Profile

How often do you run?
A few times a week
Where do you run?
I run in an around Ulsoor lake/ frazer town/ Cooke town area.
At cubbon park on certain Saturdays and Sundays.
I also participate in RFL's fortnightly runs so end up running in other places like GKVK, Bellundur, Airport perimeter route.
Why do you run?
A lot of reasons.
Apart from fitness and to burn out enormous amounts of food i eat, endorphins et.al.
i like running because
Teaches me humility. Keeps me grounded.
I get to meet people, make many friends.
I get a lot of time to think when i'm running alone. Organize my thoughts, clear my head.
I like the simplicity of it. Simple mechanical movement. can it get easier than this?
I get to push my body and mind to the limit. I get to know myself better.
But at the end of the day i run because i feel like running.and i guess that's reason enough. :)
What is the longest distance you have ever run?
The max i have run is the marathon distance 42.195kms a couple of times
I registered for 52K at the Bangalore Ultra last year but could do only 39K
What is your personal best timing? (please mention the distance and time)
5K - 21 mins 5 secs at one of the Nike run club runs at Cubbon park
10K - 44mins.40secs at one of the Nike run club runs at Cubbon park
21K - 2 hours 2 mins at Hyderabad Half marathon in 2006
42K - 5 hours 4 mins at Kaveri Trail marathon in 2007

Hi Arvind,just read the reason why you run- its simply direct from heart, its exactly what every person does when we run and also came across photos of Nike Run club race - The coach who is training all of RFL members is he Mr Bidu Sir - coz i too was an trainee and he was my coach for some yrs .
