Nakul is a trail runner and a running coach with a set up called AllinRunning. We met during the Running camp he was organising at the SolFitness Resorts in Ranipet where I was part of the cycling camp headed by Marko Baloh. In between all the fitness related activities we were busy taking part in at the resorts, it was great to sit down for a short chat with Nakul and talk about trail running in India, his running journey and his work at AllinRunning with the aim of providing a well rounded running program. Nakul is very passionate about running and coaching and it comes through in the conversation. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. 0:00 Intro 0:05:15 Relationship with sports growing up 0:06:10 What got him into running, his first half marathon 0:07:45 Journey from half marathon to Ultra distances 0:10:00 First marathon, his HM and Marathon personal bests. 0:15:40 His longest Ultra Run 0:18:20 Differences and similarities between road running and ultra running 0:23:00 How All-In Running started, a wholistic running plan 0:26:00 Mental health being still a taboo 0:27:30 Mental coaching, why sports psychology is important 0:30:30 Nutrition, why the relationship with food is important 0:33:00 His best race 0:35:10 Building communities, Capital trails, FKT loops, trails in NCR, 0:36:30 Self supported races, Handicap races 0:42:10 Tips for working athletes, need for more working athletes, time management, morning routine 0:45:50 Time management, prioritizing, lesser screen time, boundaries 0:48:10 How Venky manages his time 0:52:20 Closing About the Podcast The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports.

Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job. If you like this, share with friends who could be interested.
