Madhu Bala

Pursued MBA in Finance and secured a stable corporate position until 2018 when she decided to take a break. Growing up in an army family, she was a disciplined, studious kid who had no hobbies and wanted to explore one. She was introduced to running in 2017 by her husband when he asked her to join him in one of his runs. 

In 2018 she ran 6K fun runs and slowly graduated to 10K by 2019. In 2020, as COVID struck, she became more consistent and committed by never missing her 3-day run and physical stretching exercise at home weekly. She has done the 10K at Bajaj Allianz Pune Half Marathon, Pinkathon, and Tata Mumbai Marathon. 

It's been four years now since Madhu Bala started running and she feels like running has kept her motivated. She has re-entered the corporate world but has never sacrificed her running for it to date.
