Runner's High is a
new initiative based out of Bangalore, India. We provide coaching and
training for runners or walkers, whether novice or advanced. We offer
programmes designed, and led by a team of expert coaches, and
sports medicine specialists, who are themselves runners of repute. Here
is our website -http://www.runnershigh.in
We have trained a lot of runners for Sunfeast 10K, Kaveri Trail races,
Bangalore Ultra, Mumbai marathon and Auroville runs. All our runners
thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The training and coaching constitutes one aspect of Runner's High,
while our primary intent is to reach out to children - to perceive
running and physical activity as an integral part of education. You can
read more about our efforts with children here -

Please do support us by registering for the training programs or
spreading word amongst your friends who are looking for professional,
sensitive and structured coaching.
TESTIMONIALS:
"I enjoyed the whole experience immensely. Being a "senior veteran",
one tends to blame age for a lot of shortcomings. After this program, I
realized that it is possible to be as good as anybody else with proper
training & determination. You guys rock ! Your passion for
running & promoting it amazes me. Keep up the great work !" -

"I couldn't go to Auroville which was a bummer but it's been awesome. 8
weeks were enjoyable. The speed workouts helped, goal paced runs were
helpful. I could see the difference between the first and second
attempts at 26K, when I held the pace. I have been able to learn how
much I could push myself, actually I am probably lot better than I have
given myself credit for in the past. Thanks so much. Other than that, I
think I met a wonderful group of folks. I would like to help out in any
way in what you are planning." - Gautham Sadashiva, Manager/ SW

"I joined this program little late and ended up missing one long run
and couple of week day runs. But over all experience has been great.
Running with a group with a common goal helps so much better. I always
wanted to run more loops thinking that will help me do better at the
marathon. But that seems so untrue. I need to be focused on the
schedule and that's all what it needs to achieve personal best." -

"From tiring out at 6 kms to finishing a half marathon in 2hrs:17 mins
that too in just 2 fun filled months. What more can I ask ?" - Vinay

"I started off running last year and since then I just kept running
without paying much attention to different forms of training (such as
interval/easy/tempo) or for that matter stretches/gait etc. The
training was a revelation as it ensured that we not just run, but also
run correctly.
Being a runner (or rather a fast jogger!), I have experienced the highs
and the lows (as well), but one thing which I've always wanted to do is
1) A 21K in less than 2:30 hrs. (My best has been 2:45)
2) A 10K less than 1 hour
And am banking on Runner's High to experience my real 'high'!" - Vidya

"My experience with Runner's High was as good as it gets! I have
realized my strenghts, handled my short comings, made fun of others and
while doing all of this, made some great friends. I think it has been
an experience which has made me realize that running can be lots of fun
if done with the right set of people. Again, keep up the great work!" -
"I had a fantastic experience which helped kickstart my running
activity after almost 10 years. It was great because i went
from a stage where rubning 2-3 km 2 days a weeks used to
result in knee pains which would prevent from running the rest of the
week.
This program has given me the confidence to run longer distances which
looked pretty much unattainable 12 weeks ago." - Akshay Murthy,
Manager, Sales, Tejas Networks, Sunfeast 10K Program, May 2009

"Difficult to express my joy in words. I feel really elated after the
KTL. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would run a long
distance, especially 21K. Thanks to RH. I enjoyed the first 15K of the
run though it was getting hot and humid. But the last 4 K was tough and
made the run appear more like an attempt to escape the scorching heat!
I was desperately looking forward to see the mark'3K'. In my anxiety at
some point of time, from far, i mistook a paper that had fallen on the
ground for the "3K' mark :-)
I realised the importance of carrying an ipod as I saw people with
their i-pods running better than those without any music gadget. Guess,
music distracts and helps us keep going!
In all, when I look back, I still find it difficult to beleieve that I
HAVE DONE IT!
BUT I HAVE DONE IT! HIP HIP HURRAY!" - Jyothi A.H, Head of Legal,

"If i don't have to sound poetic, I will use the word Beautiful. It is
journey where i discovered a part of myself. I learnt quite a few
things.. Running is like life, one has to run his own run . No matter
what u are and where u are you got run your own run.
Life/Running is not competition is with anyone, it is competition with
yourself, you are competing with your best.
Running is not focus on losing weight(-Ve affirmation - its like you
got to lose something)infact running is postive
affirmation - here u are gaining something, you are gaining
fitnes...you are chasing your target.You learn to focus on right things.
It was beautiful experience to here people telling me i am athlete..and
i would say that no i am not a athelete i am frozen chicken who is out
of fridge just for the run. Insidei felt very good...Transformation
from being labeled as couch potato to being called an athlete...
This is miracle of being with a group who are highly motivated and have
good intention.
Please keep up the good work, Not all people may land up running a
marathon but I am sure they are better equipped to run their own lives.
I had promised someone that I would run 10KM give them as their
Birthday present. Thanks for making that dream come true.
Looking forward for 12.5 KM...
Thanks Santhosh, Manish, Chandra ,Gautham and Preeti and all other
coaches i do truly feel lika rock star :)
You are miracle....continue to change lives..." - Vedashree, S/W

"Excellent experience. I took a long time to decide on whether I should
even join a session like this but in hindsight I can say that it was
absolutely the best decision. The program served to motivate me without
getting preachy or pushy. I got all the right advice & amazing
support. At the same time, I got my space to work things out for
myself. That balance was something I really appreciate." - Vinod

"I had an absolutely great time training with Runner's High ... Thanks
to all the running, I have become fitter and I feel much better about
myself ... Its no longer a training program for me ... Runner's High
now constitutes a group of friends with whom I look forward to running
every weekend ... " - Ajay Ganesh, Hardware Design Engineer,

"- for me running has been a kind of discovery - feel i have
re-invented myself.
- i feel fitter than what i was 10 years ago
- my Cholestrol is down 10% (I was on the upper limit when i started)
- The experience when I stride alone on tuesday morning is something I
long for - I cannot describe the feeling
- After about 11 months of running - I am prompted to look at this
sport seriously and have egged myself to write a goal
- I am much more calmer
- my resting heart rate is down - somewhere between 45 to 50" - U G

"I had joined Runners High to start running and participate in
Auroville 2010 - 10 KM run. This was my first attempted long run, my
last run was 300 m that too in desperation to catch a train! I am very
pleased that I was able to complete the training and run in Auroville
without injury. I thoroughly enjoyed the training program spanning over
two months. The Runner's High program is the best, it has lot of
personal attention and all aspects like fitness, nutrition and running
form are covered. I have signed up for the next program and I hope that
I can participate in all their programs. This program is highly
recommended for anyone who is starting to run or seasoned runners who
are looking for good company to run." - Prakash Krishnamachari, IT

"For someone who has never run in life, I could not believe that I
could run 10K! It is a great feeling and thanks to the whole team.

experience was superb! Felt like being in college again." - Rukmini GR,
