The Coach Behind
3500+ Transformations
Coach Vikas Srinivasan didn't just fall into running. He was built for it. A competitive Masters athlete who has won gold medals at state and national level, Vikas brings a unique combination of personal athletic excellence and a deep passion for teaching others to run their best.
In 2018, he founded Runpundit at Agara Lake in HSR Layout, Bangalore, which has since become the city's most beloved running community. Every morning at 5AM, rain or shine, you'll find him on the track with his athletes.
What sets Coach Vikas apart is his belief that every runner, regardless of age, fitness, or background, can improve dramatically with the right structure. He has coached absolute beginners in their 50s to run their first 5K, and elite athletes to finish Ironman triathlons and 160K ultras.
His approach is refreshingly honest: no gimmicks, no cookie-cutter plans. Just detailed assessment, personalised training, constant feedback, and genuine care. He stays with you through setbacks, injuries, and victories. The results speak for themselves.

How We Coach
Structured Training
Every session is structured around periodisation, progressive overload, and evidence-based methods. No guesswork, just results.
Whole-Runner Approach
Strength, mobility, nutrition, sleep, mental resilience. Vikas coaches the complete athlete, not just the running sessions.
Community First
Runpundit is more than a coaching programme. It's a family. Athletes motivate each other, celebrate together, and grow together.
