About Performance Running Coaching
I run this coaching group like a tribe, not just a class. Here, "ubuntu" means your win is our win, and every finish line is crossed together. If you want to push your limits—whether it’s your first 5k or a wild ultra—I'm all in with you.
How I Coach
I mix old-school grit with data-driven marathon preparation. We use numbers to make smart choices, but I never forget you’re human. I want you to make running a habit, not just a phase. Some days, the legs are dead, but if you give all you’ve got, that’s perfect.
What We Train For
- Marathon & half-marathon prep with a structured running training plan. We break it up into blocks, focus on pacing, fueling, and making sure you peak at the right time. When you nail that PB, bas bahut badhiya (that’s awesome).
- Ultramarathons like Khardung La? Ha, it’s tough, but we dig deep and celebrate hard.
- 5k/10k speed — we hit the track for intervals and hill sprints to build that quick burst.
Our Weekly Rhythm
- Track Tuesdays for speedwork.
- Hill training for strength.
- Long Sunday runs across Delhi’s best routes—India Gate, Lal Qila, Chandni Chowk—mazza hi aa jata hai (it’s just too much fun).
For All Runners
Anyone from 7 to 63 can join. Women get guidance on shoes, gear, running during pregnancy, even nutrition chats (iron, calcium—sab cover karte hain).
If you want to run better, tougher, and with a crazy supportive crew, you’re in the right place.

My Story
Started as a bodybuilder, ended up a runner. Shoulder injury changed my game, running became my peace. In 2017, we kicked off New Delhi Road Runners, not just to clock miles but to build a technology-driven running club. Ubuntu is my jam - we’re all in this together. Awards? Nice, but real joy is seeing our tribe lift each other up. Ye Delhi hai mere yaar. Bas Ishq Mohabbat Pyar.
