+ PURSUITS +

• Run 5K in under 20 minutes

  My current best is 23 minutes. I want to train consistently enough to hold four-minute kilometres for the full distance.

• Finish HYROX Men's Open Singles in under 90 minutes

  I finished my first HYROX in Delhi in 1 hour 49 minutes 49 seconds after training for about a month. I want to prepare properly and attempt a sub-90-minute finish in 2027.

• Run the Middle-earth Halfling Marathon in Hobbiton

  I have watched The Lord of the Rings 11 times. The Middle-earth Halfling Marathon runs through Hobbiton in New Zealand, including Bag End and the Green Dragon Inn. I want to train for the trail and run through the Shire.

• Run the original Marathon-to-Athens route

  I want to run the route that gave the marathon its name and finish inside the Panathenaic Stadium.

• Climb a 6,000 m peak

  Kanamo brought me within a few metres of 6,000 m. Seeing the mountain from the road the next day made me want to cross that mark. I want to prepare well, acclimatise safely, and climb a 6,000 m peak when the mountain and weather allow it.

• Complete an Ironman 70.3

  This may be the hardest goal here. Delhi has little accessible open water, difficult summers and winters, and only a few comfortable months for outdoor training. I also travel often. Building a steady routine across swimming, cycling, and running will be part of the challenge.

• Run a full marathon

  My first full marathon was the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2026. My longest training run had been 26 km. I got sick around 7 km, recovered, and kept moving with a run-walk rhythm. I crossed the finish line exhausted and proud.
