Nikhil Singh Wins Ladakh Marathon Citing Strategy and Mental Strength
Nikhil Singh won the high-altitude Ladakh Marathon in 2 hours, 44 minutes, and 40 seconds, attributing his victory to mental strength, consistency, and strategy. This was his first time competing in Ladakh, and despite initial altitude sickness symptoms, he maintained pace without walking. Singh, an elite Indian runner trained in Mumbai, adapted quickly to the route by following others and excelled on flat sections. He plans to return next year to defend his title with improved timing.
