Chatting earlier today with Sonali Barshilia, she mentioned music she enjoys and, as ever, this section of my Q&As with runners is always a learning experience. Take this song, ‘Roar”, for example. Truly, truly awful YouTube video. Fun song. (Only 90 bpm, though) It’s catchy and upbeat, and once I’ve …
My word, but running a running blog (pun intended) is such fun 🙂 Last Sunday, as you may remember, we had Deeksha Gahlaut from the ASICS Running Club, hitting 30km, her longest run to date, an experience she shared with us here in a guest post Her “record” lasted but …
As I’ve said before in this blog – gotta love running. It teaches you so much about music 😛 In our Q&A section, asking runners that elemental question “Why do you run?” I always ask them for their favourite running song. Today we Q&A-ed with Ripu Daman, who shared a …
I shared with you a little earlier a guest post from Deeksha Gahlaut, a young runner I know, who yesterday ran 30km all on her own, the furthest she has ever run. Navi Singh, one of our mutual running friends (& also a star guest blogger) sweetly chose 2 songs …

WHAT. A. Song. Always loved this song – actually I love most of what Billy Joel sings – and it is a great one to run along to, singing my little out-of-tune heart out 🙂 bpm 145 If you want to add this track to your running playlist …
As a parent, this is actually the sort of advice I should mete out to my own children, but since they are all grown up & sensible, perhaps I should rather advise myself 😛 This song makes me happy – though the beat is disconcertingly fast to try and run to – …
First watch the track of this great Bollywood song and then I’ll tell you why it’s on my playlist – not that such a catchy song really needs any explanation, to be honest! This is from the film Dil Dhadakne Do and has been played at just about every wedding I’ve …
