Proud to complete my 7๏ธโฃth Full Marathon ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธwith:
๐น0 practice
๐น0 coaching
๐น0 supplements (protein, gels)
๐น100% pure vegetarian
๐น200% willpower
Crossing the finish line ๐ was a powerful reminder: ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐.
Seeing the last milestone en route – ๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐จ – was one of the most delightful sights of the year for me..
Tata Mumbai Marathon is the largest marathon in Asia as well as the largest mass participation sporting event on the continent. It is the richest race in India with a prize pool of US$405,000 (or more)!!!
With record-breaking 68,000 runners this time, it is the biggest conclave of the fitness enthusiasts, runners, and dreamers in India!!!
This yearโs course was tougher with added elevation due to the Coastal Road inclusion, but also more scenic than ever.
A sunrise like that is a once-a-year privilege.
Grateful for kind weather (lower temperatures, reduced humidity, improved AQI) and for the incredible energy of the crowd, from 80+ year-old supporters to persons with disabilities cheering us on. The warmth and hospitality along the route were truly overwhelming.
The quirky placards along the way helped distract from the pain and brought much-needed smiles.
A special shoutout to the Greater Mumbai Police for their seamless coordination and unwavering support โ exemplary execution in a city that never slows down.
Completing a full marathon feels like an annual health check-up > no lab reports required.
And yes, timing was better than last year’s, although not my personal best, but that is what you get with no practice.!!!
