Coaching for Ultra Marathons and Hill Runs

Running an ultra isn't a linear progression. Whether you are aiming for the Tata Ultra Marathon or preparing for a technical trail race, the challenge is as much cognitive as it is physical.

The Reality of Hill Training

Most runners treat hills as an afterthought. We do the opposite. I use specific drill work and interval training to normalize the incline. When you train on steep gradients, we work on your stride frequency and posture, ensuring you aren't wasting energy fighting the slope.

Mental Resilience vs. Physical Prep

In my own races, like at Lonavala, I have learned that the finish line is often reached after the brain decides to quit. My coaching goes beyond the PDF workout plan. We look at:

• Fueling Strategy: What to eat when you are hours in and your appetite is gone.
• Gear Checks: Identifying shoe stability needs based on your gait and the terrain type.
• The 'Dark' Phase: Preparing for the psychological dip that happens in the middle of long-distance events.

I treat you like a serious athlete, not a hobbyist. If you are ready to stop guessing and start training with data-backed pacing, strength drills, and recovery protocols, we will get it done.
