I am ECSTATIC!!! I bettered my lockdown April mileage! In April I covered 183.25km In May I covered 183.3km 😛 I kid you not! How on earth I managed that feat I have NO idea. But the fact of the matter is that I have been actually running more this …
This is SUCH a great post from my British friend Dave, who has just had a milestone birthday, turning 50 under lockdown. Dave has been featured here & has blogged for us here too. And now he shares his 50th birthday run in ‘lockdown.’ It’s a happy, upbeat post, and …
All through lockdown in Delhi, where I live, I have walked every day. Steadily, every day, up and down the driveway. Or round and round our terrace. Sometimes I even “ran,” in short 20m bursts. That has been my routine since March 22nd. So when our Lockdown 4.0 restrictions were …
People in the UK have been allowed out all throughout lockdown, making the likes of me pretty darn jealous. Initially Brits were allowed out for around an hour or so a day – a reasonable time, basically – but now it is unlimited, and with the lovely weather they are …
My London-based friend Romit Basu messaged me a few days ago, and I quote: “Finally managed to motivate myself into going for a long run. Managed to get in 13.5k. Bumped into friends on the way. Said social distancing hello.“ And THIS is what struck me about his photos – …

And with a quick cyber drumroll, I give you my new look running blog. I’ve tidied up, and edited, and streamlined, and generally revamped the look and feel of the blog. Quite frankly, you all deserve a medal for sticking with the old format of the blog, which, I now …
Since not many of us are able to run, during these globally locked-down days, I have decided to use this enforced down time to do some blog maintenance and house-keeping. Touch wood, I’ll be up and running (pun intended!) in a couple of days. So please keep checking in here, …
Whilst many of you have been running marathons inside your home during lockdown, I have not been as industrious nor energetic. No crazy impressive lockdown miles to report. Just 183.25km for a month of TOTAL lockdown. I would, however, like to mention 2 things: a) please don’t miss the .25 …
Sitting here in locked-down Delhi, the question I’m posing in the title of today’s blog is purely academic. For the moment, at least. Currently, I am “running” up and down my driveway, in 30m stretches, with only my 2 dogs for company, and even they get bored after a while, …
