Run With Nikhil
Last year (2025), I was confused about who to give my inspiration medal to because I was torn between three people who truly shaped my running journey — Jay, Mitsu, and Noorain.
Jay has always been there for me, guiding me and helping me grow as a runner.
Mitsu kept inspiring me with her podium finishes, and in 2025, I ran that marathon with her in my heart, especially for her dog who passed away just weeks before the race 🐾🤍
Noorain has been my biggest supporter — believing in me when it mattered the most and even helping me get my first sponsorship.
In 2025, I gave my inspiration medal to Jay.
But inspiration doesn’t end in one year — it keeps evolving.
This year, Tata Mumbai Marathon 2026, my inspiration is my best friend, Mitsu 🤍
I truly believe friends can be our biggest inspiration because we learn so much from them — not just about running, but about life.
Apart from running, I deeply admire Mitsu’s dedication to yoga 🧘♂️✨ — her discipline, balance, and mindset motivate me every single day.
Jay and Noorain continue to be my strength, my support system, and my constant motivation. I wouldn’t be here without them.
There are also many others who have supported me throughout this journey — the running community, friends, and everyone who stood by me step by step.
My goal has always been simple: to motivate others and keep spreading positivity through running.
And I promise — I will keep doing exactly that. 🏃♂️🧿 ❤️

21.1 KM — Finished 19th Overall!
Chip Time ⏱️ 1:34:45
Category (26–35 yrs Male) — 6th Place
This was my first-ever hill race at IIT Bombay, and I gave my 100% effort to make it to the Top 3.
In fact, I was among the top 3 runners during the first half, but after 13 km my pace started to slow down. The reason — I’d been unwell for the last 10 days, struggling with cold and cough, which made it hard to breathe properly.
Some of you might have noticed it in my last Sunday’s 45 km practice run — my breathing was heavy, and my voice wasn’t clear. Even during the race, I was facing the same challenge as my throat was sore and congested. 🥺
But no regrets — every race teaches something new. 🙏
Even though I missed the podium, I’m happy to secure 6th place in my category for the first time. Last time, I was 8th — so yes, there’s a small step forward, not in time but in ranking. 💪
Now, my next goal is clear — to break my personal best of 1:28:29 very soon. I truly believe I can, and I’ll come back stronger, faster, and better in the next race. 🔥🏃♂️
A big thank you to my Run With Nikhil family for always being there on race day — cheering, meeting, clicking pictures, and sharing love & support. You all make every finish line feel extra special for me. ❤️🙌

And I researched which Starbucks coffee tastes best! 😂
Ordered Belgium Chocolate Frappuccino Coffee — totally worth it 🤌✨
But ₹680 for one coffee 😅 Nikhil be like — “Isme to pura Nestlé Coffee bottle aa jata ghar ke liye!” 🤭
No doubt — taste 🔥, vibes 💯, experience ☕✨

42 KM — Finished 11th Place!
Last year I ranked 19th, so this year I’m really happy to see a bit of improvement in my running journey 💪✨
This was my 2nd year running in Pune, and honestly, it felt amazing meeting and talking with all my runner friends and supporters 🫶
I can’t even express how special you all made my day — your love and encouragement truly mean the world to me ❤️
Coming to Pune made me realize how many runners genuinely support and love me. You guys are the best — Love you, Pune! 🏙️
I’ll definitely be back next year to run again with even more energy and passion 💥
Also felt super lucky to run alongside @comradesmarathon Indian 2nd fastest runner — @trainwithyosa27 🏅 It was an unforgettable experience 🙏

Nobody cares about your story until you WIN 🏆🔥
Mumbai Ultra – The 12-Hour Run 🥇 1st Place – 105 KM 🏃♂️💨 📸 Photo Dump
This victory isn’t just mine; it’s a journey 🙏💛 Two months before the race, @_midatar @sumitmore1019 & @lil_dreamer_gal Tai sat me down and said: Take your running seriously, you’re a good runner.” I listened — and today their words paid off. Thank you from the heart 💛
Big gratitude to my @kiprunrunning_mumbai Family & @skechersgorunclub Family for their constant support throughout 12 hours of relentless cheering 🙌💪. Special thanks to every hydration point team who gave me a true VIP welcome — calling my name “Nikhil Nikhil Aala!” 🤩💚 It felt like coming home each time, being asked “kuch chahiye?” “khana?” while I was still running. Who does that for someone? You all did. ❤️🙏
And a huge shout-out to @biryaniandwine_ & @priyawaghela15 — Shrey captured these videos & cool shots 📸🎥, helped me with vada pav & T-shirt changes at the right time, making my 12-hour race so much easier 🙌. ✨ Priya Ma’am had supported me in the same race back in 2024 when I didn’t even know her, and once again in 2025 she stood by me till the very end — heartfelt thanks Ma’am 🙏💛
When just 1 hour was left and I was completely drained, my friend @advait_sawant came from behind, held my hand and said: Chal Nikhil, thaktos kaay? Mard Maratha aahe tu! 💥 That one line gave me goosebumps & energy to push faster. Without you, maybe 1st place would’ve slipped away. You were like an angel today 👑🙏🔥
To every runner who supported me in this event — even if I don’t know all your names — thank you from my heart ❤️💛. You don’t have to learn running only from the fastest or most popular runners. I learn something from every small runner too. Everyone has their own running story, and I keep getting inspired.
Thank you to my entire running family. Grateful beyond words 🙏🥹🙌❤️
✨ Special thanks to my sponsors — Team @fastandup_india & @sorgen.co_sports — for fueling and supporting this journey. 🙏💛✨

Today’s morning run – 25 km 🏃♂️💨 Met so many new runner friends along the way 🤝💛. This Sunday, once again, randomly met Kartik Bhai – loved running & having fun with him 😄.
After the run, had breakfast at Wankhede Stadium’s Garware Club House 🏟️☕ – the same place where @rohitsharma45 & the @indiancricketteam have their breakfast 🏏✨. I always used to come here to watch cricket matches, but today was my first time having breakfast here – such a happy & memorable Sunday 😍.
Wish I had met Rohit Sharma today too – maybe next time 🤞☺️ #BetterLuckNextTime
