Katha and Dave’s UK runcation has (sadly) come to an end. Sad for them, I’m sure, but even more so for this blog, because Katha’s daily posts have been source of joy (& learning!!) this past week. I found this final post both poetic and also quite moving. Katha expresses …
My UK-based friends Katha & Dave are still jaunting their way around southern England on holiday, and in today’s guest post Katha chats to us from the Cotswolds. I remember Cotswold villages as being ridiculously pretty and scenic, so it was a joy to revisit them here – and (a …
My Zimbabwean/South African friend Will Taylor is a fearsomely talented photographer, and his wildlife photos from the bush are absolutely stunning. So no surprises, then, that his “out for a run” photos are also pretty darned fantastic. Like so: HOW gorgeous is this? Despite knowing Cape Town quite well (we …
The lovely Kathakoli Dasgupta has been sharing, day by day, her UK holiday, since Covid-19 put paid to Vietnam, where she & Dave had planned to be right now. So instead they are touring southern England, and Katha is running and sharing the sights & her interesting discoveries with us …

Pretty much confined to barracks here in hot ‘n humid Delhi, news from friends overseas is a literal breath of fresh air. The lovely Kathakoli Dasgupta, who is based in Lancashire in the ‘ol home country sent me this lovely message last night, after her Sunday run: “What I saw …
Gotta love my girlfriends. My friend Shalini, sitting up in the mountains of Himachal (lucky thing, by the way) Whatsapped me a link to an article in today’s New York Times, about a naked run. As one does. Last weekend a Bouncing Buns Clothing Optional 5k was held in the …
Over the past few months, I have shared with you photos from my London-based friend Alison, who runs and exercises in Richmond Park, a glorious area in the south of the city, with huge open spaces and smashing tracks for running and biking. Plus there are herds of deer roaming …
…sort of cancelled. Like so: “Will not take place in its usual format” is, it turns out, a bit of an understatement. There will only be 30-40 elites who will not run the normal race route but will instead run loops in a biosecure bubble – jeez, this new normal …
