EP 74 | The Black Shadow of Indian Ultrarunning Featuring Shikha Pahwa

Episode 74 is a conversation with Shikha Pahwa, who, in addition to being an entrepreneur and the founder of two cafés —Qahwa, which used to be a well-known hangout in the SDA market in Delhi, and now Herb Kitchen at Siri Fort—also happens to be one of the best female ultra runners in the country.  She’s been a podium finisher at the country’s biggest running event, which is now called the Tata Mumbai Marathon, on multiple occasions. She’s also run the Ladakh Marathon, Khardung-la Challenge, La-ultra 111, Silk Route Ultra 122k, and attempted the La Ultra 222k, where she DNFd at 212km. How agonising can that be?!
