#ultrarunning #marathonrunner Kiran Krishnamurthy's roots in running are atypical. An adult-onset runner, who is naturally "underweight" as Kiran describes it, his motivation was to get fit and never about getting in shape. Running was never a passion for him till 2016. It started with Fitbit challenges with friends and found it tough to win by just walking, so he took up running to get more steps in a shorter time span. With a newfound liking for running, he joined the local hiking club. Since then he has been running to explore the beautiful trails in the Bay Area and looking to run marathons/ultramarathons and keep pushing his limits.
