## About Coach on the Podium: Leading by Example

My coaching isn't about handing you a generic schedule and checking in once a month. Whether we are tackling hill sprints at KTPO or long endurance sessions at Cubbon Park, I run every drill alongside you. I’ll provide immediate, real-time feedback on your form—'Seedha daud, sir upar'—because fixing your head position and landing mechanics early is the only way to prevent the kind of recurring injuries that sideline most runners.

### Beyond the Finish Line

Training isn't just about clocking miles; it is about respecting your body. As someone managing the real-world aches of perimenopause while still chasing podium finishes, I know that 'training hard' has to be balanced with smart recovery. I don't give copy-paste plans. We focus on periodized training, pacing strategy, and biomechanics to ensure you are actually improving, not just tiring yourself out.

### How We Train

*   **Form First:** If you aren't landing softly or keeping your posture straight, you are just waiting for a shin splint to happen. I monitor your posture during every interval.
*   **The Science of Speed:** We use heart-rate zones and VO2 max training at our Whitefield and Cubbon Park sessions to get you results, not just sweat.
*   **Yoga Se Hi Hoga:** Strength and flexibility are the missing pieces for most runners. My sessions include dedicated mobility and yoga flows to keep you running for years, not just until your next race.

### Joining the Champions Tribe

We are a community that trains together and celebrates together. From post-run lassi to traveling to major city marathons, this is where the grit meets the fun. If you are serious about your goals—whether it's your first 10K or a Boston qualification—you'll find the support you need here.

## About Neera Katwal

I’m Neera. My life is a balance of IIT-level discipline and the grit of a runner dealing with age and reality. I don’t just watch from the sidelines; I’m right there in the rain with you, proving that we can always reach a new personal best.
