A year on…reflecting on injury

A year on…reflecting on injury
Run chat / Run healthy November 23, 2020 November 23, 2020 1 comment

A year ago today, 23 November 2019, I tore the meniscus in my left knee, chasing after a bunch of schoolboys who were harassing me. I had gone for a mid-morning run in my beloved Biodiversity Park, preparing for a half marathon in December, the Mumbai Marathon in January, followed …

Let’s hear it for kettlebells!

Let’s hear it for kettlebells!
Run chat / Run healthy / Training November 6, 2020 November 8, 2020 4 Comments

It’s that absolutely horrible time of year again, here in Delhi, where I live. The pollution gets so bad, with the AQI plunging to dangerous levels, that it is just too damned dangerous to run outside. It was so bad today that we even wondered whether or nor to go …

Good news about bandanas

Good news about bandanas
Run chat / Run healthy August 22, 2020 August 22, 2020 Leave a comment

Do NOT throw your bandana away! Repeat, do NOT throw your bandana away! Remember that study from Duke University in the US that I wrote about recently, in which they ranked the effectiveness of face coverings? Here’s the link to my original blog post. In the Duke study, buffs/bandanas/neck gaiters …

Which mask should we be wearing?

Which mask should we be wearing?
Run chat / Run healthy / Run India August 13, 2020 August 13, 2020 9 Comments

Well, this is all rather embarrassing. Ever since lockdown was lifted here in Delhi and we were allowed out to exercise, I have been running/walking every day wearing a bandana. I am scrupulous about covering up when I run past other people in the park, and I have taken issue …

Yesterday’s post by Katha, about running in the Lake District, reminded me that I hadn’t shared with you a completely, madly courageous story from the same, lovely part of the UK. This is the story of the latest runner to complete The Wainwrights, a series of 214 peaks in the …

Following on from our inaugural coaching post last week about push ups, this week we are chatting with Coach Jeevan, from Decodesnc, about PLANKS. How to do them, how useful are they, how long should they be held – you name it, Coach has the answers here for you. This …

It was this photo on Instagram that piqued my interest. As quite possibly the world’s worst pusher-up (you know what I mean!) I was intrigued. From time to time I make a resolution to work on my push ups, do them assiduously for about 2 days, and then give up …

How was your June mileage?

How was your June mileage?
Run chat / Run healthy / Run India July 1, 2020 July 1, 2020 21 Comments

Another month in this strange Covid-19 world of ours. Although lockdown has been lifted here in Delhi, we still have restrictions. We’re allowed out to exercise, for example, but parks don’t open until 6.00, by which time it is already crazy hot. “How crazy?” do I hear you ask? Try …

Run chat / Run healthy / Run India June 27, 2020 June 27, 2020 1 comment

I did a v-e-r-y slow 13km this hot and humid morning in my usual haunt, the Biodiversity Park, and it was all pretty jam-packed: a) I met 3 friends who used to be in my running group, before the group sadly split and went its various ways. I ran for …

Run chat / Run healthy / Run India June 24, 2020 June 24, 2020 Leave a comment

I was just ‘tidying up’ my iPad, ie closing down all the tabs I’d left open, & came across an article from The Times about the cancelled London Marathon, and how people had, nevertheless, marked the event, running it virtually, or solo, or in their back garden. The article was …
