    Episode 36: The Epic Episode- The Man himself

    In a rare and refreshing role reversal, RunPod Episode 36 turns the spotlight inward. For the first time, Brig J Muthukrishan, SM, VSM—the familiar host and commanding voice of RunPod—steps out from behind the microphone and into the interviewee’s chair. Leading the conversation are two young, dynamic long-distance runners, Medical Cadets Zoha and Chaitanya, whose energy, curiosity, and endurance mirror the very spirit RunPod stands for. Released on the occasion of the New Year, this special episode is more than an interview—it is a celebration of leadership, resilience, mentorship, and the passing of the baton between generations. Through candid questions and thoughtful reflections, listeners gain a rare glimpse into the journey, values, challenges, and philosophy of a leader who has inspired many—both on the track and beyond it. As the year turns, this episode reminds us that growth begins when we listen, learning is lifelong, and every leader is also a runner on a longer path. 🎙️ An epic conversation. A symbolic beginning. A New Year special you don’t want to miss.

    Episode 35: Ultra Miles, Unshakeable Minds-The saga of two Medical Cadets

    In the 35th episode of RUNPOD, hosted by Brig J Muthukrishnan, we sit down with two exceptional medical cadets—Chaitanya Agarwal and Vikas Kumar—whose journeys exemplify endurance, consistency, and quiet grit. Chaitanya, a multiple-time marathoner and SRTL 100 km finisher, also served as Secretary of the AFMC Marathoners Club (2024–25) and has played a key role in organizing college running events. He believes progress in sport comes from consistency, quality training, and commitment to the process. Vikas has completed multiple marathons, ultra trail runs, including the SRTL 100 km, and a 200 km BRM cycling brevet, finding clarity and resilience through long hours on the trail. For him, running is more than a sport—it is a teacher of discipline, patience, and resilience. He finds clarity in long hours spent alone on the trail, where consistency matters far more than perfection. This episode is a deep dive into the mindset of young endurance athletes in uniform—how running shapes character, leadership, and life beyond the finish line. So tune in now to be mesmerised and motivated by these two young ultras.

    Episode 33: Sanctuary in Stride: Running Without a Reason

    In Episode 33 of RunPod, we welcome Col Ashish Simalti (Retd), a D2 batch alumnus of AFMC and a seasoned paediatric intensivist, whose relationship with running is refreshingly personal. For him, running is not about mileage, medals, or medical metrics—it’s an indulgence, not an obligation. It's a quiet rebellion against pressure, a return to self when the world turns overwhelming. Over the years, running has become his sanctuary, a space to reflect, to recover, and to just be. This episode is a calming counterpoint to performance-driven narratives—a conversation about running for joy, peace, and presence. It’s about lacing up not to chase time, but to find it.

For Maj Pranshu, running has been more than a sport—it’s been a teacher. Through countless kilometers, he has embraced the lessons of resilience, patience, and perseverance, qualities that now shape his approach to medicine and life. In this conversation, he reflects on the parallels between pushing physical boundaries during training and navigating the emotional and mental demands of his professional world. Whether you're a doctor, a runner, or someone finding meaning in motion, this episode is a reminder that some of life’s deepest truths come to us one step at a time.

    Episode 29: No Finish Lines, Not Intervals

    In this offbeat and thought-provoking episode of RunPod, we meet Lt Col (Dr) Sreevatsa T , a runner who defies conventional playbooks. No obsession with personal records. No fixed training distances. No gels, gadgets, or hydration rituals. Just purpose, curiosity, and instinct. Whether it’s pausing mid-run for a photo, fueling with a minimalist one-meal-a-day diet, or running through the night without a set destination, our guest embraces discomfort and finds joy in the unscripted. Audiobooks, cycling, and swimming add texture to the journey—but the real power lies in tuning into the body, not the stopwatch. This episode is for anyone who's ever questioned the rules, run for joy, or believed that the road doesn’t need to be conquered—it just needs to be travelled, freely.
