This run was worlds apart from anything I had done before. It wasn’t a race; there were no other runners around, and it was just me on the road for longer than expected. I took this challenge head-on as a solo run, and that demanded more from me in a varied approach.
This run changed my Life completely as well as gave me a unique identity by doing 161km from Mumbai to Pune on occasion of “Shiv Jayanti” to spread the awareness of Unity among the entire country along with raising funds for Girls Education .
With this endurance challenge, I actually stepped up into the world of ultrarunning. This achievement and entire journey is very close to my heart.
A run that meant more than just distance.
Completed a solo run of 100 miles (around 160 km) from Mumbai to Pune.
This run was recognised in the India Book of Records.
Finished the run in around 36 hours, managing breaks along the way.
Dedicated the run to a social cause, driving awareness around girls’ education.
It’s not just your body that changes when you run alone for the longest time; your psyche also does. At certain moments, I was quiet; there were phases when I doubted myself, and at various points in time, I was absolutely focused. I didn’t think about the end too much; I just kept going.
This run stayed with me for a sustained period. It made me realise that sometimes you don’t need a race to push your limits – you just need a reason.
Some real moments from the road between Mumbai and Pune.
