Coach Vikas Srinivasan — Coaching Chennai Runners Online
If you have searched for a "running coach near me" in Chennai and found mostly local gym trainers with generic plans, Runpundit is different. Coach Vikas Srinivasan has coached 3500+ runners across India — including Chennai — with a fully personalised online approach since 2018.
A competitive Masters athlete himself with National Gold and Silver medals, Coach Vikas brings both academic coaching methodology and real race experience. He has taken Chennai runners from their first uncomfortable kilometre to sub-50 minute 10Ks, half marathon finishes, and full marathon completions.
No generic plans. No one-size-fits-all schedules. Every Chennai runner gets a personalised, data-driven plan built around their body, race goal, and schedule — and a coach who checks in every single week.

Why Chennai Runners Choose Runpundit
Most online running plans are downloaded PDFs with no accountability. Runpundit is different. Every Chennai runner gets a coach who reads their Strava data, adjusts their plan weekly, and is available on WhatsApp when something feels off.
Coach Vikas has taken athletes from Chennai to the podium at the Tata Mumbai Marathon, Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon, and TCS World 10K Bengaluru. The same coaching system that delivers race podiums is available to every runner, beginner or experienced.
