When you are a startup founder, to cope it's either drugs or training. I chose training.

India takes a school teachers approach to scolding their athletes after Asian games disappointment. Is this an Olympic mindset?

Mobile Gaming has entered an age of anarchy. Every game is treated as if open source now. Agents are decompiling, inferring and reconstructing everything. Your backend is not safe, your carefully tweaked game balance is not safe, the art is certainly not safe. $130b Market. Carthago delenda est.

I hope our children are fools who love to run. That's the best thing a person in this world can be. A fool who loves to run.

POV: After completing an Ultra, regular Marathons become your slightly long weekend interval workout.

If you are running Bangalore Marathon why not join Keerthi and I at Cubbon Park tomorrow for a shakeout run? After the shakeout we will discuss course strategy at Airlines with special expert guests! Free tempo fuel for everyone... right Keerthi?

My Khardung La race report is live on geeks on feet! This is written as a resource for runners who want to take on one of Indias most challenging ultra marathons. Bottom line: When you run to the top of the world. Don't forget that you need to come back down to earth.
How do you plan a race that climbs for 32 km into the thin air at 5,370m, then descends 40 km into Leh with an ambitious 8 hour finish? @Agent_Oli takes us inside his Khardung La Challenge, from training through injury and acclimatising in Leh to racing one of the most demanding courses.
