I ran the half marathon in this event on Sunday, so can only really speak to that race, although I noted certain things that affect everyone, regardless of category, and some things that are specific to the longer distances. So here goes. In the interests of full disclosure, I enjoyed …
Before I start…I know, I know, I know. No one is remotely interested in my marathon journey except me. Literally no-one. My darling children are always very supportive. Ditto my running friends in Delhi. Ditto my running guru, Dr. Chauhan, on whose shoulders I regularly cry. But that is a …
This morning, I ran THE slowest half marathon EVER of my decidedly patchy “running” career… BUT!!! BUT…and here let me insert a quick drumroll for the raucous cheerleading team from Adidas Runners…as I ran past them on Lodhi Road in the pre-dawn dark, my name was shouted out over the …
Before I share my super-soggy run in the Biodiversity Park with you, please don’t “@” me, telling me that rain is what I should expect in Delhi’s monsoon season. I know, I know. But my silly weather app gave me only a 30%? 40%? possibility of getting drenched, so I …
In the interests of full disclosure, today’s 13km was a judicious mix of running, lots of walking, and quite a bit of sheltering from torrential rain. Got crazy soaked but had a crazy amazing time, so that all worked out well! But the focus of “what I saw on my …

Before I tell you the answer to this question, let me quickly explain that this section of my blog is actually called “What did I see on my run?” (this is a running blog, after all!) but given my recent stupid hamstring aches and pains, walking is as good as …
Lats night Delhi had the mother of all storms. Sudden, violent and for those poor souls who were killed by falling poles, ulimately tragic. Crazy winds, hailstones and then rain. Once we’d battened down the hatches (we have a broken window in the stairwell, so that was a bit hairy…) …
I know, I know, this is a running blog, and that I’m supposed to be a runner but… Life happens. Niggles happen. And since my stupid left hamstring is proving to be a very stubborn niggle and not healing, running is off the cards for the moment. But I’m still …
Actually, this is, once again, a misleading blog title, because I am STILL NOT BACK TO RUNNING. Whoops, apologies for shouting. But I am SO bored by my own hamstring niggles (so I can only imagine how bored you must be!) but the wretched thing is still acting up… …plus …
