How did your athletic journey begin…
My stint with athletics began in my childhood. I have always been an outdoor person & my father took keen interest in supporting my talent and nurtured it till my teenage years. From field events like Discus throw, javelin & long jump to team sports like volleyball, kho-kho, ball, badminton to everything in between! I had played the state prelims for hockey when I was 15 & was actively involved in inter-college sport events till my Engineering days.
Fast forward to Dec 2014, we were sponsored by our company for a 10km event at the Midnight Marathon in Bengaluru. It was my first ever run post college days & I fell in love with the sport, even though I struggled to finish it in 75 mins. There was no stopping me post that & I was fortunate that my in-laws along with hubby were supportive of my madness. 10k turned to marathons & I graduated to ultra marathons 4 years ago.
Sport to me is…
The best possible way to experience freedom & explore our physical,emotional & spiritual boundaries. It’s a wonderful medium to meet people, hear their story & possibly make an impact through our journey.
A Sports Personality I look up to…
Courtney Dauwalter- The Ultra running queen for her humility, perseverance & approach to running.
My favourite Unived product is…
I have been a loyal customer of Unived’s Supergreens, Vit B12+ D3 & Organic Spirulina for over 2 years now. Since I have never used gels or electrolyte drink mixes in my running journey till now, I am excited to try them & find my new favourites!
I nourish my soul with…
A quiet hike in the hills with my hubby, experimenting with different cuisines at home, a solo long run & meditation!
My goals for this year are…
Qualify for the Championships & represent the country in 24 hours category in July
Run a 100 Miler
Get back to trails!
