For someone who did not enjoy strength training much, the Strength & Conditioning Coach made sure that aspect changed. His workouts were very apt, and progressively gained difficulty which was way better than loading me with a lot all at once. The online sessions with him were very beneficial to correct form and his overall contribution to enable me to gain strength was really appreciated. All In Running has been fabulous with its focus on holistic training and I have really enjoyed the process so far.

All In Running is, as its initials suggest, AIR -- and fresh air at that. It blows away hidebound expectations of a running program by focusing on far more than racing and increasing one's best timings. Air is all around us, and All In Running too focuses on the larger picture of our environs -- from what we eat to the terrain we run through -- making us not just better runners but also healthier, more ecologically attuned citizens of our world.

I signed up for a six-month program with All In-Running as a run-up to the 2019 New Delhi Marathon and it has been a most beautiful journey since. While I have been a consistent runner for the past few years, having participated in a few half marathons, I never signed up for a program. Like many of us, I believed that running is just running, plain and simple, so why all the fuss of signing up for a program. But, I must say that the discovery by being in the All In-Running program has been amazing. What I like about it is the focus on injury-free running.

I joined All In Running in the year 2017 after I decided that I wanted to run a full marathon. I was directed to All In Running by a friend who was at the time training under the program. It’s been such a joyful, satisfying and an empowering journey for me. My coach continues to take my running ability to another level, something I had never imagined I could accomplish or even attempt. The extremely scientific and mindful coaching methodology of All In Running has resulted in two podiums and a 3:53 NY marathon for me.

I joined the All In Running program in preparation for my second Mumbai Full Marathon (TMM-2018), although I had been regularly taking (very helpful) advice from Nakul, founder of All In Running, in the run-up to TMM – 2017 and ADHM – 2018. Since I had some success in those runs, I decided to join All In Running formally. I had run my first full marathon in 3:35:29. My aim was to qualify for Boston, and so I wanted to run the race within 3:30.

I started my running journey 4 years ago, on January 2015. I struggled a lot initially with injuries, stamina and strength building. I learnt a lot from other runners and books and started doing well in 2016.

For nearly a decade, running has been a way of unwinding. Call it a guilt-ridden compensation for an unhealthy lifestyle, a form of meditation or precious me-time, running has been unquestionably sacrosanct. However, in the last couple of years, I had hit a lull with a huge dip in enthusiasm and performance. After careful consideration, I signed up with All In Running to rebuild my running base. Being mentored by my coach was an unusual experience initially – never had I journal led every run or discussed them at great length.

After engaging in various fitness-related activities (cycling, running, gymming, etc) randomly and sparingly in the last 20 years, I began my running journey with All In Running in April 2018. I’ve always been indisciplined in most fitness activities I have engaged in and always pick up an injury in pursuit of achieving results too fast too soon. Another reason for me getting injured was my dependence on the internet or random advice coming from just anyone and everyone.
