Profile Information

How often do you run?
A few times a week
Where do you run?
I run in an around Ulsoor lake/ frazer town/ Cooke town area.
At cubbon park on certain Saturdays and Sundays.
I also participate in RFL's fortnightly runs so end up running in other places like GKVK, Bellundur, Airport perimeter route.
Why do you run?
A lot of reasons.
Apart from fitness and to burn out enormous amounts of food i eat, endorphins et.al.
i like running because
Teaches me humility. Keeps me grounded.
I get to meet people, make many friends.
I get a lot of time to think when i'm running alone. Organize my thoughts, clear my head.
I like the simplicity of it. Simple mechanical movement. can it get easier than this?
I get to push my body and mind to the limit. I get to know myself better.
But at the end of the day i run because i feel like running.and i guess that's reason enough. :)
What is the longest distance you have ever run?
The max i have run is the marathon distance 42.195kms a couple of times
I registered for 52K at the Bangalore Ultra last year but could do only 39K
What is your personal best timing? (please mention the distance and time)
5K - 21 mins 5 secs at one of the Nike run club runs at Cubbon park
10K - 44mins.40secs at one of the Nike run club runs at Cubbon park
21K - 1 hours 50 mins at Hyderabad Half marathon in 2006
42K - 5 hours 4 mins at Kaveri Trail marathon in 2007

Lucozade Sport Urban Stampede 2010

Posted on August 10, 2010 at 10:30 4 Comments

Happy to report a successful RFL event yesterday at Lucozade Sport Urban Stampede. An unprecedented 294 teams took part and this is the first time an RFL event is hitting over a 1,000 runners (1,176 to be exact). The thought behind starting the Stampede was to encourage running groups inside companies. This really has worked out. What we had not realized was the crucial role some of the regular RFL runners will play to get more and more people into running from their respective workplaces. We… Continue

Arvind - at the main discussion page, the discussions need to be scrolling up depending upon the latest entries - it is not happening now - could you please look into this.

Congrats on your PB!

I crossed start mat at 7:47 on Start line clock. Ended with finish mat clock displaying 9:03 AM. So I'm assuming the start line clock is time counting from Gun time as race started at 8AM. so confused.

Fantastic mate! How was yours?

Timing Tech registered me 1 Hr 43 Secs. Started 8 mins after gun time, so feel my personal chip start time was not recorded. See you soon!

Dear Mr. Arvind,

Looking forward to your runs! just wanted to know - How do I collect the tshirt or do you guys courier it to the address? Also, do you give a membership card or something(The ID is a bit too long to remember!) or how does one go about it? 

Regards,
Rohini Sen
