Athlete Stories. Real Transformations.

Vikas helped me transform my 70-minute 10K to a 47-minute run within a year! Also completed 3 half marathons under 1:50. His coaching style — no frills, no gimmicks — is what sets him apart. His ability to coach remotely has been consistently effective through virtual sessions.

Coach Vikas and his team are the best! For someone like me who is turning 50 in a few months, running a 5K would have been impossible without the guidance and encouragement of Coach Vikas. His patience, passion, and genuine interest in helping people overcome their physical and mental blocks is unmatched!

I recently completed Philippines Full Ironman under his guidance. Within 3–4 months he improved my 3K pace from 7:00 to 4:15. He also trained me for an ultra 75km that I completed successfully! Absolute professionalism with maturity on display.

I started as someone who couldn't run 300–400 mts at a stretch. Following their training, I was soon able to comfortably run 10Ks. One of the best running clubs in Bangalore. He makes it feel effortless for anyone of any age or fitness level to take up running.

I was not able to run 1km because of breathing issues, and now I run 15kms without stopping. My weight went from 88kg to 78kg. My first 10km was 1:09 with pace 6:49/min — now I have a PB of 54:40 at pace 5:29/min. Thanks to Coach Vikas!

In the worst phase of life I needed something to push me. I started in March and could run 5K today at one GO. It's just not about reaching one milestone but the overall difference it brought in me — feeling better emotionally, physically and mentally. If I can run, anyone can.

My first run of 3km was at pace 8'07". Everyday started with basic drills, uphill training, easy run. 5km at 6'20" pace became normal. Ran 10km in 67 mins twice in the same month. After 2 months of training I see a huge difference — 9kg weight loss and huge pace improvement.

The coaching team lead by Vikas, Prabhu, Mamta, Rahul and Anvesh is very friendly and welcoming. I completed 10K and HM in Bangalore Marathon — and that too without injury! Just come in the early hours to Agara Lake and you will see them near Gate 3!

Runpundit really changed my life. On 27th January 2021 that changed forever — the entire team doesn't teach you to just run, but to enjoy it, to laugh from your stomach and push from the soles of your feet. I was less stressed, started running because I enjoyed it, and weight loss became ancillary.

I started walking in November 2019 at Agara Lake trail and finally committed to running in Feb 2020. Coach helped me increase my stamina through drills and breathing exercises. Recently I could even achieve running 10kms continuously — which would never be possible without this coaching.

Vikas Sir is an exceptional coach for all the teens and kids. Motivation for kids to wake up at 4:30AM and run at 5AM all comes from this team. They provide marathon training from kids of 8 years to elderly persons of even 60s. This is possible only with a passionated trainer like Vikas Sir.

I joined this family 3 months back. I am neither a runner nor a sports person and have never run in my life. And now after 3 months of training I was able to complete 21K which was a dream for me. Together we all are a family and proud to be part of it.

I had been running for 3 years before I came in contact with Runpandit. One session and I was already told reasons for my injury and issues with my form. My form, speed and stamina has only gotten better over 6 months — all done online. Highly recommend.

For a middle-aged, asthmatic and non-runner person like me, Runpundit is a boon. Never aimed to run half or full marathons — my only goal was to trek better and climb mountains with less stress. Vikas Sir helped me achieve that. Running has nothing to do with your asthma.

During pandemic I joined my kids to RUNPUNDIT to keep them fit. Within a month I noticed a lot of improvement in their stamina. I joined too, and could hardly run 100mts at first. Now I run 5kms non-stop in the span of one month! I am grateful to RUNPUNDIT family. Sincere thanks to Coach Vikas.

It's been 3 months since me and my daughter joined this family. Initially I was not able to run 100 meters. With constant practice and guidance I was able to run 3kms in a week's time. Now I can do my 10K without any break. I could achieve this only because of their inspiration and motivation.

Best running coach in the town. I have been training with him for more than 6 months and done 3 events — Half, full marathon and 10K. Achieved personal best in all 3 thanks to his running plans and motivation.

Although I have been running for 10–12 years, I had no formal coaching. I noticed I didn't progress much in efficiency. Then I came in touch with Runpandit. Got a lot of corrections and tips. With professional advice, my runs are more organized and regular, and I know where I am heading.

My dream was to run 5K with a good pace but with weak ankles it was never easy. Runpandit's beautifully designed training schedule not only gave strength to my legs but made tremendous improvement in my pace. After joining Runpandit I have started dreaming big.

I had a plan to do a full marathon but couldn't run even 12km without breathing problems. Runpandit helped me get my posture correct and maintain proper breathing pattern. Now I am able to run 10km under 46 minutes and long runs like 18km easily without any pain.

These are one of the best runners and trainers you will ever get in the world! They are not like your average coach — these people are nice, kind and gentle, but at the same time they push you and motivate you through your running journey. I would recommend anyone to join.

It's a great place to train as a beginner and for professionals. I was not confident of running 10km when I was introduced to Coach Vikas. He could get every tip from him like posture, foot stride, consistency. My biggest 10K achievement came through Runpandit. I'm in love with the training.
