the present real-life turbulence. Onwards and upwards!
Thank you for all the support & wishes.♥️🤗
@ItsDeshmukh
Like I have stopped. I do take darshan on the visarjan day. It also gets into a stampede situation, but atleast I ain't losing my self respect.

Plans? Just gonna have fun. Honestly low on training except for the last two weeks.

Congratulations to all the finishers. Lovely meeting runners friends - they are the best.🙌🤗

#TCSWorld10K
today. It's not about the timing, but about the momentum I couldn't hold on after 6KMs. Nevertheless, finishing in 46:30 is a dream for many, and I was able to clock it amidst less intensity training because of Mumbai's humid weather.
4:20 is the unofficial timing!🫣
Take aways:
➡️ Good first half
➡️ Surviving 20 miler (first stop here)
➡️ A decent humbling last 10K - finished with energy
Mentally strong run, didn't abuse myself like I did in TMM.😂 A much needed mental barrier breaker run before TMM.
Went out on a plan to run at least 25K. Stopped at 19.6, took a rickshaw and went home. I just felt both mentally and physically tired.
Bad runs are okay - they are a run after all.
Paced 1:50 HM @ Lokmat Maha Marathon. A rolling course. Thankfully had a local runner guiding me while I was helping him maintain the pace. Did a smart pacing over. A group of 4 stuck together till the end, with everyone clocking a sub 4 30 at the end, courtesy declines.
Done and dusted WMC Navy Half! Didn't go all-out but did struggle as well in the second half.
PS: Race review soon!
Pudhil/Agla/Next station: Vasai Virar Marathon, IMO India's best Half Marathon.
Every major milestone in Mumbai's infrastructure development just makes me thank none other than

U-girder set to be installed in JVLR Line 6 metro.
Done and dusted with the much loved Vasai Virar Marathon. Sticks to its USP.
Unofficially a 3 secs PB for me. Chased HM at 1:33:04. Started the race a few mins late to catch-up with friends on the Insta360 - first hand experience. Had a slow start because of the crowd.

Thank you Mumbai Road Runners

for the felicitation and to everyone, specially my running group Tilaknagar Running Club who nominated me. Thank you Twitter (XRunners) for all constant motivation.

@geeksonfeet
Struggled the last 10K. Couldn't lift legs, probably because of yesterday's tempo. But that was the plan, & happy to stick to it.
Runners, may the city of dreams, Mumbai, cheer you with the sea breeze, the vibrant atmosphere, and the dhol tasha in your every stride at the

32K long run - my longest training run so far!🤩💪🙈
Almost even first half, followed by progressive second half. Gotta admit, this was my toughest ever progressive attempt.🫣
Shakeout run in Valencia, and also Break-in Run with the ASICS Magic Speed 3.
And Bappa, the efforts feel so easy here in contrast to Mumbai. Not complaining. Slaying in Mumbai helps big time!

énciaHalfMarathon, Kenya's Kibiwott Kandie, who clocked 57:40, the fourth-fastest time in history, also the former WR holder on the streets of Valéncia.
Repeat after me. BKC is the ideal place for High Speed terminal in Mumbai and Aarey is for Metro 3 carshed.
Rest all can move to Antarctica for stopping ice from melting.
Roads in my native in Tuticorin is far far better than roads in Mumbai.
My uncle who's apolitical says EPS has done way qualitative job in interior roads.
It's been a week since my first marathon, yet to come out of that zone.🥳 I did not run since then, but there's one thought that's running on my mind since I crossed finish line:

I gave my first Inspiration Medal from the Tata Mumbai Marathon to the most deserving person, my mother.♥️ A role model, a support and the love in every step of my journey. Difficult to put it in words.
Who did you give yours first and the present one to?

. Otherwise I would have underestimated the marathon distance.
Now I know that nothing comes easy and there's a huge scope for improvisation.
Saying that, I'm absolutely elated with what I aced. Thankful for everything!🙏
Today's 10K at a local run event in Bandra. Officially my second fastest 10K @ 45:54. Overall, I struggled post 7K, while the first few KMs were buttery, even better than Bangalore W10K. Gotta work more on long speed workouts and change focus to half marathon now.
Last night's 18K! Tough one to say. Not much mileage, not managing time, but has to get this done to build up some confidence. Weather was not great either, but I had an amazing like-minded company (the Comrades Runner🤭). That means a lot.
22K, the final long before

I'm honestly clueless AF for people calling this a black money. The beneficiaries are all the parties. The contribution to BJP is more since they are expected to come to power once again. This is a mere donation obviously a friend with benefits, but a legalised one.
A progressive 10K breaking-in Asics Gel Nimbus 25. Initial thoughts and detailed review soon on

First thoughts - cushy yet stable. I feel the cushion even when climbing down stairs. Unarguably the best looking Nimbus.
Done and dusted with my third ever pacing assignment. It was amazing to push many folks especially at the end of the race and it feels amazing when they come and thank you later.

I had lower expectations from the race, considering the venue change, but honestly had a better experience. Summarising it below.
