  • Stayin’ Alive for Runs this Summer

    Stayin’ alive seems to the goal of this Summer! Motivation and health have taken a hit recently… the heat and related disruptions have never been so annoying… Every summer, when things get hard, I ask myself what the purpose of these runs is. Do I need to run because I have created myself this ‘runner’…

  • Summer Runs are Back

    Running in the summer can be very challenging compared to other seasons. Summer in India (except for the hills) is intense. Along with the fact that this is off season for many runners and the body would be recovering, runs are harder due to heat, and humidity. When temperatures rise, your body must work harder…

  • What a 10km hard pounding on road can do to you?

  • 100 days of running 2018

    Yes… done with that too… With me running every day since last year’s ‘100 days of running’, completing the 2018 edition was not difficult at all… Ran over 1250 km in over 142 hours in those 100 days! The most satisfying part of the whole thing is the Delhi summer couldn’t stop me. The weather…
