Actually, that title is a bit of a misnomer. Because I’m still walking. Not running. My wretched torn meniscus is s-l-0-w-l-y healing, but it is definitely taking its own sweet time. So to claim I’m running is a step too far. Be that as it may, in these strange troubling …
This guest post from the one and only Sanjeev Chhabra is an extraordinary account of a comeback to running, & what a comeback! Sanjeev donated a kidney 3 months before his half, so the physical and mental recovery involved is truly impressive. His story is also very funny. Thanks, Sanjeev, …
I’m slowly recovering from injury – torn meniscus in my left knee – and am not yet running, but I am walking. Hence the change in the title of this blog. (Did you notice?! Go on, admit it, bet you didn’t!) So, yes, this afternoon I went for a slow, …
Said it before, saying it again. Runners are THE best. My friend Sneh Wadhwaney, who was our guest blogger on New Year’s Day, just ran her personal best in yesterday’s Tata Mumbai Marathon, clocking a smashing time of 2:08 in the half marathon. Super congrats, my girl, and well done …

Runners are strange people, I tell ya’ 😛 Firstly, they get up at dawn and run. And then, as if that in itself isn’t strange enough, they also decide to run for a cause. And then they do it day after day after day. And they do it in the …
As anyone who knows me/runs with me will be aware, I HATE the litter that is omni-present all over India. For decades now, I’ve picked up the litter wherever I am, on the basis that why walk past litter if you can pick it up & dispose of it properly? …
One of my running friends, Nischint Katoch is running a mad, crazy, insane race next month. And I am in TOTAL awe of him. I am in awe of his dedication. And I am in complete awe of his training which he documents on social media. I’ve talked here in …
So said Coach at our ASICS Running Club training session yesterday. He wasn’t joking, and he wasn’t making a joke either. It was a drill involving one person bending and extending a leg, and the partner pulling said leg, to enforce the stretch. By this time I was too tired …
There are mornings when it is SO tempting to switch off the 4.30am alarm and go back to sleep – like this morning, after yet another wretched power cut made for a poor night’s sleep. But I somehow dragged myself out of bed and headed off to meet my ASICS …
