Meet Nupur Sashti

After a 15-year break from running, Nupur was inspired to lace up again after watching her son run the Philly Marathon. She started with small steps – a 5K, then a 10K, joining a local run club – before taking the big leap: committing to the Fleet Feet Half Marathon Training Program to run the Nash Half in October.

I CANNOT recommend Fleet Feet enough! The team offers such a supportive community and Brooke (our head coach) was incredible — coaching me through my many worries and always cheering me on at every milestone.

Throughout training, I focused on eating well, resting well, getting in my runs — and it all paid off. Race day was fantastic! I ran with my running buddy (shout-out to Stacey B.) and crossed the finish line feeling accomplished, proud, and so, so happy. The sweetest part was being able to honor my father, who taught me so much.

I’m already looking ahead to my next challenge — running a full marathon in 2026 (yikes and yay!) — and I’ll definitely be turning to Fleet Feet’s training program to help me get there!
