My Ultramarathon Experience @ GR Bhatti Lakes 2013

I would like to start by saying that I completed these 50 kms for you all. I was injured, thought will do it next year but I wanted to be back with helluva story for everyone :) . Here it goes…


I got a chance to interact with Mr Arun Bharadwaj , the legendary runner of India, in one of the events of Adidas. We became friends on fb. And one day randomly I asked him if he knows of some good squash coach in the city. He asked me why don’t you get into running? There are hardly any female ultramarathon runners in the country. There is no female ultramarathon runner who runs international races to represent the country. I told him sir, I have run just one long distance race (The delhi half marathon) till now and my timing is very poor. I am not a speed runner but I can endure. He said, let us start the training and see .. And there it started.
