EP4 - Encounters in the Wild: 10 Types of Trail Runners You'll See at Races | Kaustav Saha

  • Summary

  • Kaustav Saha joins us as we list down 10 trail runner archetypes in the Indian running and racing scene. You'll find them on Whatsapp groups, trail running communities, and on the trail itself. And what's more - not only do we see them everywhere, we've all also BEEN these characters at some point in our running journey. Listen along for a showdown and your virtual encounters with 10 most commonly found species of trail runners in Indian events.

    Kaustav is an up and coming trail runner from Delhi/NCR who has been shining at some really tough mountain races. From Buddha Trails 30k to Solang SkyUltra 30k (both in 2022) to Red Stone Ultra 50k and the recently held Buddha Trails 65k, the only thing that can beat his race timings is probably his talking - which comes as a perk with his profession as a lawyer AND a teacher of law.

    In no particular order, we talk about:

    • 10 types of trail runners in the Indian events circuit
    • What it means to be each of these
    • Why one should or should not (mostly should not) be any of these
    • Some notable mentions that didn't really make the cut
    • Approve-o-meter ratings for all these encounters
    • Various random banter (including our very first f-bomb)
