My Path From 120kg to Marathon Running

My transformation wasn't just about willpower; it was about the 80/20 training principle and learning to listen to my body after a severe spinal injury. When you train with me, we don't just chase speed or medals. We build a sustainable aerobic base so you can run for life, injury-free.

I believe that every runner has a story to rewrite. My own journey began in a dark place, carrying 120kg and struggling with depression. It took time, patience, and eventually, the science of movement to turn that around. When you join Runners360, you are not just signing up for a fitness plan; you are stepping into a community that understands that running is as much a mental practice as it is a physical one.

Why We Train Differently

Most people think that to improve, you must run hard every single day. That is a recipe for burnout and injury. My coaching is built on the 80/20 rule: 80% of our training is at a low, conversational intensity. This builds the aerobic engine required for long-distance running without stressing your joints or nervous system. Whether we are meeting at Cubbon Park for a sunrise session or training at Kanteerava Stadium, the focus remains on quality movement.

The Runners360 Approach

• Science-Backed Progress: We integrate mobility drills and glute activation before every run to ensure your body is ready to perform.
• Strength for Runners: Running is not enough. My online strength classes are designed to bulletproof your body, specifically targeting the core and legs to prevent the kind of injuries I once faced.
• Community Over Competition: You will see us often post-run, sharing coffee and stories. The social aspect is where the real encouragement happens. We are from Namma Ooru, Bengaluru, and we support each other through the good runs and the tough ones.

If you are ready to start, we will look at your current fitness, your history, and your goals. We start where you are, not where you think you should be. Odona Banni!
