Imagine running 3100 miles/4989 kilometres. Yeah, I can’t imagine it either, but work with me here for a moment. Let’s imagine that you were indeed going to run this race. All 3100 miles of it. You’d be forgiven for thinking that the world’s longest race, the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transendence race …
Today’s guest post comes from the ever-eloquent, always-enthusiastic Kathakoli who used to live here in Delhi, but is now based in the UK. And, Katha dearest, this post made me SO nostalgic, since I have run that exact same loop quite a few times. My sister lives in that part …
I’m a firm believer in better late than never, and so this running post from last Sunday fits the bill perfectly 😛 My running friend Mukul Oberoi, who has written guest posts for us before, has an infallible eye for the quirky, the unusual and the beautifully scenic, as he …
My UK-based friend Kathakoli has just sent me THE most hilarious/agonising/nerve-wracking account of her race last night in the northern seaside town of Blackpool. It is a real cliff-hanger, and I won’t spoil the fun by telling you what happened in the end, but suffice it to say, it’s one …
My running mate Dilawer Khan, who has shared photos and guest-blogged for us before, has EXCELLED himself today. Dilawer lives and works in Jammu, but is currently visiting Srinagar in Kashmir, and sent me photos from his run this morning. Gorgeous views of Dal Lake with the houseboats and shikaras: …
Delhi (where I live) has been reeling under a heatwave for weeks now, and the monsoon that we were told would arrive “the earliest ever!!” has faffed around and is now scheduled to be “the latest ever!!” This morning I headed out to my local park in brutal heat and …
Sitting sweltering in Delhi’s heatwave, I was green with envy at the thought of my friend Neeraj running in the cool hills of Uttarakhand. Neeraj and I used to run together…no…let me rephrase that… …Neeraj and I used to be part of the same running group (this was back in …
If I tell you that this is the 3rd guest post in a row from my mate Mukul Oberoi, kindly do NOT shout “favouritism”!!! All you have to do is run like him and take smashing photos like him, send them to me, and then we’re A for away 🙂 …
Again. “WHAT??” do I hear you exclaim, “Not ANOTHER post from your mate Mukul, who is swanning around Goa, while we urban types WILT in the heat?” Well, yes, actually. Sorry ‘n all, but my friend Mukul is indeed our guest blogger for the second time in as many days, …
My friend Mukul Oberoi shared some fab photos from Goa, where he has been running on the beach, lucky, lucky fella. Mukul is making a come-back after a few non-running weeks, and I suspect every other getting-back-into-shape-after-a-break runner knows exactly what Mukul is going through. I know I certainly do …
