Another race bites the dust
Race reports / Run India July 10, 2020 July 10, 2020 3 Comments

Sadly, now it’s the turn of September’s Ladakh Marathon to be cancelled, due to this wretched Covid-19 pandemic. Here’s the official announcement, & the link to the website: Interestingly, the 2 ultra events haven’t yet been cancelled – so let’s hope they, at least, might still be able to take …

Yet another race has been cancelled due to this vile Coronavirus. The uber-prestigious Boston Marathon, already postponed from April 2020 to September 2020, has now been cancelled, and will become instead a virtual event. This is the first time in the race’s 124 year history that it has been cancelled, …

My resolutely non-running hubby sent me a link to an article in The Economist. It makes fascinating but quite bizarre reading. Apparently there is an extraordinarily high percentage of cheating in the Mexico City marathon. So much so, that there is a delightful expression for the fake runners of this …

Do you #daretorun?
Race reports / Run healthy / Run India April 6, 2019 May 8, 2020 Leave a comment

One of the first things I do, on waking up every morning, is to check the air quality index, which I often share on social media, on my running Insta feed, like so : For those of you who don’t know me, I live in New Delhi, which has the …

I’ve waited a week before sitting down to write my review of last Sunday’s IDBI Federal Life New Delhi Marathon. I’ve pretty much recovered from my marathon, I’ve even raced again – a 5k & a PB yesterday, oh joy of joys! – but all through the last week I’ve …

There are days when I’m out running, & feel so on top of the world & energised and oh-so-wonderfully alive, that I quietly regret only starting to run when I turned 60. I catch myself thinking “Oh, if only I’d started running in my youth, or in my 20s/30s/40s/50s”…and then …

Who else is running a race tomorrow? Who else is spending Saturday night busy checking their gear and their playlists and their stash of gels? Tomorrow morning, I’ll be running a half marathon in New Delhi, India, where I live, and with a 5.00am reporting time, it behoves me to …
