About Gagan

I am an Ultra marathon runner and have completed multiple ultra marathons in past years. In 2022, I completed my 1st 100K Marathon as part of Bangalore Ultra Marathon.
I am a coach from last 3 years and have been coaching several runners from 5K to 42K category. I am based out of Pune and is part of a running community called Runners High. I started coaching as my passion and to help fellow runners, to understand the correct way of running and support them in whatever means. Running for me is a meditation.
By profession I am a Chartered accountant and work for an Investment Bank

Coaching Philosophy

I take a holistic approach that includes more than just run as per metrics. This means different things for different athletes, so your training is built around a combination of hyper-specificity and the necessary adaptability to make changes as we train and progress.
Few of the key elements are as follows:
Go slow, Go steady.
Be transparent and candid to your runners.
Be realistic in setting Goals.
Focus on right training and most important Injury free.
empowering many to make a lifestyle change from 5K to 42K
Focus is to be happy during the process,and have a wonderful performance.
